FROZEN MEAT.
It m now just about a year (writes the Lgtidton Times) since the departure of the first cargo of frozi-n meat from Lyttelton for the Old Country. A few statistics illustrating the work since dose m connection with the industry may therefore be of interest to our leader*. On April 7, 1883, the s.s. British King left Lyttellod with a cargo of (5198 carcases ot mutton. Since that day over 80,000 s'neep and lambs have been despatched from Canterbury to the English mvrket, making a total of 86,795 exported m 17 shipments. In addition to these there are now 12,296 carcases either on shipboard at Lyctelton, or at the Belfast works awaiting shipment. The grand total of sheep and lambs killed at Belfast for freezing purposes during the year is thus 99,091. Twhlve months ago 215 sheep were frozen every day. Now the average daily rate while the works are iv operation, is 400 carcases, exactly double the number disposed of at the begining of the period.
