THE BRITISH MEAT TRADE. 
Dean Meat. 
Tie trade has been inactive, owing to the hot and thundery weather. At the 
Central Meat Market, business was very dull, except-for lamb, which was 
scarce. The trade has continued dull, but lamb has sold steadily, very little 
of it being on offer. 
The Agricultural Gazette (London), writing of the meat trade on 26th 
July, says :—“ Very slow trade. Heavy supplies. Difficult to effect sales.”
