•Meosre X. yijJHdffiths and Co., Dairj Pro* duce Exporter*; «ew Plymouth, ate in receipt of the following market report frjim their London' Principals, Messrs Mills ja» Sparrow, dated 28th February, 19'18._/’' • During the pest week the been showery, but generally spe»lqpw t&j beneficial to the pastures, which wJr excellent shape. The market for butter has been demoralized, and the strong advances whioh we were reporting for a few keen eame to a sudden stop, and as reported m oar last of the 2lst inst, buyers stopped operating and it was then idiffioult to state at what price the market would settle to when chair ness was once more resumed. The conditions this week have remained pretty well the MtQ* as those!ruling last week, .and it has .bettS exceedingly difficult to place butters at any price, whilst holder in endeavouring to find i: level at whioh business could be resumed, ref duced prices about 5s daily. Yesterday Copenhagen boldly met the difficulty and re* duced their prices 18 krone (20s 3d) which is the biggest drop on record, and to-day ws may say that values as recorded below represent a fair market value ate which there is some business pairing, so that we areheplag from now on trade will receive normal eon* and get away from the “ panifyfeeling that, has been ruling the situation for the last three weeks.

Danish.-—Trade in the Midlands and North stopped in the same way as it did in tha South, and heavy concessions had to be made to make sales. ■ " ' • Siberian.— Arrivals continue light values are about 20s down. ; v French.—Lower prices have been quoted iIV I order to induce business, but supply from France ia very light indeed, and will be considerably less during the next few weeks than for the past fortnight, African. - This description which usaallf comes in during periods of abnormal priesa always does well until the break comes, bnt when the stop does come the demand for thii description ceases and no price tempts buyers. It is difficult to Bay to-day what, is; tha value of American butter, as it is impossible to sell it. ■ „ Australian. —The very small arrival this week per s.s. "Orua* with 10,000.8/s was not noticed, as considerably quantifim were left over from last weeks arrivals par a,O. “Mongolia” and “Essex,” consequently there has been % surplus of I butter offering,' and with ther rapidly declining prices very little business haa transpired, until the close of the market, when values are * under, and more business doing. < New Zealand.—Quite u largo proportion of the butters landed per “ lonic ■ last weak .remain unsold, and very considerable reductions have had to be, made to induce busincm.

CHEESE. Canadianl-'-TherC has been a steady toad# throughout the week and eonnnna .firm. ' •, *-V , - New Zealand.—Goods landed per lonte tunned out in fine order, although some foe* tones are a little too green. There Is a good steady demand, -
