Commenting on the state of the dairying industry and the satisfactoryprices ruling in the Home markets for New Zealand produce, the Hawera “Star” remarks. “Notwithstanding good prices there appears to be a certain amount of depression in Taranaki. It seems that dry weather curtailed the milk supply, and the milk cheques were in consequence small as compared with a year ago. Dairymen were in a measure compelled to limit thoir expenditure, and this lias been lolt throughout the district.” It is calculated that about 00,000 sacks of barley will have left the Marlborough district at the close of the present season, representing a value of about £54,000.
