W. Weddel and Co. report under late London, September 18, as follows : —
Butter.—The demand continues (piiet, but signs aro not wanting that buyers are beginning fo take more interest both as regards spot stocks and also forward deliveries of colonial -butter. Danish butter is firmer, and the official quotation has been advanced 4kr. and present prices for strictly "choicest" quality range from 129s to 1.30s per cwt. Siberian butter is iv fair demand at from 114s lo 118s for best descriptions, whilst under pi - iced and inferior lots aro a very slow sale at from 100s to I]2s. Negotiations have been in progress for some time past with the Russian Government to permit the exportation of a. certain amount of Siberian butter to this country via Archangel, and in all probability a limited quan'it.y of Siberian butter will be shipped fo this country from the above port within tho next weok or two. Dutch butter, owing to its intrinsic \alne, is a good xa\o 3 and is perhaps Mte best value on the market at the present moment, as tho very best descriptions of railed can he bought at I.los to l'JSs, with unsalted at 118s up to 120s per owl. Fair quantities of French butter are being offered at relatively low prices, and secondary and inferior descriptions are being offered at from °fe to RJOs for salted, and 100s up to 100s for unsalted. Irish creameries are unaccountably dow as far as London is concerned, but a better demand is being experienced for butters in other parts of the couutry_ nnd prices in Troland are 2s to 4s dearer than last week. Current quotations ranue from 116s to 120s for best salted, and 120s to 122s for unsalted. There is very little Australian butler on offer, and prices aro more or less nominal at 118s to 1.20s for salted and unsalted. During the last fortnight a small amount of business has been done over the cables at prices ranging from 120s to 122s c.i.f. in London for first quality Victorian, New South Wales and Queensland butter, both salted and unsalted, but generally speaking there is very little speculative dem and. New Zealand butter is practically off the market, and up to tlie present littlo or no forward contracting has yet taken place. Cheese.- —This market continues on tho quiet side, and prices are Is to 2s per cwt easier, both ou spot and over the cables, finest white or coloured Canadians on spot can now be quoted at 75s to 70s, whilst c.i.f. prices range from 725.t0 745, according; to quality and section.
