Roro Hakaraia, came before the Court of Appeal this morning. The claim was for ;£fioo, the balance of the price (£1000) agreed upon as the price for the erection of a monument to the memory of the late Major Kemp, at Wanganui.

Mr Wesley Spragg, managing director of the New Zealand Dairy Association at Auckland, who returned by the Ruahine from London to-day, stated in an interview with a Post representative that new business regarding the export of dairy produce of a large and promising nature is opening up in America, although for the immediate present it has been slight, ly checked again. At Washington he interviewed iJr. Atesburg, the chief officer entrusted with the carrying out of the Pure-food regulations; and asked that the certificate of the New Zealand Government Dairy Department should be accepted by the American authorities, as proof of the freedom of New Zealand butter, from adulteration or preservatives. Ho left Washington with the conviction that the heads of the Departs ment were favourable to such an arrangement. In the case of New Zealand butter in England the dairy market for the season opened up very well and at. good prices. The trouble caused by the industrial trouble in New Zealand at the end of last year disrupted everything and the market got demoralised and has never recovered. Incidentally, Mr Spragg said, it is estimated as a result of the strike, through the subsequent market becoming congested and produce vessels reaching England irregularly, that the dairying population of New Zealand has lost at least £120,000.
