DAIRY PRODUCE REPORT. Messrs E. Griffiths and Co. are in receipt of the following market report from their London principals, Messrs Mills and Sparrow, dated 28th March, lUO7:

Butter.—Trade during the past week has been of a holiday character, many buyers preferring to wait until next week before replenishing their stocks and we look for an increasing demand immediate}' the hoidays are over. Danish: Danish is arriving in somewhat increased supply, and prices hav'e come back 2 kroners.

French: In very small supply, but expected to be much more plentiful after Easter.

Siberian: The new freshly wintcrtmade butters are arriving and meeting with ready sale at quotations. Quality is satisfactory. "

New Zealand: Nearly the whole of the known brands' ex s.s. Mamari are cleared, but it is to-day rather difficult to get the extreme quotation of lastl week, ami 100s must be quoted as about top price. S.s. Eimutak.i is due next week, and the regular brands are being entered up at "open price."
