MEAT EXPORT,

[lO TP EPITQR WAIEAfIAPA PAILY.j

Sir,—l was pleased to read the ; account of the public meeting held, in your city on Saturday last re frozen meat, and take this opportunity of stating that I received a private letter from Ireland last mail, that ttie .high quality''of Now the wholo topic among grariers in that country. But, Sir, some information was kept back at your! meeting! which should have been let out: that is,' .the Gnancial arrangements of the company! (;: Small l and middle j men, can't part with their stock without immediate cash, and the company Should-be; [in a position to advanco them seventy;-, five per cent, directly .the stock leaves their padlocks, If 'tliis' is 'hot' 'done the company will never pi'oya amblessing to the settler's, for depemj.upqn jit„large London "their men to purchase direct frpm.the farmers,, at perhaps 3d or 4d. per, 'lb.,', and put the' Wellington' Meat;'Kport ; Company in the shade/'""' r Ji::: : to - Farmers like to see the cash, and the "big", men should'help thejlittle ones for 'the mutual Advantage- of* Doth.

Attempting to take up more shaves, and wringing out of the middleman their last shilling ia not the right way to go to work in the future. No hindrance should be placed in the way of any man slaughtering a couple of hundred sheep itt his own premises, and sending them straight, to Wellington to be frozen on his account and so reap the whole advantage out of the At this season there is not the slightest fear of them going* wrong., (. ij.O 7 I have had hundreds of carcasses of sheep the Wairarapa, and they always'kept better than those killed here;"•■'Let there be free trade |ijjthis matter, and our ships will be filled. i, Youra, ifec, W. McKeever.
