Hames, secretary' of Amah gamated Dairies, Limited, in a lunoheof address to the Creditmen’s Club tod i* Excessive competition among the sell* ingr agents was chiefly responsible fcf the resduced prices obtaining for butt< in the United Kingdom today, M:. Hames said. Mr. Hames said that the United Kingdom was the largest market io: New Zealand dairy produce and in 1928-29, of 2,977,000 boxes ot butte: sent abroad, two and a-half million boxes went to the United Kingdom Of two and three-quarter million crates of cheese exported, the Unit*. Kingdom took two and a-quarter million crates. It was intended, Jlr. Hames said, to increase and extari alternative markets, one of the mo?; important of which is Canada. Sin,'?
