N.Z. BUTTER IN AMERICA.
BETTER INSPECTION NECESSARY. {United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received April 14, 1.5 a.m.) SYDNEY, April 13. The “Telegraph’s” San Francisco correspondent says: “The flooding of the markets of-the Pacific Coast with New,Zealand butter has had a disastrous effect on sales of American produce, and prices have fallen to a record of 22 cents a -pound wholesale for the best creamery butter. Violent criticism is made respecting certain consignments of New Zealand butter. A Seattle firm states that if New Zealand expects to do a considerable amount of butter business she must make radical changes in the matter of inspecting. AVhen butter is bought under the New Zealand Government certificate as being srictlv firsts, and Is found to be seconds or thirds, it naturally causes firms to buy sparingly. The remedy lies in having an expert to follow up the inspectors and examine the butter before exportation. He instances that he found where the butter had been held thirty days after the Government stamped it. It should be exported while fresh.
