He Frozen Meat Trade. . The|shipments of frozen meat from New Zealand, for the years 1891-2 and 1892-B up to June 30; h respectively, were as follows :- SOUTH I6HND. 1892-3. 1891-2, ■■• lb. lb. Mutton .. „ 30,832,435 41,006,940 Lamb .. .. 2,425,259 1,470,034 Total ~ Beef .. ~ 1,702,750 11,206,576 SOUTH IBUND, 1692-3, 1891-2. lb, • lb.

Beef .... 58,310 152,025 It will thus be seen that from the North Island though there were largershipments of lamb the aggregate ex* ports of mutton and lamb showed a falling-off oi over 3,000,0001bs; while those from the South Island exhibited an increase of nearly 7,000,00011)9, thus giving a net increase of nearly d.OOO.OOOIbs for the Colony. The requirements for Blocking new lands in the North Island explains the decrease, of shipments thence, Tbe shipments of beef go almost entirely from tho North Island, and, as explained in our last issue, the ex-> ports of 1891-2 were excessive and, combined with increased attention to the dairy trade, has led to a general rise in values of cattle.—N.Z.
