Scales & Co'sNew Zealand produce report, London, 4fch October, 1890:Butter—We have a fairly active market with a good demand, for all fine qualities at steadily advancing rajes. Very little of the New Zealand or Australian is now offering, and the few parcels that have been placed on the market have been of the lowest description, only saleable et grease prices. We anticipate a good sale for really fine colonial butter during the coming winter, but owing to the very abundant supplies of low class Amerieau, Canadian now on hand, and still to come forward, there is no doubt that second and third rate qualities New Zealand will.be very difficult to sell at all, and' will only realise unsatisfactory rates, We strongly adviso that only finest new butter should ho shipped to this market. We .quoto: Normandy, 100s and 116s;Du'tch, 90s audlOOsf Amoricai), 60s and 90s, Now Zealand, none,

Lata arrivals of New Zealand Lave been mostly indifferent, some mere rubbish, and we must recommend great caution in the selection for the English trade, for only the finest sorts are likely to find buyers at remunerative prices.
