BUTTER FOR CANADA.
BIG SHIPMENT BY NIAGARA.
GOOD MARKET AVAILABLE.
AUSTRALIA HANDICAPPED[by TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.! WELLINGTON. Friday. There is a fairly * good market in Canada this season for New Zealand butter, and prices in Vancouver at present are better than in London. The Niagara, which leaves Auckland! on Tuesday, is taking between 7000 and 8000 boxes of butter for Vancouver. More could have been sold if there had been space available iu the Niagara. It is expected that a. total of 150,000 boxes, nearly 4000 tons, of bntter will have been shipped to Canada and the United States by the end of the current season, and that fully 50,000 boxes will have been sold to Australia. The secretary of the New Zealand Dairy Produce Board, Mr. T. C. Brash, stated to-day that Australian butter had been shut out of the Canadian market this season owing to the operation of the Paterson scheme. The Canadian Government took up the attitude that as an export bounty was being paid on Australian butter it was entitled to charge a dumping duty. Thus, Australian butter was faced with the payment of a duty of 4 cents (2d) a lb., against 1 cent (gd) per lb. paid on New Zealand butter.
