The Butter Market
_►- Messrs Barraud and Abraham report:—Our London agents Messrs R. T. Turnbull and Co, write us under date the 6th January as follows: — On 26th November we wrote to you on this important item, but we may at once say that unless the New Zealand dairy industry make up their minds to put their best foot foremost and be very particular as to quality, make-up, style, and packing in good new boxes, they will not command the position which Australia ia now securing. Much of the New Zealand butter we have seen from the North Island is store butter and not factory, and when a brand is irregular and mottled, the same price is impossible as for a good regular and sound quality. We think that New Zealand ought to beat Australia but^ it does not. With a really good quality kept up to standard and shipped regularly in moderate quantity paying prices are to be obtained and maintained. The highest price we have so far got this season for New Zealand is 110s, while for Australian we have secured up to 126s per cwt.
