IBy Telegraph,—Farllanmtary Reporter.)
I A, pe*simieti<? note regarding the egg ', export trade is sounded in the annual report of the Department, of Agriculture presented to Parliament to*day. 'A conference was arranged with repi'esentativee'. of the poultry Industry, of merchants, and of the Grocers* Association, at which a scheme for voluntary egg grading and improved marketing 'methods was elaborated. It is hoped that this may ehortly be brought into effect. The export of' eggs was continued wider a guarantee from the Government of a minimunv return to shippers, and with a limit of £10,000 liability on the Government, but export;.again proved unprofitable, and the call on the o-qarantee, which it wae at first hoped would only slightly exceed £4000, v now. appears likely to reach £5000. "The outlook for a paying export trade under present conditions is not go&d, and, whatever, course may:';tie.;.adopted: regarding a continuation.of it,'poultrymen -evidently need meanwhile' their best to get their voluntary;Jk>- : minion grading and marketing scheme established .on a solid footing. in, tjhe, anticipation that it will , prove valuable ae a.means of placing the industry ; iJpon a move-stable basis."
