CHEESE IN LONDON.
MARKET STILL FIRM. (By TelegTaph.—Press Association.) YV ELLIXGTON, Saturday. A cablegram from the High Commissioner says that the total stocks of cheese in importers' and wholesalers" warehouses in Great Britain on January 1 were 18,088 tons, of which 11,400 tons belonged to the Imperial '-Government and 6688 were privately owned. The balance io arrive from Australia and New Zealand under last season's contract was 562 tons on January 1. With the delay in the arrival of New Zealand cheese and the reduction in Canadian supplies the market is temporarily firmer, and the Government prices have not been reduced. The Government stock is being taken Up slowly. Arrivals from New Zealand in February and March are not likely to be excessive, and this should help the market for the first quarter. With larger arrivals, .however, it is doubtful whether prices will be maintained. The Government prices fo-r butter have not yet been lowered, though a reduction of 4d per lb retail will be made on February 7. Supplies generally are good, and the tendency is toward lower prices.
