MARKETING SQUABBLE.
GROWERS V. AUCTIONEERS (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, April 30. A dispute has arisen between growers of vegetables and auctioneers in connection with the alterations in the auctioneers’ charges and the disposal of sacks and boxes. It is stated that auctioneers want to sell containers with produce, not allowing the growers anything. The growers threatened to send in their produce loose, and auctioneers decided to increase their commission on loose produce from 10 to 12$ per cent. The producers will meet to-night to discuss the matter. A suggestion has been made that the markets should be boycotted.
