QUEENSLAND BUTTER POOL
Advices from Australia show that the Butter i Jooi Committee in Brisbane is still able to maintain the .wholesale price of 234s a, e\v.t. for first-grade butter in the metropolis. When, some little time ago, the price was reduced to Is 9d, the revision was made owing to competition from New South Wales, Sydney buyers, being in a position to reship Queensland butter to Brisbane at low prices. Apparently efforts made to chock reimportations ot the kind were attended with success, because it was not long before the quotation was increased to 2s a 1b wholesale, at which it now stimds. Still, it has not been possible wholly to stifle competition, and of late Sydney again has been shipping considerable quantities of Queensland butter back to that State. This is disclosed by tlie number ot retailers who are selling good butter at cheap rates in the Brisbane shops. . .■
