Australian Dairymen Lose Heavily by Bad System of Marketing
MULTIPLICITY OF SELLERS PRICES SHOULD'HAVE BEEN HELD AT UQ/-.\ Received Sunday, 7.0 p.m. J LONDON, April 26. j "There is no foundation for pessimistic views regarding the future of Australian dairying," said Mr. Mcars, director of Empire Dairies, when interviewed. ''The main factors responsible for the lower range of values this season are an exceptionally mild winter in Britain and on the Continent." J He considers there is no justification! for the recent collapse of prices. This is largely due to a multiplicity of sellers. If sales had been confined to six or eight sound firms, values could have been held at 140/-. Immediately after his arrival, he withdrew a large quantity of butter from the 120/- market. This had a due influence on buying, which was now brisk at: Australian, 135/-; New Zealand, 138/-. He estimated dairy farmers in Australia had lost this season at least £IOO,OOO. through lack of concentrated selling.
