LONDON MARKETS. London, July 28. "Weddell's annual review of the produce trade says that the application of pasteurisation in New Zealand has resulted in an all-round improvement, particularly in texture and keeping properties, and the 11avor of cowiness has been largely reduced and iishiv.ess is practically absent. New Zealand should erect dual plants, in view of the possibility of Canada ceasing to export cheese in the not distant future. Weddell's estimate of the prices for Australian and New Zealand butter and cheese next season is much below last but above the average for the four preceding years. Consols, £74 10s.
