As the Chinese are almost the sole consumers of fresh pork here, the matter' was left to them. Thus the new company closed down after a brief but determined effort to capture the trade. Quite recently other proprietors have taken over the yards and again' a crusade was started to secure the profitable business, which would result if, say, fifty cents per head were received for each of about 300 pigs a day which are slaughtered at the old yards. The new yards are situated in Kashing Road and for some distance piga being taken to the shambles and the yards from the shops would travel along the same road.
