LONDON DAiRY MARKET.

HEAVY CHRISTMAS SUPPLIES. LOWER PRICES EXPECTED. (Received 11 a.m.) LOXDO'X, December 13. Commodities generally are firm. Putter has continued without feature, the demand being very quiet, ' but there was an attempt to stabilise the market at present values. There seems to be no prospect of much alteration in the immediate future as the extra weight of arrivals around Christmas is likely to lead to lower prices early in the Xexv Year, with a possibility of a more stable market giving safer ground for buyers to operate. Cheese was also lower, but a temporary : scarcity of Xew Zealand led to a small recovery. The outlook is. like butter, for uninteresting markets, with the prospect of lower values in the Xew Year. Poor Outlook for Egos. Traders are unable to take an encouraging view of the egg market. Quantities of Empire ejtjw were placed in cold store in the hope of a recovery in January. A big increase in Continental production makes the outlook unpromising. THE BOARD'S REPORT.
