THE PRICE OF BUTTER. A DEDUCTION promising. . • -''There .ivill bo no reduction in the price this week, but I .would not be surprised . .to .see a drop next week," -remarked a well-known butter .merchant, when ■ disv cussing the pr.ico -of butter locally, yes|S> terday. According to the merchant in >• question, supplies arc not coming to hand, in anything liko the quantities, that wcro _ '.'intic.vi>altcd,,.and, it is-a difficult matter to meet, the..demand. In fact, it,cannot be fully .met -just now., Ariat-lioiwiierehant expressed the opinion that there < would be'a'drop in., the 'present. .prico ruling oil .the local market about the end ;of 'tho month. Supplies were increasing slowly, but there was a lot-of leeway .to mako up • yet,. stocks having got down to a lower ebb than he hod ever seen in a long experience in ( tho trade.

S. IS DOCKING CRUELTY?

ENGLISH TEST CASE. Sjtne consternation was caused among horse owners in Kiiyland last' month by •the' Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals obtaining in a. tost a case a conviction against an owner for allowing the tails of two of Us horses to be doeke.L The practice of docking is almost universal in. parts of tlio ['nited Kingdom, and of all the horses in London it i» estimated that not mere'than 2-per cent, escipc the operation. The judgment aroused the indignation of r.anv horse owners. Ths best case put forward for docking was that-It ms safer for driving : horses, be.aiisc of (lie danger of getting the reius unckr the horse's tail. Colonial experience shows how little there is in this . Tlicra is .little doubt tliat the practice is chiefly duo to the fact that it ad's smartness to the appearance of the horse, and is fashionable. Docking has Veil adopted nho in the Army. The E.S.F.C.I explains ;ts attitude thus:— .'fWc. have been strongly opposed for the last 10 or. 15 years to the practice of doclco ing: horses merely to make lliem look •smarter, but we have' always .been c#refill not to outpace public opinin'u. Now ..we feel that public opinion is with lis on the subject, and wo hope that v.-e shall be able .to hasten the approach of the time when docking will only bs resorted to in eases of necessity, sucli ns when tho j .tail'is;injured or diseased, ov possibly in tho cas'j of horses employed in tipe.irts, where there would be likelihood of the ;tnil being crushed during the tipping of the cart-body. Of course,, we have heard of all the dangers which the devotees of docking, predict will occur 'with long- . tailed horses, but. wo do not iliink the dangers are sufficiently pressing or real to justify a>. cruel and unnecessary an operation." APITI DAIRY COMPANY. . . ANNUAL .MEETING. The sixteenth annual report and bal-ance-shect of the Apiti Dairy Companv, says our Peilding correspondent, was held on August -■), Mr. Hugh Osborne presiding. The milk-. supplied to tho fac-torv-was -1.35i,5121b. and cream 125,6771b., w;hich produced 2U5,-J33.-161b. of bntter-fat, from which was manufactured 243.7631b. of " butter. The average price paid to j suppliers for buttbr-fat was 10d: per lb. • Tho average milk test' was 3.69 and tho average cream test 35.80. Tho retiring directors, Messrs. Osborne, M'Millaii, Bolfe, and O'Hngan, were reappointed. Mr. R. Pratt licis resigned his position as : secretary, and llr. W- ■ M'Kcnzie has been elected in his place. The services of Mr. Allwood have been retained for ■ tho ensuing season as manager. 1 The not profit on the season's work was ! ,£33 10s. lOd. 'The debentures held by J. i .B. M'Bwan and Co., amounting to .£3OOB, havo been released and instead an over- 1 draft has been negotiated with the Bank of New Zealand, with a limit of ,£3500, ( reducible each year by tho -Jd. per lb. 1 deducted from suppliers. This season 1 ■£21-1 Bs. 4d. has been paid .off, which '■ leaves tho company an overdraft limit ! of £3255 lis. Bd. • . ■ < Prom the above figures it can be seen that the company is making sure and steady, progress. THE BUTTER TRADE. j . -i ENGLISH MARKETING CONDITIONS. ;? 1 Commenting oil English marketing con- ? ditions for the past year, Mr. Wesley ,}. • Spragg, managing director of the New j Zealand Dairy Association, says'there is e a variety of/opinions -as .to what-caused 8 the disturbed and generally unfavourable ' markets. One fact had been very clear— - that an unusual difference had existed between the prices of New Zealand and Danish buttef. The difference in quality did not account for the disparity in prices. For, some time .past it had been .recognised that Danish .quality had been rather pdprer than .it used to be, and 1. even if New Zealand manufacture had ii not improved in. its relative value as '' compared with Danish it is at least as great' as it was. Tho -difference to the Dominion's disadvantage was estimated jj to have been 10s. per cwt. This, in his v opiuion, had not been in any . way war- C :raated, and how to get our New Zealand F dairy -produce marketed in London ■ oil J fair terms and. sold at its-full value was. -S a problem .still awaiting solution. Mr. Spragg .states that it has been tho idea v, of his directors' board for some time T past that lie ought'to visit England in W connection with this' marketing question. {, J and other matters some time-during the. present season. If no more pressing duties detain him this proposal will pro-, y, bably bo carried out. \\ CHEESE OUTPUT SOLD. '

Commenting on-the frilly.of. commencing tofcH'.yoiiog-.sheep too soon on'mangolds' a Mairarapa farmer snid scouring had been caused .by ■ the. mangolds,. and a number of his sheep had died in consequence. The export :of butter .ivill begin this inrath. . the flrst .vessel for the season being the Euapchu, which is to fail 0:1 September.,2l. The National Dairy-Asso-ciation. it is stated, has hooked space for IGOO or 1700 boxes. The next -boat will leave about October 5. .The Cow-testing Association in.Masterton .lias now been firmly established, says a local paper. It is estimated that betweeu 000 a.nd 3000 cows will bo available for-testing purposes this season. Tho Mastcrton Association and the South Wairarapa Associations will co-oporato in carrying out the work of testing. A general tendoncy to go in for mangolds iu place of turnips is being shown in Geraldino this year. This is due to the ravages amongst turnip crops last year. One farmer at Orari had five acres of mangolds, and he sold.the product of two acres and a, half for .£1(10 and the crop on tho remaining two acres and a half lias sufficed to keep his sheep --of which he lias about three hundred— and he says the mangolds.will continue to provide for their wants till the end of October. After selling .£IOO worth of maneolds he received an order for .£3O worth, but this order he passed on to a neighbour. A butter merchant who lias just returned to Wellington after a. visit to Taranaki states that rain is wanted throughout the province, as (lie dry weather is having an cfTcct on the dairying industry. Dairy farmers mnst bave strong serviconblo and easily-cleaned cans. Victor is the name of the can that suits every requirement, and it pays handsomely to use these cans and no others. Every lid will fit every can. Seud for a catalojuo ta Albert J..Parton, Carterton* «

NEWS AND NOTES.

A now efiort is bein? made to promote the uiiir3-ill.tr industry in tho Marlborough •sounds. A Wellington firm, it is reported, proposes to supplv milking cow> ■ta settlors in return lor tho butter obtained from them. Payment for the cow? Cvl 'i )e made in any way convenient (o spttirrA by cash, or by deduction from Ino monthly butter cheque over a period or years, without any interest. The linn will pay 9d. per ib. for butter from Bept£i ?F " le summer, and lOd. thence to September. A number of cows have already been booked, and will shortly-be shipped from "Wellington. Influenza has been prevalent' amongst horses in the Masterton district of late. A,"Forty-Mile Bush farmer has informed a representative of the "Wairarapa paiiy Times", that a number of settlers that district have lost valuable hoggets through-intestinal worms during tho past winter. The farmer in question lose eight ram hoggets valued at 32 guineas irom the above complaint. A ■ champion ' butter-fat competition., which .will give dairy farmers the'opportunity of finding out .the best class' of cow is to. be put into the spring show programme . of. the Manawntu. and WestCoast A. and 1\ Association. Entries closo on September 21. Several matters of importance to the dairying .industry are to be considered ?• 4 'inntial eouference of the Co-opera-ti\e Butter atid Cheese Factories' Association -which is to be opened in Melbourne | to-morrow. The subjects to bo discussed j include compulsory cream grading, and I a motion in connection with butter I sampling , and grading, as carried out by ! the officers of the .Agricultural Department, is to be brought, forward as fcllows:—"That tho conference recommend that in taking samples of butter for analysis, the officers of tho Department take three core? from each bos sampled, emulsify, and divide into three portions, one for the Government Aualyst. ono for the butter factory, and ono to be reserved for arbitration purposes.. That

- in the opinion of this, conforence Hie pre- : sent system of awarding Government . (.'Hides for exnort butter falls far short ; of lipins the fullest possible value-as in- - formation to producers, and is unjust • to the factories. We therefore request i that the system he amended, and a sepaI rate grade awarded for each churning (as > indicated by the churn marks on the I boxes). That the conference requests that > tho advice notes-of moisture analysis rei suit* of export bnt.ter be furnished punc- , tunlly. a-ad the clnirn mark of the box > from which the sample was taken stat-*il : on the advice note. That- the boric acid I results of analysis of export butter be ' furnished to the factories, and tho churn • marks on box from which the sample was ■ taken be stated on the advice liSte." The I question of the regulation of over-run also is to be dealt with. During the winter settlers in tho Masterton district have been vigorously carrying out trapping operations, and p. substantial decreaso in the number of rabbits is noticeable. One settler .stated that whereas two or three years ago he usually caught about eighty rabbits a day, he now only obtains six to nine pairs,- from one hundred traps. The farmers, he said, are -determined to not only keep tho rabbits under control, but to exterminate them altogether if possible, and -traps,. poisons, and natural enemies (v;e-aslcs, ferrets and cats) are being largely: nse'd in.the work. / HAWERA DAIRY FACTORY. The jjnnual meeting of the Hawora Dairy Factory was held on Saturday last, Mr. H. Spratt presiding. The chairman announced that the last shipment of cheese—;about fifty cases — had been valued at this end at GOs., but word had just been received that it realised 70s. Spratt. A. E. Death, A. Newell, and L. Kavanagh were elected directors. Buckeridgo, representing Lane and Company, addressed the gathering 011 the present stato of the market and the prospects for a tbo-season's output. Ho spoke strongly in favour of open consignment, and his forecast of the market was decidedly optimistic. LIVE STOCK SALES. , Messrs.

J A correspondent writing to the "Financial Times" states:—"Steamship compan- J ies engaged in.the. frozen meat trade from 1 Argentina, in connection with which im- "j partnnt developments have been in pro- ' gross -for several months, have had a sethack as a. result, of the decision of the * Austrian Minister for Agriculture to pro- ' hibit further supplies. In September last v it teas announced that imports would lit allowed duty free to the extent, of 10,CCD tons annually, and of that quantity nearly 5000 tons have already arrived. The withdrawal of tho privilege is understood to cover shipments actually 011 passage, and will also • affect shipments from New , Zealand and Australia,. In consequence 1 of the openine of Continental ports to the frco importation of meat, numerous orders for vessels with tho. requisite refrigeration accommodation wore placed this year, including tho building of six large steamers by the Royal Mail' Steam Packet Company and Messrs. Furness, Withy and Co., who combined for the purpose. The Portuguese Government has abolished tho tax of lOd. per. kilogramme 011 frozen meat, 3 while largo supplies for Italian consumption have arrived from tho-Argentine at Genoa. But if the decision of the Austrian authorities is allowed to stand it. will tend to check enterprise. Altogether there arc at present emraced in the carriage of frozen and chilled meat 220 steamers, while 30 vessels of the type are in course of construction." Customs duties collected at tho port of Wellington yesterday amounted to £3954 10s. 3d. TKADE IX ALLEN STItEET.
