Messrs E. Griffiths and Co., 'New Ply-» mouth, are in receipt of the following market report from their London principals, Messrs Mills and Sparrow, dated September 10, 1910: Since our last report, the market has been generally quiet. We think the chief cause of this is the labor unrest in the North of England, things being in such an unsettled state that buyers are acting with great caution. We are hoping that everything will soon be settled satisfactorily, and there is no doubt that trade will then go ahead. Danish: The quotation is unchanged, and the trade continues quiet.

Siberian: This week's arrivals amount to about the same quantity as last, and slightly higher prices have been made for finest quality, which is very scarce. French: As was anticipated, a further advance took place this week, this being Gd per dozen on fresli rolls, and 2s to 5s on baskets. The production is now decreasing, which causes prices to harden. , Australian: The s.s. Mongolia arrived this week, with 2000 boxes butter, part of which were new season's make, and part stored. The few choice Victorian butters met with a ready sale at 114s to 116s, but the demand is slow in the secondary qualit", buyers still drawing on their stocks ':i store. From |no\v onwards arrivals will slowly increase, and we have every confidence that the best goods will clear as they come to hand. New Zealand: There is very little offering, and as the first arrival is not due until October 20. per s.s. lonic, there will be very little business in the meantime. Cheese.—New Zealand: The arrival per s.s. Ruapehu has not met with a very ready sale, there being too long an interval between this and the previous steamer, and buyers had to fill their requirements in the meantime, with Canadian, but prices so far of those that have b.een sold are very satisfactory when compared with Canadian.

Canadian: . Trade continues .on the same steady basis, buyers trying hard to get the market down, but with no real success. We do not anticipate any decline, and should not be surprised to see a shilling or two more made in a few weeks' time, as soon as the late August and September makes come to hand.
