THE BUTTER MARKET.
PRICES LIKELY TO KULE IN THE DOMINION.
ENGLISH BUYERS BUSY.
By Telegraph—Press A:sociation. WELLINGTON, December 6.
Inquiries in local circles show that there is no prospect of the local price of butter (top brands) dropping below Is OJd per lb wholesale, and Is 2d lb retail, this side of Christmas. Butter buyers for Home have taken all they could get up to March next, and that at from lljd to iljd. The low prices on the London market therefore do not affect companies who have made their contracts and so secured themselves, as the great majority of them have done. In view of this fact suppliers of the local market cannot see their way clear to come below llfd per lb. There is a considerable amount of inferior dairy butter to be had at a lesser rate, but the New Zealand palate is more fastidious than that of the English butter eaters, who do no mind a milled article with a bit of a "tang" in it.
