BUTTER EX PORT.
The Canterbury Press has been informed that a firm of stoi'ekeepers m North Canterbury sent Home, fourteen months ago, a consignment of batter, including about 200 kegs, which, on the account sales coming to hand, showed it had been sold at 6d per lb, and, deducting and expenses, stood at 3d per lb net. In one of the kegs, the butterman, whilst packing ir, inserted a glass bottle containing some account of where the butter was made, and requesting whoever received the kpg- to state m what condition the butter was received and its market value. This particular keg reached someone m the Isle of Wight, who has written out to say the market value of the keg was 14d, owing to the brand being unknown m the market, but that had it been any well-known brand the quality was such as to be worth 17d.
