DAIRY PRODUCE.

The following important information respecting the exportation of butter and cheese lias been issued by the London Office of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, and" published in pamphlet form by the Christchurch office of the Goiiipuny:— And the following specific instructions may be of service in guiding shippers, should the necessary accomodation be forthcoming, viz.:— («) Size—The most suitable cheeses for the Home market, when of good to prime quality, are those 'weighing from OGlb to 701b each. Smaller cheeses though saleable at a redaction in pmo, aro less suitable. & (b) Shape—The best is tho " OhlT dar" shape. (c) Flavour—Should be a mild as possible. (d) Colour—Straw colour is most sought after, but cheese of a slightly reddish hue will also sell well.

(e) Packing-Each cheeso should be packed by itself in a round wooden box, with a olosb-fitting lid, after the style of the well-kno ivn American Cheddar cheese boxes, It is no uso putting the cheese in tins for this market

f/j Uniformity, as regards size, shape, colour, flavour, etc. in each shipment, is a great desideratum. More important still is uniformity in style of manufacture throughout New Zealand, which, if secured even approximately, would greatly assist Colonial shippers in their competition with America. (<l) Temperature during the voyage to this country should not exceed oOdeg Mr., with 40deg for a minimum record. Freezing must be avoidedMjs least, until further experiments iffly justify its adoption. In any case, shipping in a cool chamber will undoubtedly be the more economical course to follow, Charges in London amount to a small fraction o/er |<J per lb, to which must lie added freight and primage, as OflV be arrauged on your side. '/*"

The following remarks are for the guidance of shippers generally (a.) Quality.- From what we can infer from tho appearance of the least injured of the various shipments from time to time received from your Colony, it is manifest that a really high class article is shipped as a rule, though in almost eyery case coming under our notica it was spoiled in the course of the voyage tu this country through improper stowage in ship's hold as ordinary cargo. .Nothing need therefore he said under this °hiL except to ask shippers to keep up® style of their rnanufactute to a regular standard.

(b.) Condition.—Fresh butter is so perishable ail article that it had better not be shipped in the meantime at any wt?i |{ Wter cQtuainiug

3 per cent of salt can lie wifely conveyed to this country, it will probably be found to command » butter price tlmn similar butter sailed to the extent of 3 per cent to i per cent, though the . jalter is the s i .ifer article to semi so ')Wg a distance. Practical experience alone cm deuido which is llw butter style to adopt, and to that end experiments should be carefully made at the outset. Probably the " 2 to 3 per cent of salt produce" will realise 5s to 10$ per cwt. more than the '• 3 to 4 per cent of salt" produce, if both \vre made underlie name circumstances, shipped at the same time and landed in equally good order. (c).4piicl:ages tor ordinary purpose" should be kegs of hard wood, hooped wiih wood or galvanised iron, and made tn contain nett 601b to 100 H) each, with a preference hero for the smaller size.

(d), Time of arrival ought to bo during our cold months, say September to Manli. Ai'iiuigements must lie jp»made to avoid arrivals during the hot wumuiei- months, (e). Temperature during voyage— From lack of practical experience, it is somewhat uncertain what degree of cold is best adapted for the preservation of butter shipped in vonr colony If frozen along with meat it arrives in mini order, but quickly turns rank, if cWed with cheese, at a le.uij eialure rising to 50deg. Mil., it may not stand tho voyoge. The best method is probably, carrying it in a temperature two or three degrees below freezing, but that may prove disproportionately costly. It may not bo practiceablo to have special compartments for butter, so it is desirable to split up a shipment between tho freezing and caol chambers to test results.

Prices.—As regards tho trade in casks or kegs values fluctuate considerably as between summer and winter, and at certain periods (say May to August- inclusive) they are liable to severe depressions, in which all qualities suffer more or less. In the absence of supplies of Colonial butter in good condition it is difficult to esti-

mate its probable value if Bound, but possibly it would takn rank villi similar to that in which it was shipped, Quotations for prime Danish butler in recent years have inio3 between 110s and 130s per cwt during September to March, mid between 70s to 90s per cwt during May to August.

Our contemporary tlio Liverpool Post says:—"Herr Ludwig had a touch-arid-go journey before ho caught the Servia, which left Queenstown 011 October 23nl for New York, where the famous baritone has an engagement to sing. He missed the connecting train at Dublin. Hiring a locomotive, he packed his baggage in the coal tender, ' and paying £SO for the service, started after ilia mail, He, however, failed to recover suflicient time, and on reaching Queenstown, found to his dismay that ujjpServia was under way. There a chance,. Tlio penalty was heavy for failure to fulfil- his engagement. Heir Ludwig cried out—'A tug, a tug; my cheque for a tug,' One was secured, and the baritone jumped on board with his baggage and out he

went upon the second half of his adventurous j'irney, A stern chase is proverbially a long one, but, tlmuks to much 'hooting' from the tug's siren and other signals, the attention of the Cutiarderwas attracted and the engines were stopped, the singer in a few moments finding himself on board, but LIOO poorer than when ho lelt Dublin,
