BUTTER FOR VANCOUVER.
NIAGARA'S BIG SHIPMENT
TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND CASES
Twenty-three thousand cases of butter are included in the cargo which is being taken by 'the Royal Mail steamer Niagara, sailing from Auckland for Vancouver to-night. This is the biggest shipment of butter to be made to Vancouver within recent years. The greater portion of the Niagara's butter is consigned to Honolulu, Victoria (British Columbia), and Vancouver, while several thousand cases are for transhipment to Shanghai. Some years ago the export of butter from Auckland to Vancouver was much heavier than it is to-day. The falling off in the trade is chiefly due to the growth of dairy farming in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the present revival, in some degree, is due to the dry season in Australia.
In addition to the large butter shipment, the Niagara is taking an unusually large quantity of frozen meat, chiefly beef and veal, for Horiolulu. It is consigned to the military authorities.
