THE BUTTER MARKET.
" No, wo cannot supply half tho butter asked for,' , remarked Mr Thomas Parsons, chairman of the Dairy Union, to an " Otago Daily Times " representative on .Monday. "At our meeting at Palmerston the other day," lio continued. ; 'we had applications from seven Vancouver and South African firms, hut we were unable to offer them a pound. Our sellers guaranteed us 12.J-d.per lb f.o.b. at Wellington for a thousand boxes for a market outside tho English, and this also could not be filled, as we had booked orders to complete.' , Speaking fyrther, Mr Parsons stated that Canada was taking as much butter as could be supplhd her, and this was helping to maintain tho price in London. Outside butter was now selling in Canada at Is 10d per lb, which included 3d per lb duty, p.nd there was no indication that ;i drop in prices was likely to occur. Ho contended that dairying prospects had never been brighter in New Zealand than at present.
