Mr Reynolds, who Wiis hn:irtily welcomed by UiiWiirß.Hiiiit, aiitwunuod that in vimv i>[ hist .success in establishing thn tliin'.-ibHiinosH in Kiiglund,iiml tliu improved liKispoct (if tlm ex|i(irt butler trado, they h-d decided to rani: tho jirico 'if milk donng tho incoming sea-um. Tin* would now be '-'■■'d pur gallon for 10 por cent milk, and tliu full |i.!rcont.ißo ull.,wod for all milk above that ntsindard. Thin (incn to cover :i period of ninti mouths from September Ist. !•'.,« tho remaining three tuMiths .Id per L'lllon will bo given, but Mr Reynolds added th.it tho firm wore not anxious to oncouragu the winter trade. The managing dn-HClor fiirthm-stated, that they hud been put to grout exputno in pushing the business, and had to proceed cautiously, but thuy had never forgotten that the, interests o' the supplien; worn identical with their own, mid looked forward to increasing the price still more. Mr Reynolds urged suppliers to bo very careful as to the quality of the milk sent in, so inunh depending upon it. The suppliers unanimously pissed a rosrlution accepting tho prices offered, and thanking Messrs Reynolds and (Jo. for the energy and liberality shown by them. In roply to a question Mr Reynolds stated that no alteration could bo made at present, in the mode of testing tho milk. An improved method could be adopted if 8 unples of milk wore sent to a central place to be treated ; but this, he was sure, would never be satisfactory to the suppliers, and to have a travelling export, going from factory to factory, would involve more expense than they felt disposed to sanction. With respect to opening the factory, September aist waa fixed upon, Ngaruawhia opening on that day. The cream carting is also to bo altered slightly, alternative tenders being invited from those willing to take the cream oither to Franktun or Ngarnawhia. This it is believed will prove less expensive to tho firm, and also allow the factory manager more time to attend to his establishment.
