NEW ZEALAND BUTTER.
Mr Wesley Spragg, the managing director of the New Zealand Dairy Association, who has just returned from a tour of Great Britain and America, in reply to inquiries by a "New Zealand Herald" reporter about the state of the butter market generally, said that the past season has been an exceptional one, owing to the shortage of supplies, and the prices have been high. He thinks wq have no right to expect a recurrenc®
of such markets, unless under similar i exceptional conditions. But he is of opinion that good buying prices will ' be obtained for many years to come, j The reason for this is the constantly ! increasing demand for butter, caused | by the growing population in all of the older countries. America has ceased to be a competitor in the Lon- j don market, owing to the fact that j her supplies are needed at home, while Canada, the greatest cheese producing country in the world, is in much the same position in regard to butter.
