THE CHEESE INDUSTRY.

. WHAT LONDON REQUIRES. Writing imder date January 111, a London correspondent spuds, the .following to t'he_ Sydney "Herald" in reference to the cheese market:—Australian makers would do well,to"note.that.the;.most useful size, niul that which brings the'best price, is chfee' in Soll>.'' hoops. This size is in universal'demand lu'rc, whereas for cheese of 401l>. or less (ho demand is restricted; prices are seldom equal to ..those of the larger cheese. Although cheese prices havo fallen since the. Iwg'iiining of the season, .the prospects for; a steady' rise in the coming months are fairly good. Supplies'of Canadian ami 'British are diniin..islting • weekly; and" will 'continue downward until the new season's' clieese-niakiiig begin* in' May. The'only country at prekent providing us with freslily-mado cheese is New,.', Zealand, .with ; flie.;little taming from Australia. Reports from New Zealand speak rather doubtfully about tlw increase anticipated some'time ago. Arrivals, of New Zealand cheese •during February are slightly below those nf the.corresponding, month of 1912. New Zealand white cheese is firm at 615., mid coloured GOs.'dd. to' lils." ""A fair amount of New Zealand cheese, is "off"-in flavour, and is selling at COs. Gan'adiah is 02s. to fits., for. Ijotli. coloured inid.white. ; .; The Union of Siberian Dairies' Associations of Kourgaii'have! together with ' a British commenced making Cheddar cheese in the Biisfc district, under the direction ..of British chesse" experts; so far only ,trial shipments in small"quantities have been exported,, the results of Which are hot known,; biit if .successful there is no doubt that this will also develop into a lar;;c business in the future.
