TOO LEY STREET’S VIEWS’. LONDON, April 7. The Tooley Street interests, although not i lesi rint' to- comment, regret Mr Paterson’s resignation from the New Zealand Dairy Control Hoard, as' they regarded him as the ablest member of the New Zealand Agency. Meanwhile, however, the New Zealand butter position is gradually improving. _ “ if the New Zealanders are wise. , said one authority, “they will seek to recover the trade’s good will here by co-operation with the trade. Denmark sells its weekly supplies as they are received. If New Zealand began winter dairying, and maintained its supplies all the year round, and if it sold all its produce freshly on its arrival in Britain, the New Zealand prices should equal those of the Danish produce.” WELLINGTON, April f>. At a meeting of the anti-control dairy producers this afternoon, it was decided to nominate James Hine, of TiKbrangi. as a candidate for No. 4 Ward for the Control Board election. The meeting was convened by the Free Marketing Board.
