REGULARITY OF SHIPMENT. WELLINGTON, April 17. The National Dairy Association has received from the 'New Zealand Shipping Company and; Slmw, Savill, and -Albion Company the 'follo'vnng .offer of service for the next. season's dairy produce, both butler and cheese — namely-, the -service to be fortnight ly despatches and deliveries in London, and the contract to be en the basis of the lettei recently publi&hed. 1. The steamship companies are prepared to pay coastal freight to Wellington from any grading port in the North Island provided thai the freight does not exceed 10s per ton. 2. It is tlie intention of the companies to endeavour to carry out the contract by steamers as nearly as possible of equal speed, so that in addition to despatches from the colony being regular there might be approximately the same regularity in arrivals in London. 3. The companies are willing to arrange for the despatch of steamers to arrive in London as near as possible on Thursday, 30th November next, and thereafter to commence fortnightly departures for the fulfilment of the contract. 4. The contract is to be for season ending on 30th June, 1900, and is to include the whole of the dairy produce intended for the English market, so far as the same is controlled by the National Dairy Association.
5. Freights to remain as at present, and as named in the association's letter.
The companies are prepared to leave the offer of this service open for three weeks as requested, in tlie_ hope that that may be sufficient time to "enable the association to secure the support of all factories in the North Island. The- New Zealand Shipping Company reserves the right of making Lyttelton, in exceptional cases, a final port of call, and both companies decline to be penalised for unavoidable lapses from the terms of the contract.
The secretary of the association will at once issue a circular to all registered fac-
tories asking for the support of this contract, which he regards as the best ever offered to the North Island.
