BUTTER MARKETING.

Joint Action by Australia and New Zealand. OVERSEA SUPPLIES. SYDNEY, October 8. Representatives of the Australian and New Zealand Dairy Boards to-day reached an agreement regarding regular shipments from Australia and New Zealand to the oversea markets. An effort will be made this season to prevent the fluctuations which have occurred in the past to the detriment of the butter industry. Dr. Earle Page, Federal Minister of Commerce, in addressing the delegates, emphasised the value of co-operation in view of the fact that the flush season in both countries is identical, necessitating care to prevent surpluses of butter going on the oversea market at the same time. He pointed out that the market in England was stabilised and economic nationalism was shutting them out of markets elsewhere.

It was, therefore, essential to present a common front in the matter of restrictions, and if these were imposed they should be against foreigners.

The chairman, Mr. T. l'\ Plunkett, announced at the close of the conference that there is likely to be closer co-opera-tion between the two boards, which had agreed upon several questions. Others remained over for consideration by the Governments concerned. A decision had been readied to regulate shipments of dairy produce which would mean holdill',' back some butter during the flush season to be sent forward later. This would ensure a continuity of supply.
