DOMINION BUTTER
MARKET IN CANADA,
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
VANCOUVER, 11th Fob.
Twico during the present season have the export butter authorities very neatly timed the short-supply period on tho Canadian butter market.
The second cargo into Vancouver, where Now Zealand butter is always warmly welcomed,. :i -.vod in a period of leal shortage. One of tho bigger dealers who shipped a big supijly of butter from the prairies to tho British market, brought 10,000 boxes of it back again. The price had fallen in Fngland, and the butter was held in storage. Then a shortago was felt throughout the West, and the butter was brought back across the Atlantic, made its second overland journey, and was served on the tables of folk in A'berta, in which province it was produced. Meantime, a shipment of 17,500 boxes of New Zealand butter arrived, and was quickly sold. New Zealand butter had a similar experience in Montreal.
Ono has not heard, in eighteen months' residence, a complaint that New Zealai.:! butter has disturbed the market. But one has heard very many complaints that Now Zealand butter cannot be got by people who prefer it.
