RIVAL BUTTERS.
QUEENSLAND AND NEW ZEALAND. DIFFERENCETN LONDON PRICES. fßy Electric Cable —Copyright. 1 [Aust. and N.Z LONDON, July 25. Mr Robert Joyce, after inquiring ■why New Zealand butter is higherpriced on the London market than Queensland, asserts that it is primarily due to habit: there is little difference in the actual value of the best New Zealand and'Queensland butters. One detrimental characteristic of Australian butter is its extremely solid texture, which makes it difficult to spread, and thus unacceptable for the restaurant and domestic trader; but it is acceptable to blenders. A further difficulty Is that Queensland butter is only available on the British market for six months In the year, and therefore it is useless for any British house to sepcialise in it while New Zealand butter is available for a longer period.
