The New Zealand Times, in refering to the success of the shipment of butter scut homo by the Protos, says:— We trust to see this export, tra.de established on a large scale. The London prices current shown that from Is to Is4d can be obtained for the finest qualities of tinned butter in London. It is clear, therefore, that a large export trade in butter would bring great gain to the New Zealand farmer. And there is abundance of demand for it there. The yearly consumption of butter in London has been estimated at ten pounds per head of the population, or -10,000,000 pounds per year, without including some 3000 tons necessary for victualling ships leaving the port. Here now is the prospect of a highly profitable trade, iv which this colony ought to fully participate as well as in tho export trade of frozen meats.
