BUTTER FOR AUSTRALIA
“HOME-MADE” AVAILABLE IMPORTS FROM NEW ZEALAND “UNNEEDED AND PREJUDICIAL.” By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Melbourne, Dec. 11. Members of the Dairy Produce Control Board and Stabilisation Committee view with concern the probability of the further importation into Australia of New Zealand butter. It has been learned that merchants and speculators in Sydney are making purchases of New Zealand butter for immediate and forward delivery. It is stated that while drought conditions prevail in Queensland and parts of New South Wales aud Victoria, production is practically normal and there is a total surplus in Australia of more than 40,000 boxes weekly’. This is mainly Victorian and will be available for the other States. Importing from New Zealand will have the effect of disorganising the Australian market and reducing the price to dairy farmers. The stabilisation committee has decided to call a meeting of wholesale distributors in Sydney and Brisbane with the object of pointing out to them that there is sufficient butter in Australia to meet the requirements of the Commonwealth. A meeting of Melbourne distributors resolved that the importation of New Zealand butter was unnecessary ana prejudicial to the interests of producers in Australia.
