THE SEASON'S OUTLOOK

AN INCREASE DOUBTFUL

(New Zealand Times.) Towards the end of last season. '. "i.eh was the most prosperous in regard U> the dairying industry in the history ol Uie colony, those competent to judge c luulated that at the same rate of mc -ase in Luc value of our produce exports Ihe 1904-5 dairying season would show a >tal export trade of close upon £2,000,00 in value, lt is to be feared, however, ta ing the ten months' ngures available, Irom April last, that these anticipations will scarcely be realised. It is problematical if there will be even an increase on last season's exports, and even questionable whether the ngures for the 1904-5 season will by the end of March quite mach the corresponding totals for the previous year.. The lateness of the season is the cause of the anticipated decline. It was very backward at the commencement of what is usually regarded as the most promising part of "the dairying season, when the grass is full and rich and the cattle thrive well. Although in numerous cises farmers have been milking more cows, they have been receiving less milk than formerly, and especially in the Taranaki district— the home of the dairying industry in tias country — farmers have not been getting what they anticipated from their cows. with, of course, a corresponding falling-off in the output available for export. In the. 1903-4 season New Zealand exported butter to the value of £1,416,484, and cheese valued at £206,870, a grand total of £1.623.354. For the. ten months onding January last the exports of butter amounted to £976.413, against £1,005,107 in the corresponding ten months of the previous season ; and cheese to the value of £114.408. as compared with £141,576 for the previous period ; or. approximate • ly, a falling-off of about £35,000 to date. The February and March shipments have yet to be counted in, and the increased shipments this month will probably make up for the decrease already shown, though with a continuance of dry weather in the dairying districts the March shipments are not expected to exceed the shipments in the corresponding month last season. THE SEASON'S SHIPMENTS. Since September last the following shipments of butter and cheese have been despatched from this colony to the Home markets : —
