HIGH VALUE OF CHEESE.
SHIPPING DIFFICULTIES. ARREARS TOTAL 50,000 CRATES. Auckland, Monday. A' serious position is threatening in tile cheese industry owing to. the inability of the shipping companies to provide space for its carriage to England. The latest London quotation is iover 100s per cwt. , „. "The Dominion should be reaping considerable advantage from these high prices," the representative of a dairying firm remarked yesterday, "but tlie advantage is greatly imperilled by the inability to get the goods to market. It is reliably estimated that the shipments of cheese are over 50,000 crates in arrears, and the delay in shipment may cost the producers many thousands of pounds. At present values this accumulation is worth about £300,000." A letter addressed by a Southern firm to an Auckland company indicates that if ships are not available the factories may have to discontinue the manufacture of cheese and turn their attention for a time to the production of butter. As many of the cheese factories liave dual plants, the change could be made without serious inconvenience, but it would be disappointing to have to. reduce the production of cheese in face of the present marketing prospects.
