LOCAL BUTTER 'MARKET.

(To the Editor.) Sir—The replies to my tetter In your issue of last Saturday, forwarded by Messrs Hills and Young, and by Captain Colbeck, have been read by me with interest. To Mr Hills I express my thanks. To Mr Yo-ung I can only say that I •could not debate the question of currency with him, because our views are too much In accord. I am quite convinced that currency reform Is the most vital issue to be faced to-day. My proposal fo? the local butter market is not put forward with the object of getting the farmer out <of his present difficulties, but merely to eliminate senseless price-cutting among dairy companies. To Captain Colbeck I wish to say that, since the publication of my letter (probably as a result of it) I have received an invitation from the Auok--1 1 ‘F.'TOAIItJVA Of t.hft Faf-

land Provincial bxecuwve oi me rcumens’ Union to meet them in March, •when I hope to have the pleasure of •convincing him that this proposal does not advocate the “ artificial ” raising of the price on the local market. I am merely trying to -get for the farmer something to which he is justly entitled—a fresh butter parity, and not a frozen butter parity, for the fresh butter he sells in New Zealand.—l am, L L- ’ A.
