The Chronicle PUBLISHED DAILY LEVIN. THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1915. THE LONDON BUTTER AND CHEESE MARKET.

Some interesting note** lor dairyfarmers are given in a broadsheet sent out by Mills and Sparrow, of London. Tliis linn figures out that butter to Ae value of over twenty-tour million pounds sterling is imported into Great Hritain every year. Ol this total L'10.•">()(),000 its due to Denmark, anil .IM.-300.000 to Australia and New Zealand. (Ireat Britain spends annually a further sum of seven million pounds s tor I inji on cheese. Eoi: a long period Great Britain relied almost entirely oil Canada and the United States for cheese supplies, but the United States as a. result of the enormous increase in population and lowered tariff, have now become buyers of foodstuffs in the world's market* instead of sellers, and Canadian exports to Great Britain are declining: so Great Britain is looking to. New Zealand. Australia and Siberia to supply these heavy deficiencies. With the immense opportunities open to Australian and New Zealand farmers. and with nothing to hinder its further development, the London firm whose circular we write of predicts a \ery prosperous future before the Australasian dairying industry. Owing io the fact that it is chiefly handled b,v the large passenger steamers using the Port of London, this tnwlo can he bettor developed and worked from London than from any other centre.
