Banks is now converted to tho advantages of the meat freezing business, and farmers must be .Willy" grateful >tb ' him (of the change, as he insisted strongly upon its unprofitable nature when it wag ,to be attempted by a farmers' company, which, however* went in too much for extensive appliances, instead <?f ; doing .what was suggested by me, and has now been clone by Messrs Fisher and Co., viz., to get a vessel with freezing apparatus to come to Auckland. My letter on that subject appeared 1 'in the Star, as the 1 Herald would" 'not admit of 1 further correspondence on' a mattter of such vital public importance, sia it Would interfere with the advertising space of the Herald; my letter, however, was reprinted in Southern, papers also.i I see that latnb, brought 9d per lb by. one of the late vessels ; this would nett 6'Jd to the Bender, say Gd. or 20s fora -101b lamb, and as our lambs would go in at the beat season to London, you Ree what a splendid prospect is opened to our farmers. All we want is a sure and profitable market for produce, and less government and taxation to assure general prosperity and increased values for property.— Lain, fee, 'f William Archd. Murray.
