VANCOUVER TRADE.
Last year a fair business was done with Vancouver in butter, but this year the merchants in that locality are showing extreme dilatoriness. Sellers at this end want a price for the season, the shipments to go forward by each steamer,, while the Vancouver merchants seem unwilling to enter into such season contracts. Consequently, very little if any business has done so far. The cables have been kept at work, but not with any satisfactory results. The Vancouver merchants are believed not to have had a very good time during the past season, and they attribute wieir losses to having made contracts extending ever the entire seasotn. They prefer, so it is said, to buy from month to month, which they will find a difficult matter, so far as New Zealand products are concerned. Hence there is a likelihood that the bulk of the Vancouver butter trade will fall to the Commonwealth, In the meantime, it is interesting to note that several parcels have been engaged for San Francisco, and there is the promise ctf a lucrative trade in the near future with the Califoruian capital. —Mercantile Gazette.
