BUTTER FOR AUSTRALIA
| NEW ZEALAND BUTTER PRE- ' F’ERRED. Owing to the shortage of supplies of ’'choicest" butter, moderate importations into Victoria have been made from Queensland. Victorian importers, however, have gone farther afield, and a quantity of choicest butter has been purchase in New Zealand for shipment to that State. T' Reports in Melbourne are that the quality of Queensland butter is not meeting with the approval of the trade. Sellers of butter in Queensland havo never been noted for treating Victoria otherwise than in a strictly business spirit when it has been necessary for Victoria-to nnggient supplies of choicest butter bv importing ’from other States. Queensland suffered' a similar experience not long ago, when it sought to force Victoria to pay famine rates, and became indignant at the prospect of New Zealand competition, and there was an out cry from interests for an increased duty on Dominion butter.
