THE BUTTER MARKET.

Jn a circular lot lev issued to suppliers, Ihe i'T.JG. Fenners’ Dairy Lnion, Ltd., says:—• “Dear Sir or ..Madam, —Yon ’.rill doubtless have notieed in ihe cable reports from England that in consequence of the (lovernment ceasing to control the price of butter it is expected that a very sharp rise In values will immediately lake place, some authorities being bold enough to predict that these prices will even soar to 4s and 55.. One thin" is certain, that the world’s production of butter is vastly less than the demand, and this will naturally cause values to rise, as is the case with nearly all other food stuffs. . . . Our butter will go on the open market in common with other brands, and our suppliers will participate in any increased prices which their butter realises. . . . The butler market is on the eve of a marked change in favour of the supplier,* and the lime is opportune for a clever exploiter to reap a golden harvest from those who are not put wise to tiie position, so that wo cannot too strongly urge you to be very - wary of entertaining any idea of a. . Used price however high it may’appear as compared with present prices.” . ,V„ 4'
