(Per Pres« Association.) WELLINGTON, this day
The New Zealand Producers’ Cooperative Marketing Association has received the following cable from London dated 2nd May: The butter market is slow. New Zealand, salted 170 sto 1725, unsalted 176 s to 178 s ; Australian, 160 s to 1625; Argentine, 148 s to 1565: Danish, 2025; Dutch, 186 s. The Danish price is due to the Continental demand curtailing their supplies for this market. The cheese market is quiet. New Zealand white and colored, 54s to 655, Stocks of New Zealand and Canadian held cheese totalled 134.000 crates, not including 10,000 now discharging ex Alatakana and Remuera. At the same date last, year the market price was 945, and the stocks were only 38.CC0 crates. The heavy stocks are depressing the market, and buyers are only taking daily or weekly requirements, in anticipation of lower prices. ATATAWAI STOCK SALE.
