The Frozen Meat Trade.
We hear on good authority that an effort vyiil probably be made by the Wellington Freezing Company to .make' arrangements for d raving a portion of their supplies for the home markets from the smaller orts on the coast, and with this view overtures Will" j he , -made for the purchase of freezing machinery now lying m this district... witfe the m tenlion of having it plaeecl m a vessel of suitable size to run m and out of Wan* gauui, Poxton, and, other of the smaller ports. Of poureo this action is taken to save the cost of driying stock to Wellington, and give the directors a greater range of country to operate upon. If the above project;, ! which we have thorougly reliable authority for, saying is now "on the boards," comes" to anything, we may reasonably expect before not many months have elapsed, to see a steamer jfiih, £hp necessary freezing machinery on bpard, jn t^e river for thp purpoee of receiyiwg a cargo of meat- The carcasses wpuld be frozen on board and theu transbipped, at Wellington into the boine yessei.^rM*?*,watu Herald. .■ ,"\ ; ,
