' Mr Wesley Spragg, managing director of the New Zealand Dairying Association, Auckland, who returned by- the Ruahine' from London to-day, stated m an interview with a Post, representative that new business regarding the dairy export of a large and promising nature is opening in> m America, although for the.- immediate present it has? been slightly checked. AL Washington be interviewed Dr Alsburg, {he chief officer entrusted with the carrying out of the Pure Food Regulations, and asked that tho certificate of the New Zealand Government Dairy Department should be accepted by the American authorities as proof of the freedom of New Zealand butter from adulteration or preservative. He left Washington with the conviction that the heads of -the Department were favorable to such an arrangement. In the case of New .Zealand butter m England the dairy market for tho season opened up very wyll, and at good prices. Upsets; caused by industrial trouble m New Zealand at the end of last year disrupted everything. The market got demoralised and had never recovered. Incidentally .
