Griffiths and Co. are in receipt of the following market report •from their London principals, Messrs ! Mills and Sparrow, dated London, January 30, 1914: • Butter.—With fairly large arrivals, there has been a good demand throughout the week, although in some cases prices have cased down. The weather has been very changeable, and after a severe spell of frost, we are now exjicriI encing a very mild temperature for the time of year. Danish: The quotation is one kroner up, with a steady demand. Australian: There has been a fair consumptive demand. Unsalted maintains a premium of 3s to 4s over salted. Generaly speaking, the quality this week did not show quite such a fine average as has occurred the last two or tlirce weeks, several factories grading a point or .two lower, no doubt owing to the hot weather. New Zealand: The. demand for this Tiriety continues quiet, although at the lowest quoted prices there is plenty of enquiry. Holders are, however, unwilling to sell really good Tjutters at the loir quotations now Bhown, but anything that is not quite up to the top standard cannot be held, which is. no doubt, the cause of the comparative cheapness of New Zealand butter just now. Some of the goods may have ■ been held in New Zealand owing to the strike, and suffered in flavor. Australian arrivals this week consisted of—Per s.s. Tropic, 6500 boxes; Clan Mcßae, 1251) boxes; Macedonia, 41,200 boxes. Cheese.—The demand has been a little quieter this week, and some holders be- | ing rather nervous of the biy supplies now due to land, have shown more wil- | lingness to meet buyers, and consequent- ' ly quotations are 6d to Is lower on thp j week, particularly on white, of which there is a larger proportion than usual | just now. Advices from Canada report that the export is practically finished for the season, so that buyers are altogether dependent on New Zealand. I
