MR. WILFORD'S INQUIRIES.
On his return from a tour of Great Britain to-day, -Mr. T. M. AVilford, ashed whether he had anything to say in reference to the butter control, said: — "I have talked the matter over .with prominent men in London, and the general answer which I have been given, with a smile, is summed up iv the expression that we have bitten off more than we can chew. One man who is not unknown hi financial circles in the city said to me that the consumer in England is wondering what we mean by talking preference to Great Britain for their goods and at the same time are combining for the purpose of making them pay a high price for our butter. I replied that our farmers only wanted a fair price for their produce, and that any united combination among farmers in a country (which by the way I thought was impossible) was entered into for the purpose of fair marketing, not for exploitation."
