THE POSITION IN ENGLAND. The matter of the sale of imported bntter in England for what it is not, which has had a good deal of prominence lately, owing to the references to the extensive blending of colonial butter shipped _to London, wna tho subject of a question in tho House of Commons just before tho last mail left. The President of the Local Government Board was asked whether, in view of tho fact tl»t butter imported into the Kingdom from foreign countries was offered for sale as British butter, he would consider the desirability of introducing legislation requiring every person dealing in such butter to attach to each parcel exposed for sale a label, indicating that it was of foieign manufacture. Mr. Runciman (President Board of Agriculture) answered that he should be glad to inquire into any specific case in. which there was any reason to suppose that the description "British" had been falsely applied to .imported butter, with a viow to proceedings under tho Merchandise Marks Act.
