WASHLVOTOM', Fek 3.

Important information has Just been received by the slate department from Consul Gen eral Stow at Cape Town, nnder date ct January 7. The report on, the meat situation la of especial importance at present, owing to the possible shortage in the meat supply there aa a result of the South African war. Saya Consul General Stow: "The re cent action of the prime minister of Cape Colony and Natal In suspending tha duty on frozen and elaughteied meat, tho same being 4 cents per pound has th us far conferred no benefit on his eoneumera, particularly those at a distance from the seaboard, and cannot utiles, the duties on canned meats are suspended ad well. "Canned meat is, perhaps, the most important article of export from the United State, to this country. The suspension of the duties on frozen meJt should help the exporter of the United States, but I regret to say the lack of ship, with cold storage accommoda tions prevents them from aequiftrg any of this great trade.

Over 4.000.000 pounds of frozen meat were sent to this country in 1898. not a pound of which came from the United States. The exportation of slaughtered stock should be given prompt attention. The con Burners, which are at the seaports, ob tain no advantage from the cheapen ing of frozen or chilled meats. There should now be on the water a large supply of slaughtered stock.

Austral Ian stock is arriving, as well as shipments from the Argentina republic, Not one head of the slaughtered stock or stock on hoof out of several hundred thousand received in 1898 came from the United States. Frozen meat from Australia is sold cheaper than the meat of the colony, which la rapidly dlaap pearing, even with the old doty cents per pound In force. The suspen sion of duty would put the price dow to a point that would enable die poor est to supply themselves. The trade, however, prefers the slaughtered stock at this time. The act that provided for the suspension of the duty also provided for the 'Balance of loans on cold storage plants to be built by anyone.

The suspension of duty has a limitation, but the cold storage provision will continue. Trade in chilled meat Is in the bands of a monopoly. I wish to call the attention of our cattle and. sheep raisers to the fact that while the United States has no refrigerating ships, plenty of ships can be chartered to bring the slaughtered stock here. Horses and mule, which come in large numbers, reach this port In excellent condition without loss of weight, and it is to be supposed that the same will be true of slaughter THE FAMOUS FURNITURE AND CARPET CO.
