FORCING PRICES.
A STRIKE EPISODE.
DAIRY PRODUCE IN LONDON.
(By Telegraph. —Prees Association.)
WELLINGTON, this day.
The following extract is taken from a letter, dated May 4, received by the Wellington representatives of one of the largest dairy produce firms in Tooley Street, London: "It is rather peculiar that here, whilst we have a strike and all the big stores are pushing British goods, particularly for one week, and in the face of the Government issuing an emergency order, the two combinations that tried to force prices during the country's trouble were (a well-known New Zealand brand is named here) and the Australian Overseas Federation. However, an order was soon issued that prices must not be raised, and we presume that, where they had charged more, they had to reduce their invoice price or send a credit note. But this sort of thing does not do New Zealand or Australian produce any good."
