LONDON PRODUCE PRICES

DETAILS OF SHIPMENTS MARKETS SHOULD IMPROVE. The New’ Zealand Producers’ Cooperative Marketing Association ' has compiled figures of shipments barely arrived and afloat, from which it is inferred that statistically the market should presently improve. The shipments aTC as fellow:—

No more cheese is ' likely to be lifted in New Zealand before the end of this month, and greater ‘ interest than usual is being shown in the manufacture of butter. From the figures above quoted it seems that there will be something like a shortage of New Zealand butter and cheese ini the London market, with a corresponding improvement in prices for October. There is no change in the Wellington prioes of butter for local consumption. A Press Association message reports that the retail price of butter has been increased by a ponnv in Auckland, and is now Is lid per pound. Auckland production of butter is likely to be ' heavy. The "New Zealand Herald” reports that from July Ist to August 31st last butter,received at grading stores was 58,724 boxes, as 1 compared with 29,500 for the corresponding period of last year, an increase of 29,000 boxes already. It is thought that cheese production will show a eirglri dooreaoe in Auckland. ' BUTTE®, CHEESE, AND MEAT.
