THE BUTTER MARKET.

COURSE OF PRICES. Messrs A. H. Turnbull and C". report:— The following are the top Loudon prices, for the last four weeks:— Jan. Jan. Ja n - Feb.

weakened about the 23rd January and then improved considerably about the end of the month, but has again declined to. a level of 160 s, The latest report is that the market is lair I y steady at 160 s, and in view of the fact that the Port Campbell, Hertford anil Athenie, carrying -about 2500. tons, have arrived and are being cleared, it looks as though the market would remain steady during February, as the only other vessels to arrive ai'e the Cumberland and Rualune, carrying a further 250 Q tons, (between thein, and due towards the end of the month. " Forward Butter.—There is a small enquiry for February/March, make from London .buyers at round about Is 34d, with indications of ibeing able to do slightly better with firm offers. The arrival of New Zealand ibuitter in the United Kingdom during March according to present allotments and sailings, will amount to practically 13,000 tons. The arrivals during March 1923 were 6600 tQns and March 1924, 6800 tons, SQ that arrivals during next month on present figures will Show an increase of nearly, 100 per cent, on the two previous years. It seems doubtful, therefore, whether the market will be able to stand up to the heavy arrivals, more especially during the first half of. March. ' Australia.—Australian shipment and production still showfc-a very substantial increase oil previous years and the shipments from Australia during December were just over 10.000 tons as against 2000 tons for December, 1923. Cheese.—The market is steady and shows' a tendency to firm. Forward buyers have been indicating the possibility Qf business for February make at B|d, but are not pressing for business at this figure. Statistics..—The statistics show a continued increase in the production of butter this season and it certainly j looks "as though this year our butter ( production will reach a record. i The shipments for the s.ix months, to I January 31, 1925, total 695,000 c\vts„ i i as against 558,000 cwt. in 1934, and, i 690,000 cwt. in 1923, while there was ] ! i 55,000 cwt. awaiting shipment, as against 105,000 (1924) and 139,000 (1923) ! cwt. Cheese graded in the six montns | I totalled 836,000 cwt. as against 890,000 ■ [ cwt. in 1924 and 665,000 in 1923. j
