BUTTER AND CHEESE

.EIGHTH SHIPMENT FROM NEW PLYMOUTH. APPROXIMATE VALUE ; £72,500. TARANAKI EXPORTS TO DATE. The eight shipment of butter and cheese for the season from New Plymouth will be made on Friday of next week, when the Corinna will take 10,000 boxes of butter and 0500 crates of cheese. At Wellington the produce will be transhipped to the Home liner Remuera. This is all the Remuera can take, but a much greater quantity of butter and cheese—especially cheese—is in store awaiting space, indicating that if the Remuera had been able to take all the produce offering, it would have represented the most valuable shipment sent from Taranaki. As it is, the shipment ranks as the second most valuable one exported from New Plymouth. The cheese is expected to realise £37,500, and the butter £35,000, making a total approximate value of £72,500 The following table shows the quantities of butter and cheese exported from Taranaki this seas.on, and the amounts the produce is expected to realise: —
