THE CHEESE TRADE.
HIGH COMMISSIONER'S REPORT. <Per -Press Association.) WELLINGTON, JANUARY 29. A cablegram from the High Commissioner states that the total stocks of cheese m importers' and wholesale warehouses m Great Britain on January 1 were 18,088 tons, of which 11,400 cons was Government and 6688 tons privately owned. The balance to survive from Australasia under last season's contract was 562 tons. On January 1, with delay vi the arrival of iSew Zealand and the reduction m Canadian supplies, the market was temporarily firmer, and Government prices had not been reduced. Government stocks were being taken up slowly, and arrivals from New Zealand m February and March were not likely to be excessive ,and this should help the market for the first quarter. With larger arrivals, however, it was doubtful whether the prices would be maintained. The Government prices for butter are not yet lowered, though a reduction of 5d per lb reail will be made on February 7. Supplies generally are good, and the tendency is towards lower prices.
