The following re the British King's cargo is from a letter written by W, P. Davidson, General Manager of the New Zealand and Australian Land Company, to Mr T. Brydone, the Colonial Manager of the Company, dated June 13th:-" The British King's cargo of frozen meat has been mismanaged in Christchnrch, and a few more shipments of a similar kind will leave New Zealand on a par with Ausiralian shippers, Onr parcel was right enough, and has sold at nearly 7d per lb, barring iwenty-two sheep that are still missing, but those consigned to the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company contain a large number in bad order; Many are green and tainted nt the bones from being kept too long before freezing, and others are mildewed, and some hare a sort of tanguo growing over them. I attribute the whole evil to downright carelessness at Christchurch. I I fancy the sheep showing mildew and fungus have eithor not been allowed to stand and cool before killing!, or the carcases have not been properly set or had not theanimalheat sufficiently thrown off before freezing, or thoy were frozen too rapidly. The whole business only needs common sense and care nnd adherence to the rule we have proved to ensure a certainty in the business. I hops you will join with other shareholders in the Christ church Refrigerating Company to agitate against such mismanagement, the effects of which will soon injure the colony: by spoiling a trade which needs all possible nursing. We cannot do too much to keep things up to the mark, and to maintain the character of onr frozen meat, which until now has been first rate."
