♦ [Per Press Association] Wellington, November 13. Mr Sawyers, the Government dairy expert, has returned from a visit of inspection to the southern factories, and reports them all in full work with most of their produce for the season already sold at prices ranging from 9£d to 9Jd fob for butter, and 4\d to 4idfobfor cheeee, all for England. Prices are very I satisfactory as they are higher than last year, and tending to rule higher still, while producers are receiving the benefit of l-16th of a penny reduction in freight. Two well-known butter buyers are expected in the colony immediately. Mr McKieven, principal of the English firm ofCoey and Co., which expended some LBI.OOO in New Zealand butter last year, and Mr Gerritsen, of the well-known firm ofOtzesandGerritsen, are both on their way over, and expected to take a large share of the New Zealand output this season. There are 162 dairy factories at work in the colony as against 104 last
