Wy AMwUIrO I'rw lo Coo nay TlmM.l LONDON, Feb. 17. An authority ou tho frozen meat trade In of the opinion that up to tho present Ger many's ment supply has not been sort oiiBly affected by tho war, but as in all tho other belligerent nations, eco nomy thoro In this respect will bo necessary. Ot tho genornl effects of tho wnr on European meat supplies ho Bays: "In Franco tho hostile occupation of coiiBldcrablo tracts of territory has certainly tended to curtail tho quan tity of meat available but tho remain ing stocks undoubtedly hnvo provid ed disproportionately heavy killings, otherwlso prices would hnvo advanced more than has been tho enso. Prob ably tho lnrgcr proportion of tho 2, 000,000 head ot cattlo In tho eastern provinces, available In July Inst, are permanently lost to Franco, ns meat producers. On tho other hand, Frnnce, having removed Import duties and restrictions, hns already Import ed largo quantities of frozen meat, and bus arranged for still larger Im ports In tho near future. This change of policy Is so marked, nnd Its effect llkoly to bo bo far-reaching, that It can hardly fail to Influence materially tho courso of tho wholo frozen ment trndo for somo tlmo to come. For merly Franco kopt out frozen meat to protect hor farmers. Now that country is admitting frozen meat, not only to Biipply mllltnry requirements, but nlso to protect hor flocks nnd herds from unduo depletion. "In Gormnny, tho pressure of do in and for nrmy requirements hns probably been met thus far from do mestic sources, supplemented by cap ture from Franco nnd Uelglum, and Importation from small neighboring stntcs, who appear to havo slaugh tered stock freoly, but ou tho other hnnd tho Russian supply of cattlo and feeding stuffs nnd tho limited re ceipts of frozen Australian mutton nnd boot hnvo been cut off. In ef fect tho vnluo of moat In Gormnny does not nppoar to havo boon serious ly affected up to tho present, hut In dentions nro not wanting to show thnt grcntor economy in consumption Is now being cnllod for. "Austria Is practically self-contained In rospect to ment requirements although Iloumnnln, Sorbin and other Ilnlkan Stntcs provided somo wolcomo supplies In normal times. These nro now probably missed, nnd heavier lu roads aro being mndo Into her own flocks nnd herds In consequence. Thnt tho mnrgln ot surplus supply In Austria In unimportant was shown by tho tompornry opening of Its murkotfl to frozen ment thrco yoars ago. This populnr stop wnB, how ovor, soon annulled In deference to tho strong pressure which tho Agrar ian Party brought to bear upon tho government." 1,000 TONSOFVAIt MATEHIAL GO DAILY WATEIUtUUY, Conn., Fob. 15.
