BUTTER PRICES
TO TBB IDITO* OT THE PBBBS. Sir.—The announcement by the chairman of directors of the Tai Tapu Dairy Company that his company is going to force the local market for butter back to London parity and keep it there, subject to fluctuations, lets the cat out of the bag. It is surely time the dairy farmers in Canterbury took a hand in this insane policy of allowing one company to dictate the price of butter on the local market. — Yours, etc., COWSPANKER. October 2, 1934. [The managing director of the Tai Tapu Dairy Company (Mr C. P. Agar), to whom this letter was referred, said that with the exception of one company, which did not export butter, all factories in Christchurch had agreed to reduce the price on the local market to bring it in line with export parity.'!
