BUTTER FIRMER CHEESE STEADY LONDON, March 26. During the past week in London the tone of the butter market lias been quiet, while an irregular tendency has been reflected in the cheese market. Current quotations arc as follow, those for the previous week being shown in parentheses:— Butter. Danish, 118 s (USs). Choicest salted: New Zealand, S3s (80s to 81s); Australian, S3s (SOs to Sis). Unsalted: New Zealand, S4s to 85s (S4s to SOs); Australian, 3s to 84s (82s to 84s). Cheese.—New Zealand: While, 49s Gd to 50s (49s to 50s); coloured, 51s to 52s (51s Od to 525). Australian: White, 48s Gd to 49s (4Ss); coloured, 49s 6d to 50s (49s 6d). Comparison Table Butter —N.Z. choicest salted: This week .. .. S3/-. Last week .. .. SO/- to SI/-. A month ago ... 89/-. A year ago . .. 76/-. 83/- equals 9.51 d lb butter-fat payout. Cheese—N.Z. coloured: This week .. .. 51/- to 52/-. Last week .. .. 51/6 to 52/-. A month ago . .. 54/- to 55/-. A year ago . .. 47/6. 51/6 equals 10.92 d lb butter-fat payout. Comment During the past week the dairy produce market in Loudon has been very unsettled. At mid-week quotations for both butter and cheese were even lower than those for last week-end; since then they have more than recovered. It is likely that further improvement will be made.
