VARIOUS CABLES.

COLONIAL BUTTER. Received September 1, 4.3 p.m. LONDON, August 31. Messrj W. Weddell and Co., in their annual review of produce and trade, insist on the necessity for the compulsory grading of Australian butter, such as had given New Zealand producers the choice of selling forward or consigning. Messrs Wec:del and Co. suggest that New Zealand should increase the marks awarded for flavour to 70, and that the marks for texture, colour and getup should be reduced to 20, since a portion of the first grade butter is really second-grade, owing to faulty flavour. Messrs Weddel and Co. further state that there is every indication that large supplies of butter will be available for the coming winter, but trade is so prosperous that the consumption of butter is eertain to be well maintained. Considerably lower prices are expected for butter and cheese than was obtained this year. AN INDIAN GRIEVANCE. LONDON, August 30. Indians in the Transvaal have petitioned King Edward to disallow the Indian Immigration Bill, which permits the deportation of passive resisters. They ask the Imperial Exchequer to compensate the deported if disallowance of the Bill is impossible.
