SELLING CHEESE BY AUCTION
In Victoria they recently held a tobacco sale on the same lines as a wool sale but the initial at.' tempt was not a pronounced success owing to some of- the lead_ ing growers withholding their crops from the sale. Could our cheese not be sold in this way? "Vested interests" might object but it, would help to do away with the gamble in the present system of selling. It is all sold on Government grading so that buyers know exactly what they are buying. Sellers on the other hand would know that under public competition they were getting full market value whereas in the present haphazard system we have sales made for the output of one factory at a price and on the same or following day an adjoining factory sells at a farthing above this, simply because the directors were willing and game enough to take the risk of a rise or fall in the market. A monthly or bi-monthly sale of cheese by auction is worth considering.
