THE CHEESE MARKET.

Those ill. the -dairy "'''export trade have-been, expecting a rise in the price of cheese, for which commodity the Home hiarket was rather dull in February. The rise has come about. Mr J. R. Scott, secretary of the South Island Dairy Association, has been advised by cable on Saturday last that the market . has shown a further advance, both white and coloured cheese being quoted at 60s. The prices at the end of February were,: White, 57s - coloured, 595. The comparative values of wnite and coloured cheese at Home apparently depend on. the supply of each, as it: .only takes a few crates either way j to influence the market. One of the Association's agents in London ventured the opinion in January that the near future would see the turn of the scale, and white cheese would come up to as good if not slightly better than coloured. The same gentleman wrote"One thing we are delighted to be able to report is that the general run of New Zealand cheese is pleasing, and buyers all over the country are gett- i ing more and more in favour of them. We think the time is not far - distant when New Zealand cheese will have a very much higher degree of popularity* than any Canadian."
