Oriliiths and Co. are in receipt of the following market report from their London principals, Messrs '.Mills and Sparrow, dated London No- I .win 28, KM3:— ! llultoiv—There lias •qniry for most descriptions of butter ! throughout the week, and any changes .in limitations tend in an upward direction. The weather is ■mild and open,., vand favorable for production, so that with firm markets in face of these cli■nsvtii! conditions, tliu future should be satisfactory. | Australian: There is a better feeling, fperhaps to a certain extent caused through the. detoy with New Zealand i butter, owing to the strike in Wellington; consequently buyers are a little ■keener fur choice goods, and salted par■tieularly shows an appreciation in value. Unsaltcd, although closing a little, heller, is still at a discount. f N'ew Zealand: There has been very little, selling this week, and buyers are | all waiting' for the s.s. ltuapehti, now I due. Very few prices have, been arranged from this ship, but holders, i» view of no other arrivals coining before J Christmas, are firming their ideas considerably, and there is no doubt a material advance will be made on the. last j quoted prices. | Colonial arrivals this week consisted I of: —l>er s.s.
