DAIRY PRODUCE PRICES.
MARGARIN E COM PETITION,
Dairy farmers have no reason to complain of the price their produce continues to realise in the United Kingdom and locally (says the “Wellington Post.”) Butter remains steady at- 144 s to 14Ss, and oocasionally 150 s per cwt., for salted, with 158 s to and in some cases 102 s. for unsalted. Report*; received by mail sliow that high prices are not only restricting consumption of butj ter, but. are automatically “boosting” i the use of margarine, and opening the way for it in quarters where it hag | hitherto been a stranger. Manufactures of this substitute, both in Holland. Denmark, and the United Kingdom. offer great inducements to wholesalers and retailers to push the margarine, which secures handsome profits to all Handling it for sale. The demand for cheese i-. well maintained ,&t the exoedingly remunerative level now so long maintained. South j Islam] firms are now making arrangement-. to secure winter supplies from North Maud dairies.
