Mr. York 7y1nts.
Our export trade In fresl, beef must sooner
or lutcr encounter u Formidable competition
from Australia. New York Is 5000 miles
from London, whtlo Sydney, by tho Sucx
route, Is nbort $1,000; but Anstralin's al1~
vantage OF cheaper production more tltan
ohtwcigl,s the grcatcr cost Of transportation.
TLs fncts necessary for comparison can bo
very hrsity stated. beef can be purchased
Mt Sydney for 1 cents pound, and It costs
cents pound 10 shlp 1t TO London. Cool
beef Is now selling In this city for shipment
Mt from w to t0N cents pound. Uy tho
time IL renclcs tho London market, there
fore, IL has cost from 3 TO- CENTS
per pound more Than Australian meat.
This very considerable margin makes all
the differences between holding tho ,nnrket
