A mcotiag of tho Council of the Chamber of Commerce was held on Friday afternoon. Mr Ambury, who presided, explained he had boon desired to convene the meeting in order to consider the important matter of the adulteration of N.Z. butter in Holland. Mr Newton King, after reading an extract from a newspaper stating the Dutchmen were buying up butter on the English market and sending it to Hollared, where it was adulterated by some secret process and increased in weight by 30 per cent., told ihe meeting that while on a recent visit to Wellington the Dutch Consul interviewed him with reference to tho possibilities of purchasing the whole output in this district for the Dutch markets. The President, Messrs King, and Connett were appointed a committee to wait on Sir Joseph Ward to bring under -his notice certain information leading to the supposition that largo quantities of New Zealand better aw being adulterated in Holland and soM in London, and that ihe President of the National Dairy Association be supplied with tho information in hand and he be invited to mcot tlie deputation. It was sug- I ._>#-• l'*d by Mr Connetii iKat an opportunity should be taken of the occasion of the, interview with Sir Joseph to mention the excessive railway charges on general goods, and in handling butter specially consigtiod for shipment from the freezing works to the wharf. The between town and conntrv railway charges will also be urged on the Minister for redress.
