Practically all dairy factories in Southland have advanced their suppliers 9d per lb on the butter fat delivered in December, and with tbe shipments that have been got away this mouth it. was anticipated (says the “ News ”) that it would be possible that full payments could be made for the January butter fat. The acting secretary of the meeting of dairy factory, chairmen of directors and secretaries held last month has now been advised that factories will probably have to submit their January pay sheets to their bankers first before paying out, as instructions to local branches of tho banks provide that permission to make further payments will have to be sanctioned by the head offices first.
