THE BUTTER INDUSTRY STABILISATION PROPOSALS EXPORT QUOTA SUGGESTED. (By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.! (Received 24, 10.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, May 24. Dairying interests in Australia have under consideration a new plan for the stabilisation of the butter industry within the Commonwealth on the basis of Australian economic conditions, providing for an export quota controlled by a stabilisation committee composed of representatives from each State. Factories will continue to sell through their agents and there is no need for the Paterson levy. Any factory which has kept within its quota on the local market would pay nothing, but a factory which was over sold locally would pay to the stabilisation committee the difference between the local price and the London price for the percentage over-sold. From the fund thus created factories exporting more than their quota would be paid or equalised. Mr. J. R. King, general manager of the Producers’ Co-operative Distributing Society, addressing dairy factory managers and secretaries on the subject of overseas conditions, said he felt convinced that if all the butter from New Zealand and Australia had been sent forward on a consignment basis to fewer sellers the disastrously low levels ruling lately would have been avoided, while, with the factories in Australia competing with one another to sell f.0.r., there was some excuse for London sellers not taking concerted action to rectify the position.
