PRICE OF BUTTER
TARANAKI SUPPLY.
In- discussing the recent advance in the price of butter in Auckland, the Taranaki Daily News states :—" There has been no similar advance in Taranaki. In conversation with a reporter a New Plymouth merchant expressed the opinion that there would be no change here, for the present conditions of the market were rather in favour of a decrease in the price than an increase. The -weather now being experienced in Taranaki was particularly favourable for the supply of butter. The price now ruling in Taranaki for butter lor export is Is 3id per lb, and at some shops in New Plymouth the best brands of butter can be bought retail for cash at Is 4d per lb, which is only £d more than the wholesale price. The general retail price ruling is Is 5d per lb booked. This shows that Taranaki people are getting, their butter Id per lb cheaper than Auckland, and in this connection it is interesting to observe that through all the changes which the price of butter has undergone recently it has always been about Id lower in Taranaki than in other parts of New Zealand."
