LONDON CHEESE MARKET. ■ It appears from advices received by a local firm from a largo firm of commission.agents in London that the cheese, market is not in the satisfactory state that would be inferred from the prices quoted in the cables. In referring to tlld-matter the London agents declare that the Canadian cheese are in the Ija'n'ds' of Montreal houses, and as they have paid high wages they are disinrlinna to Jet them go at a sacrifice, otherwise New Zealand oheese would not have fetched the nrices cabled out. London buyers look forward to much' lower prices after Christmns, unless trade improves materially. There is not the shortage of English cheese that there was last -year, and stocks of Canadian, both in London and Canada, are in excess of last season.
