THE BUTTER MARKET.
PRICES IN WELLINGTON.
[BT TELEGRAPH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Wellington, Sunday. Inquiries show that there is no prospect of the local price of butter (top brands) dropping. below Is o£d per lb wholesale, and Is 2d per lb retail this side of Christmas. Butter-buyers for Home have taken all they could get up to March next, and that at'from Hid to Hid. The low prices on the London market, therefore, do not affect companies who have made their contracts, and so secured themselves, as the great majority of them have done. In view of this fact, suppliers of the local market cannot see their way clear to come below llgd per lb. There is a considerable amount of inferior dairy butter to be had at a lesser rate, but the New Zealand palate is more fastidious than that of the English.
