Butter-box Orders Being Delayed.

Press Associa tion —Copyright Wellington, June 12. The Minister of Finance, the Hon. W. Nash, stated to-day that delay on the part of butter manufacturing concerns in ordering their supplies of butter boxes for the new season’s output was causing apprehension among sawmillers and boxmakers. Assurances had been given the Government by the Sawmillers’ Federation and the Boxmakers’ Association that, if factories would order without delay, adequate supplies of boxes could be guaranteed. He gave an assurance that all prices would be subject to adjustment when a departmental report was received.
