BUTTER BUYERS CRITITAL.
POOR SALE FOR FISHY PARCELS. In a communication to its Wellington branch a London firm writes on March 24: “Last week’s advance in the Copenhagen quotation checked the Danish butter trade, and the market this week has become dull. The demand for fine and finest Australian and New Zealand continues fairly good, but inferior grades are neglected, and parcels of fishy and other bad flavoured butter are unsaleable except at very heavy reductions in price. “We wish to emphasise the fact that buyers ai*e now very critical, as is very natural, and it is very difficult to get them to even make a bid for inferior lots. Unsalted commands a slight premium over salted. “Both Canadian and New Zealand cheese are firmly held, although the inquiry for the latter is mostly on the part of speculators, the general consumptive demand being quiet.”
