THE VICTORIAN BUTTER TRADE.
. The "Australasian" states that the considerable change in the local butter market, which has fallen about 5d per lb during the week, affords a prospect that as soon as the production expands a little more, it will be possible to do business with South Africa, which is generally prepared to start buying in September, and a further moderate decline would no doubt attract orders. Should last year's precedent be followed, the South African demand would be sufficient to absorb whatever surplus is available until the end of September, and afterwards to reduce the quantity available for London. It is not expected, therefore, that shipments to London will start until October, and, as the cattle have suffered from the effects of the winter, it will probably take some time before they get fully into condition. The total quantity of Victorian butter shipped to London during the season will probably be smaller than in 1901-2, but the precise outturn must depend upon the course of the weather.
