DAIRY PRODUCE REPORT. ] The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency reports under date, London, Oct. 27th : Butter.—Since our last report a good steady demand has been experienced in all our markets for Choicest qualities, and prices are well maintained. In secondary qualities there has been considerable pressure to sell, especially where ajorod goods were concerned, and prices have given way from 2s to 4s per cwt. according to the condition and ago of the butters. The drought on the Continent during the summer months has had a very material j influence on the exports of btitter to the United Kingdom from all tlie Continental sources of supply, and the decrease may be estimated at 7.50 tons per week since Sept. 1. . This shortage is distributed among 'the following four countries sia shows a deficiency of 46,323cwt, Prance 26,974cwt, Denmark 21,046 cwt, Denmark 2i,o46cwt, Holland 11,687cwt. It is interesting to note that Canada has increased her exports to the United Kingdom this season, and from June 30 last to the present date the increase, as compared with last year, may be stated , as 3428 tons. The quality of the Canadian creamery has shown a considerable improvement this seaEOii, many oK the well known creameries sending butters of exceptionally choice quality. There has, of course, been a very considerable quantity of secondar' Gutters shipped which have, been dillicult to sell owing to their irregular flavours. So far the shipments of new butter from the colonies haw been upon a small scale, but the quality on the whole has been choice. The stocks
9f co)d stored butters are gradually \' diminishing, but there is consider- ' able anxiety shown on the part of sellers to clear their holdings before the advent of the new season's, manufacture. It is interesting to note that since June 30 the Queensland arrivals have been more than tSose't of' Victoria and New South Wales combined. The arrivals from New Stouth Wales up to date are greats fftam those from Victoria by 1800 boxes, while the Queensland is greater by 22,090 boxes. The supply from the Irish creameries is now gradually falling oft, and buyers arc more interested in Canadian and Cotfers. The Copenhagen official quotation, which was unchang>i as t week, is cabled this week "again unchanged." The weather ft exceptionally fine, and so fx fijitfteife ard no signs of early' winter. This week's prices '.—Choicest Danish, 116s to 119g ; choicest Irish .crsftmery, 103s to 1045.; choicest Canadian, 100s to 102s; choice Canadian, 98s to 100s; choicest Australian,. 106s ; stored Colonial, 92s to 94s'. ' 'Cheese.—The 'demand, winch for some time past has been extremely disappointing, now shows improvement, and the tone of all the mar- " • kets is ' distinctly better. The Cana- . djap, c.'i.f. quotations have been ad- ! TOncedvW'there has taken place an upward movement in the Home ' jaarkets. At , the same time, buyers '' SvielMle/pr np confidence in the
future, and the spot prices arc not up to the parity of the Canadian Quotations. For choicest September whilje ajidv coloured cheese'the c.i.f. is' 45s to 46a 6d, and the spot price from 44s to 465. The annual show of Home Cheddars and Dunlops took place at Kilmarnock last week, and there was a fair sals. market,,, however, is dull, with "a"strong desire on the part of holders to sell. Some inquiries have been put forward for New Zealands,. but little or no business has yet gonethW>iijgh iti this This fa-, week's prices Finest. Home Chod- < -'dirs, 55s to 59s ; finest Home Dunlops; 50s to 54s ; finest September Canadians, 44s to 465.
