AUSTRALIAN TRADERS
SHORT WEIGHT ALLEGED OFFICIAL REPLY. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright, MELBOURNE, January 13. Commenting on Mr Roland Green s statement regarding short-weight butter in the East, Mr P. J- Carroll, Commonwealth supervisor of dairy exports, said: ‘‘lt is a ridiculous statement —utterly absurd. Butter is shipped to the East in 12oz, 240 z, and 60oz tins, the amounts being fixed by the wealth regulations for the express purpose of permitting the Australian exporter to compete successfully with the Dutch and Danish markets. Regulations make it compulsory that the net weight be stamped on the tins.”
