New Zealand, Mr G. Bonnor says in reference to the Greytowu factory :—No fault can be found with the manager, The oheese waa sound and possessed of good keeping properties, and will take a rer spectable position either in the colonial or London market. The quautiiity Bent to London realised (i6s per ewfc., a little over 7d per lb. If I am correctly informed, the farmers make no conditions, saving the price of millk, They are at perfect liberty to supply the factory whoti milk is plentiful and butter cheap; hut whon butter rises in value and milk is richer in quality, they politely withdraw their patronage, aud the factory is closed ten weeks earlier than it ought to be. In the flush of the pasture the milk, is tip, and will nut make mucli more than 14oz of cheese to the 101b of milk ; in March aud April you may safely calculate upon from 17oz to 18oz of cheese from 101b of milk; so it will he seen that the milk is wortli considerable more at the close of the season than it is at the beginning. Tho whey of some factories has returned the company over £l6O, but the Greylown factory made the farmors a present of this valuable commodity. The Carterton factory is thus referred to:—Carterton Dairy Factory has been in operation during the the former part of last grass season, but closed its operations, like tho Greylown factory, ten weeks earlier than it ou»ht to have done. To engage expensive labor aud have little to do for the manager for part of his time, is only the road to ruin. Tho quality of the cheese now on hand, valued at £62, is mild and of a pleasant flavor, and would be clussod with the double Gloucester in London. The factory is conveniently situated in a fine district for keeping cows; any amount of milk can be prooured, and, with proper management, a splendid Cheddar cheese may be made, worth in London from M up to 174 per ton. A caucus of Ministerial supporters was help yesterday, about 47 members being at ona lime present.

The resolution in conference to the purchase of the distriot railways was also considered. The discussion lasted a long time, and it seemed for a while that no definite conclusion would be arrived at. There was a remarkable absence of unanimity, but it was evident that the Government still desired to be put in a position to negotiate with the companies during recess. A resolution to support the Colonial Treasurer's motion was finally carried, but 16 out of the 42 present voted against it. Many believe that the motion will either be greatly modified or abandoned.
