NEW ZEALAND’S EXPORTS.
Bv Toleeraph—Press Association. Wellington, last night. The value of tho chief items of produce exported from tho colony for the month of April was: Butter £36,741, cheese £21,804, frozen beef £12,801, frozen mutton £100,977, frozen lamb £118,923, total j?oqi 246. Tho figures for the corresponding 'month of 1902 were: Butter £98,810, cheese £26.965, frozen beef £35,542, frozen mutton £177,914. frozen lamb £160,111, total £439,348 ; decrease £148,102. It is explained that the large decrease in tho shipment of butter is due to tho glut in prices, and that butter is being stored in hopes of a better market. With reference to tho decrease in frozen meat the explanation is that some heavy shipments may havo just been included in tho lists for April, 1902, which has not been the case this year, but in any case there has not been an appreciable decrease in exports of meat as far as the Department knows.
