AUSTRALIAN BUTTER GRADING.

Importers’ Opinions* Press Association —Copyright. London, May 1. Sir W. Lyue visited Tooley Street, inspected the lauding of butter and interviewed several importers respecting grading. They stated they had no objection to grading, which was of educational value for factories but they were dissatisfied with the way gradiug was at present performed. ‘One importer said more aud better graders ought to bo employed aud some sent to Euglaud iu order to loaru the requirements of the trade. , ~ Sir W. Lyue explained • that the system had ouly recently beeu initiated iu the Commonwealth aud that lie was trying to introduce it with the minimum of friction. His aim was to have the most efficient grading by competent graders, but it was difficult to distribute the best men all over Australia. He thought no one would deny that grading enhanced the value of New Zealand butters and lie anticipated similar results.
