REYNOLDS AND GO'S BUTTER.

VVk were lutely permitted to read and copy portions of a letter received by one of the business people in Hamilton from a rolative in London. Wβ publish the extract below and it cert'iiuly rf.flocts creditnpon Mr Reynolds, that his visit to England has so soon brought Now Zealand butter into such notoriety that it has come under tho notice of the head of a privatn tamily residing in the neighbourhood of London. Tho writer who had on!y returned from a visit to America a few days previously to writing ~ays : —"I think the reception tn your townsman, Mr Henry Reynold-*, a woli got up affair. He has established a depot in London, that is tho correct thin?; do not auk any favours, come out with good cheap stuff and you are on them with both feet and hands. Tlnn pet the doctors to certify your stuff is Rood, and away goes your produce as fast as you like to send it.

• • • Mr Reynolds says he had great trouble to get retailers to look at New Zealand produce. No doubt; he should do the same as our butchers—buy American bullocks at Liverpool, kill thorn and sell them in our meat market a.s best Scotch ; this is a fact, but you must know the American bullock is quite equal to our bj.-it. I could tell Mr Reynolds that it is no use sending inferior stiitF to London. Take butter; Messrs Hudson, Bros., of Ludgate Hill, and 20 other .shops have established a largo trade in Brittany. Butter, and splendid butter it is.; we never have any othf-i\ He must sell 500 tons a month, the price is Is 2d in summer and Is 4d in winter per pound, and it is splendid stuff. Now, Now Zealand mutton is 7d pound in London, but you must take a quarter of n sheep or you cannot get it for that. Now you sell fat wethers IBs to ISs; linw the devil is this price run up to us ? Wo cm take a3 much produce as New Zealand can send.' 1
