EYE Cattle Export * x ok % (continued from last week) "I spent nearly six weeks in Great Britain, most of it in London or the near neighbourhood thereof, attending the conferences in connection with the "lifting of the embargo" question, but, as may be imagined, I had a good deal of time between meetings which I attempted to spend profitably Ly look- ing into our agricultural trade in order to ascertain the actual conditions maintaining on the beef, bacon, butter, cheese and egg markets; the gencral character of the produce shipped to these markets. from Canada and the esteem in which our produce ig held by the handler and consumer. "It is just a little unpleasant to have to say that according to statements made to me by some of the more iim- portant commission men and others interested in such produce as we ship to Great Britain, and to judge hy the reputation enjoyed by our produce some few years ago as compared with similar produce shipped by our com- petitors in Denmark, Holland, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Argentina, we, in Canada, have not been making quite as much progress in the improvement of the appearance and quality of our exports as have some of our abovementioned compet- ing countries, since, in many cased, produce from these countries looks better and sells better than similar produce. from Canada today. It be- came quite evident to me as I pursued my enquiries and continued to com- pare Canadian with similar products from one or another of our competing countries, that in very many cases in- deed were these competing countries sending goods superior in appearance at least, to those coming from Canada. One of the most striking peenlinpity in favour of many of the prod from our competitors, was the formity in appearance and quality as contrasted with the lack of uniformity in appearance and quality in our Can- adian products, this applying more particularly, of course, to bacon, chee and butter. : "In thé case of bacon, in which too great a proportion of the sides in ev- idence were too short and just slightly too thick as compared with the Danish which easily topped the import market and was usually selling for fifteen or sixteen shillings per ewt. (112ibs) per pound more than Canadian bacon wholesale, and to judge by what I could learn from retail sellers, which was very little, the difference was pos- sibly greater relatively in their case than in the case of the wholesalers. "Our butter, due to the variation-in quality is" at a great disadvantage as |: compared with butter from New Zea- land and South Australia, where the output of -individual factories is very great, and where cattle are on grass The lack of trade In addition, our packages. do not seem to be as well made and are certainly not as attractive looking as those com- ing from our antipodean competitors, and the finish on' the butter and the wrapping again show up to disadvan- tage. "Our cheese, whe Sill enjoying an excellent reputation, can hardly be said to now hold the first place on the British market since, while it may sell for only a few cents less a ewt. or pos- sibly the same price even, is not com- monly taken as first choice,' the New Zealand article now that. distinction, this being due, it was claimed by some J of the commission meu, to greater un- iformity, to better packages and to a smoother texture, "with "a cheese slightiy less acid coming from New Zealand. "In the case of eggs, I am glad to say that due to the grading so rigidly enforced by this department; our eggs enjoy a reputation second to none on the British market and show it by the "Our beef varies, of eourse, greatly from day to day. Om one occasion, when visiting the Smithfield market, I saw frozen beef from Argentina, chill- -| ed beef from Canada, fresh-killed:Can- adian beef from the lairages at Liver- pool, fresh-killed Irish beef and Scotch prime beef all on display. = The prices |- were iluminating.
