NEW ZEALAND BUTTER.
FRESH SHIPMENT IN LONDON. [FROM otr own correspondent.] London, November 10. Br tho s.s. Ruapehu, which arrived a few days ago, the first shipment of new season butter from New Zealand reached this market, the consignment consisting of 6400 boxes. Messrs. Weddel describe its quality as being generally excellent. The butter is selling well at 130s per cwt for salted, and 132s for unsalted. Australian of choicest quality makes 126s to 128s per cwt. The Copenhagen official quotation remains unchanged at 113 kroner; French butter still keeps in short supply, with prices for best quality mildly salted at 136s to 140s per cwt. Argentine butter, new season's make, is arriving in medium quantities, with a great improvement in quality, and is selling at 122s to 1245, with about 2s more for unsalted. Messrs. Dalgety note an understanding that quite a considerable proportion of tho shipments from New Zealand has been booked for the Continent, which is expected to relieve this market to a certain extent. Australian butter, even at the prices now asked, has been meeting with a good deal of enquiry, particularly for finest quality. There 13 no New Zealand cheese yet to hand.
