BUTTER AND CHEESE MARKET. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright.. London, May 25. Butter.—Quiet, and occasionally a shade easier, owing to the favorable weather and the increasing make here and in France. Cheese—Canadian, 110s; Mew Zealand 1.12s to 114s. The market is tending to be easier owing to the large quantity of New Zealand afloat, of which it is expected that the trade will receive about half.
