CANADIAN DAIRY EXPORTS.
DECLINE IN CHEESE EXPORTS. DRAWING ON NEW ZEALAND FOR BUTTER SUPPLIES. Messrs James Alexander, Ltd., a Montreal firm of dairy produce exporters, reporting last month, state: We estimate the Canadian export cheese crop for 1912 as follows:—Exported from Montreal, May 1 to December 1. 1,723,000 boxes; from other ports, 20,000 boxes; total. 1,743,000 boxes. Shocks in store at Montreal on November 30 amounted to 115,000 boxes; in the West (including quantity in store''at Toronto and in factories, sold and unsold), 35,000 boxes; east of Toronto (in store and factories), 25.000 boxes; total, 1,918,000 boxes.
"More cheese continues to be used for the homo trade, and 15 per cent, of present stocks will be required for this purpose. In the last previous nine years, according to official statements, the Canadian export "-cheese crops have been (in boxes, each averaging 78V 2 lb): 1911, 2,078,107; 1910, 2,295,332; ' 1909, 2,076,052; 1908,2,076.952; 1007,2,341,960;. 1906, 2,579,832; 1905, 2,730,909; 1904, 2,808,832; 1903, 3,146,000. "No butter was exported from Canada this season,, the home trade absorbing ali we produce (notwithstanding that our exports of cream to the United States are only about two-thirds what they were in 1911). In addition, we will import from New Zealand and Australia from now to next May quite 150,000 boxes (561b each). Since May last Montreal has shipped to points west of the Creat Lakes about 160.000 boxes of butter. There has also been shipped from Ontario points west of Toronto about 40,000 boxes, of a total value of 3,000,000 dollars. The West has also taken since May I about 300,000 dollars' worth of cheese, and still owns for shipment about 15 per cent, of our present stock. This means a gradual decline in exports of dairy products owing to the increased home consumption, which is quite as marked in the East as the West To supply this increased demand for butter milk and cream, milk will have to be drawn from cheese factories unless dairy herds are increased and extended to new districts; but we cannot see amsigns at present."
