Dealing with the question of cheese
imported into Scotland, James
Finndland, inspector at Glasgow, re
ports:—' There is still. tt dcpreee-
ing feature of the Canadian 'cheese
trade, in respeet that the accuracy
of marked weights cannot be relied
on, and importers find it essential,
to test thoroughly' the weights 0/
° each shipment for shortage, pare=
cula.rly during the summer months.
It is a serious matter to importers,
who have contracted to take a foto-.
tory's weekly output, to find than
cheese arrive showing from one-half,
to two and three pounds short
weight per box, not to speak of odd
boxes turning ftp five to ten pounds
lighter than the marked weight,
which, viewed in the most favor-
able light, can orzly bo considered
gross carelessness. Importations
into Glasgow of Canadian; cheese
last year fell off 35,000 boxes. It
is attributable to a heavier output
of Scotch cheese, and also to the
