BUTTER AND CHEESE.
THE annual report of the Board of Trade states Hint New Zealand's consumption of butler is approximately 10,000 Ions; its product ion of butler is approximately 30,000 tons; its exportable surplus is, therefore, 20,000 tons per annum. All the factories are keen competitors for supplies of butter-fat, and it therefore follows that those factories which arc unable to give ruling prices for hutter-iat will be driven in time out of business. It the price received by factories catering for the local market is lower Ilian the export value, these factories are placed at a decided disadvantage in procuring supplies. The position, says the report, is further complicated hy the competition of cheese factories for butler-fat, and there is no restriction on the export of cheese to British ports, and cheese is bringing record prices in London, the cheese factories are able to offer exceptionally high prices for butter-fat.
