DAIRY PKODUCE 11KPORT. E. (iriiliths and Co., dairy produce exporters, Now Plymouth, ate in' receipt »!' the following market report from their Undoit principals. Messrs Hills ami Sparrow, dated 31st .May, 11)117:--Butter.--Then: is still nil absence of sunshine, otherwise everything else is favorable.. The make generally both in England and Ireland is increasing, the Imtter from the latter country being n oi,exceplinnaily good. Danish: Some agents talk of an advance next week on account of the make being full grass. l,nt we question whether this would lie a wise move, as the make is increasing.

French: Quality is now very line and the demand in consequence is heavy, and the supply is not sufficient at tlie' moment to till ail orders.

Siberian: The arrivals this week have been small, and next week will also lie a light one as regards c|iisinlily. as many of (lie rrails in Siberia wore amiosl inlpassible, and .ureal dillicultv was ev penenced in getting butter into the distrihutiiifr centre-. The quantilv of choicest is very limited and it is probable this shortage of finest will continue for a tew weeks as the butter which has been delayed will have sulfered.
