DAIRY MARKETING.

LONDON FIRMS’ AGENTS. EFFECTS OF STATE CONTROL. NEW PLYMOUTH, July 12. T\' New Zealand agents of Tooley Street dairy produce firms will not disappear w\en the New Zealand Government’s marketing control begins on August 1. It is understood that although firms’ staffs may be reduced in number, at least skeleton staffs will remain, so that the firms will have an efficient organisation in the Dominion to resume buying should the new marketing scheme not prove a success. Salaries of some members of the staffs also may be reduced, but the best men may be retained at substantially the same salaries, because many of the firms have interests apart from dairy produce which will require attention by the agents. Tooley Street firms also desire to maintain close contact with the industry, so that should marketing revert to the old system they will be in a position immediately to resume the original business. Exceptional activity is evident in dairy produce in Taranaki at present Firms are buying on a largo scale at an advanced price in an endeavour to secure as much produce as possible before the new marketing regulations take effect.
