A gentleman connected with many cheese factories in tlie Wairarapa states that tlic lifting of the Imperial commandeer on cheese will certainly be responsible for a rise in the prfce of butterfat next season. Although manufacturers will be given an open market, the retail price in Great Britain has been ftxed not to exceed Is 8d per lb., which will mean that tlie cheese factories will receive approximately Is Id per lb in lieu of 10$ d. What can be exported to outside countries depends entirely on the shipping facilities. He predicts that local retailers will have to pay more for their cheese, though he does not think the price to the consumers will be increased. At present the retailers pay 10y„d per lb and pass it over to their customers at Is 3d. This profit he thinks stand » fair reduction*.
