SHORTAGE OF MILK.
AUCKLAND, May 29. The acute position which prevailed some few weeks ago in reference to the-, shortage of milk supplies has been accentuated by cold weather setting in quickly after thedrought and completely checking the growth of grass, with the result that there has been a further serious decrease in the quantity of milk available. Already condensed milk has been substituted for cow's milk in several of the restaurants in the city, while as much as 6d per glass has been charged for it. Milk vendors axe now seriously considering the advisability of instituting a system of rationing. This, they believe, is certain to come if something in the way of rigid economy is not practised by householders.
