NEW ZEALAND BUTTER.
Regarding the price of butter in London, a correspondent writes: 'One of the points to mention is the little premium that Danish has had for some time past over New Zealand produce, a matter of a few shillings only. In a dear market like we have had for months, the tendency is-for all descriptions of butter of the choicest grade to approximate in price. I see by Continental reports that New Zeah.nd butter has sold in Berlin on a parity with Danish and Dutch. This is an interesting and important fact, and one may fairly aocept this piece of news as valuable confirmation of the wise system prevailing in New Zealand of strict Government'grading. A point in favour of high rates for Australasian butter during .' the 1911-12 season is the terrible foot-and-mouth scourge prevailing in Germany, France, and other Continental countries. In Germany, 30,000 cattle .herds were affected; and in. Normandy it is anticipated that not 20 per cent, of the cows will calve, owing to the effects of the disease.—Australian Field.
