VARIOUS CABLES.
GRADING OF BUTTER. Received May 2, 7.50 a.m. LONDON, May 1. Sir Wm. Lyne. Commonwealth Minister for Trade and Customs, inspected the landing of butter, and interviewed several importers respecting the grading of butter. They stated that there was no objection to grading, which was of educational value for the factories, but they were dissatisfied with the way the grading was at present performed. One importer urged that more and better grading ought to be employed, and that some ought to be sent to England in order to learn the requirements of the trade. Sir Wm. Lyne explained that the system was only recently initiated in the Commonwealth. He was trying to introduce it with a minimum of friction.
