THE FROZEN MEAT TRADE.

The Now Zealand Loan and Mercantile Company (Limited) issued the following circular ou the subject of frozen beof at London ou tlio 12th July. In view of ■ t\\e capabilities of this district for fattening beef, the subject is of much importance :—: — In our special circular dated lSth November, 1881, regarding fro/en meat, some hints weie given as to the slaughtering and freezing, quality and weight of beef which ought to ho shipped so as to best suit the rcqiiirenu nts of this market, and as in over) particular these suggestions ha\e not brcn followed out in thu case o) a slupnu nt of 35 Z quarters reccntlv leccivod per Lady Jocehn at Wellington, Now /eilnnd, it may be wi'H to recapitulate foi the guidance of shippeis, that in order to the successful conduct ol their opeiaMons, the following icgulations ought to be observed — 1. The butchering should be performed b\ experts, convcisant with the requiiements of tinLondon marki t, a sufficient interval being allowed to cl ip»c between .nm.il of mim.il .it slaughter j.uds and its being killed, so as to picvent it being over-he. itcd or exhausted at time ol sin lighter. 2. Jke meat should not be scoicd in fiajing. The carrascs should be sawn not chopped tUrough the chine, thus separating the sides with tin* loist injury to the bone ; fot this onoiation a boa me.it s.iv should be urn d. 3. Die kidney tat need not be remo\f d. 4. Mullocks weighing, whon dead, liom 700 to Ssolbs., t ompac t in frame, .\tl| cohered and in good condition, ought to be selected, and unliss \erv giiMt care be taken m the sepaiation ot the b°J) that no injury is done to the rhino 01 back bone, or if in the handling of the Miles before icfrigeralion then is in} iisk ol abi isuic, it is better to ship m quartets th in in side-., although the latter, if in perfect order, will j leld a better out-turn per lb. in this market than in the former. f> lirforc being placed under lefrigeration tlie beet ought to be thoroughly cooled in a cooling chamber, at a temperature of say 40 dcgices Fahrenheit. Arcordmg to the time oi >e.ir, localit} and weight of meat dealt with must depend the interval allowed to elapse between killing and freezing, but probably 48 hours will prove siifhcient lor the purpose Strict attention ought, however, to be paid on the one hand to cooling and on the other hand to rcfiigetating as soon after cooling as possible, as want of caic in either p.utH nlar will induce decay, more especially at the bone. 0. Aftci refrigeration on shore great care must also be taken not to allow the licet to t'l.iw during transpoit to export \essel, and befoie stowage in the fro/en chamber each quarter ought to be ( arefull> eoveied with calico, and such co\ers should bcdistiiu tly biandcd with a distinguishing mark or number in order to fai ilitate identification. 7. It Keel and .Mutton be shipped in the same vessel the foimei ought to be stowed in i sep.irnte diwsion of the clt imboi from the litter Die reason for this stipulation is that cm aim a] at port of di'clnrgo eierj fi< ility m iv -<c gnen for the independent dclv cry of either destnption of meat 8 The market tor liccf is subject to mote sudden and \iilent fluctuations tlian that fur Mutton, and on this ac ( omit it is t ssenti.il th it facilities be gnen Im pio.np: dihwrj [j\ da> or night, so that in times ot short ltipplics a f.uourable marktt mij be quiekl) uaihdof Australasian shipments of I'ict enter into competition with ihoso from tin Continrnt of Europe and Anunea, sn ill il in tin nenl of supplies ftom these ( eiHiesot ptod tie lion moving abund mt, lower v lines \\ ill rule so lung is th< i e inuntiies .no picpircd to cnntinue shipminls, but in ordtr that tin se should pi on ii nuiiienUve to Ami man produi irs it is neress.uj th it at least (id. per lb for <nh soi bodies should be , realisrd li'li-graphu c o.nmunii ition with the Continent and Ameiica inatei lallv assists in the rapid lonrrnti.ilinn of supplies to (neat Hritain v\hcn the position nf our Lno Sun k and Igt id Mi it in irki ts wairints the adoption ot /siith a course, whereas Austr ilisian shippeis *^y)eing by dist m< c precluded from so qinekh K\ahng thcniselvi s of inj favourrble (hinge in JTprices, must be prop iied foi the contingenc} of their Jieef tiom tune to time reaching an o\cistocked and dull market
