BUTTER FOR AMERICA

TiRA KINA’S BIG SI 11 BAI ENT

AUCKLAND. Nov. 28

A remarkable, illustration of the growth of New Zealand's Imtter trade with Canada and the United States is afforded by the destinations ol 1 a shipment of over 98.P00 boxes in the Turakina, which will leave Auckland for American east coast ports and London. Of the tola,l of 98,187 boxes,ol butter. 09.557 are for Halifax. 11,100 for New York, and 17.550 for west coast ports of the United Kingdom. The dispatch of such a large single shipment of butter to Canada indicates how very rapidly New Zealand trade is developing in that quarter. Canada, it would appear, has been more tiia/i ever exploiting its comparatively recent policy of exporting nearly all its own surplus to England. and importing from New Zealand. The strength of the English market this season has no doubt accentuated the trend. Probably most of the butter destined for Halifax will find its way to Montreal and loronto. Tb n s, it is. noted with satisfaction, the American market is being exploited by New Zealand from both Pacific and Atlantic coasts, for Vancouver-bound ships from Auckland are at Ibis season of the year taking increasing quantities of imtter for AAest ( ana.dian and American ports and Momentarily. American buying h:o eased off. but earlier forward sales will ensure a steady flow of dairy produce in that direction. Probably next month further heavy cargoes will cross the Pacific.
