N.Z. BUTTER
COMPETITION IN AUSTRALIA.
STRONG OBJECTION RAISED.
At a meeting of the Australian Butter Stabilisation Committee, a very I serious view was taken of the importa|tion into Australia of New Zealand butter, and the fact that large quantities had been purchased for forward delivery up to March and April next. It was stated that the output of butter over the main producing States was sufficient this season to meet all requirements in Australia, consequently the substantial purchases made from New Zealand are considered a menace to industry.
Because of the definite probability of increasing competition from this source the committee recommends all the States to fix local values on such a basis that encouragement will not be provided for flooding the market with these imported goods.
The committee is desirous of arousing the interest of all factories in this question, with a view to each doing all in its power to discountenance profitable trading in New Zealand butter by distributors, wholesale or retail.
