Australian MIrrop N New York.

An Atlantic Transport liner which ar
rived at New York from London Thurs
day brought S91 frozen carcasses of New
Zealand mutton. The tariff amounts to
cent and half a pound, and there are
freight charges to pay for transportation
half round the globe; vet the mutton, it
is said, can be sold at prices below those
which New York butchers are asking for
domestic mutton, and the suggestion is
made that if this is done meat dealers
in New York will have an unloOkedfor
situation to meet.
How much below the prevailing New
York prices for american mutton Aus
tralian mutton can be placed on the
market does not appear, but it has been
no unusual thing under conditions here
tofore prevailing for wide disparity in
prices to prevail in different meat shops
of a single city. Often in Milwaukee
there has been a difference of several
cents pound between the same cuts
of meat at downtown butcher shops and
those on the North side. This is partly
due to differences in the character of
the trade supplied, and partly to differ
enceS in the expense of conducting the
business. A butcher who pays high rent,
expects to deliver even as small a pur-
chase as pound of chops, and is obliged
to employ a clerk for the taking of or
ueIS ny lclcpuOuC, Will ne OUISGu To
charge more per pound for what he sells
than one whose rent charge is low and
many of whose customers come to his
store and carry their orders home with
them.
The Australian mutton incident shows
that If American meat prices rise very
high, the commercial instinct of the peo-
pie will find relief from them i'll spite
of the tariff. The addition of consider
ably more than a cent and a half a
pound to the cost of imported meats by
reason of the tariff would not constitute
an insuperable barrier against importa-
ton. When General Kitchener was in
terviewed at Chicago the other day he
spoke Of the anticipated completion Of
the Panama canal as a condition contrib
uting to international peace, of whose
factors be named food as one of the
first. 1.-THE nation whose food supply is
cramped," he observed, sis restless and
irritable. 1t wants to expand. 1t wants
what the other fellow has" Then, after
enlarging upon the comfort it was to him
as a peace-loving man to see the broad
acres of food producing land in North
America. he pronounced the construction
Of the Panama canal ''the best move
America ever made" and observed that
it's Importance is great whether looked
at from a military or a commercial view
point. If Australian mutton can be
prOfitably secured to appease New YOrk's
meat hunger now, obviously it will be
still more accessible and cheaper after
the completion of the Panama canal,
when it will not come by way of Lon
don, but will be brought direct.

Extremely simple in design, but effec-
