THE BUTTER TRADE.
(EBB PBEBS ASSOCIATION. ) WELLINGTON, Marcb 28. The Agent-General writes respecting . complaints, of tbe quality of butter, that owing to large arrivals, especially of Australian and New Zealand, batter ■ buyers are more critical, and have condemned as unsound butter which in a less fall market would have found a ready gale. He condemns the presenoe of large quantities of dairy butter on the market, owing to tbe fact that it does cot keep or carry so we.ll as oreamory. .He states that speculators who bought for export to tbe English market lost heavily, and are not likely to visit the colony this season. Mr Perceval adds 'that the long-standing controversy as to proper temperature to carry butter is still undeoided, but opinions favor tbe low temperature as preferable, but for tbe best quality tbo preient temperatore seems to produce highly satisfactory reßults.
