COOL STORAGE SPACE.

PREPARATIONS FOR NEXT SEASON. It is stated that tho draughtsmen are now engaged on the plans for tho new cool storage shed which is to be erected at the port, and it is expected that the building will be ready by tho beginning of tho next cheese season, which will beabout October or November. Indications point to a big increase in the cheese output next year, and it will be a great advantage, when the cheese cannot bo placed direct into the ship's hold, to be ablo to land the product in a cool store instead of in the present sheds, which aro quite- unsuitable, principally becauso tho product cannot be handled ami sorted properly, and because the temporaturo cannot bs controlled. The Eltliam factory will be one of tho concerns which will increase the cheese returns. They have been making 800 to 000 tons of butter, and for every ton of butter they will no doubt next season turn out two tons or more of cheese, or, say, 2000 tons. Then there is Jlangatoki, which turns out 500 to GOO tons of butter. They will double this quantity when they turn out their cheese. These are two instances of where the expected increase in the cheese make will come from. As bearing on the cheese industry, the following remarks made by tho Canadian Dairy Commissioner (Mr. J. A. Ruddick) during a recent address at the annual convention of the Eastern Ontario Dairy Association arc of interest, ilr. Ruddick said that the point ho wished to emphasise was that when the quantity of New Zealand cheese becomes large enough to supply the consumptive demand during the time it comes 011 the market, say from November to Juno. Canadian cheese will have to be consumed very largely durins the period in which it is produced. The effect of this, he said, was already felt to a limited extent. Canadian cheese was needed more than ever for immediate consumption, and that being so, the chewo must to well cured before being placed on the market. Mr. Ruddick quoted a lending importer's comment on the folly of shipping green cheese from Canada to compete with tho matured New Zealand article The solo cpusp of difference in the price of New Zealand and Canadian cheese during July, August, and Reptomber, is, according to tho importer, the immaturity of the Canadian article. "T cannot conceive of n more suicidal policy," continues Mr. Ruddick, "than to continue to sliip these" greon, immature cheep", which give so much dissatisfaction." Tn the course of another address Mr. "Rmtdiclc Temnrkc<l that it was from New Zealand and Australia only that Canada couljl expect to nippr increasing competition in the future. Ho showed that, from 1901-1010 tho imnorts of Canadian cheese into the t'nitod Kingdom decreased by 18,6-15 tons, and the imports from New Zealand increased by 18,5-10 tons.
