port rabbit meat and beef from Australia,
and cattle and beef from Brazil, have
failed either to bring prices down or give
satisfaction in any form. American beet

the hour in every way. They reach
England in splendid condition, and sell
for from I'D. a pound for bits TO Sd. a
pound for choice pieces, which is ID. or
