Mr. Newton King’s weekly butter and cheese report’ from Messrs. R. an d W. Davi cl son, Ltd., of London and Glasgow, under date July 20th, 1911, is as follows: C-cntincntal Butters. The market is distinctly firm, and nil choicest qualities are quickly cleared. There is, however, a considerable quantity of heated butters coming forward, and merchants find considerable difficulty in clearing these. Over the greater part of our country the heat still continues, and pastures are now showing signs of the dry weather of the last two or three weeks. Advices from Copenhagen yesterday indicate that the market thero continues firm; and the quotation today has been declared 2 kroner np. banish and Swedish. —The total shipments to this country tins weeV show a further decrease of 1254 casks. Choicest quality met with a good demand and cleared promptly at 120 s to 121 s. Heated and secondary qualities were difficult to move. Prices for those grades wore very irregular.. Siberian.—The total arrivals were again about 20,000 casks, but from now forward the quantity, will steadily decrease. The market has been fairly active, and all grades show an improvement of Is to 2s per ewfc. .in price, choicest quality 104 s to 106 s, choice 100 s to 102 s, good medium 96s to 98s, secondary 92s to 945. Our advices from Siberia indicate i i ■ a t they* have not yet nacl any relief from the drought, and prices there ie.man very high. French.—Snppl’es coir.jiig forward are still very small. Values in France continue very high, and we believe there is a possibility that before the end of this veek a further advance will have taken place. Irish Creairrsr y Butter. Owing to the dry weather, coupled with the extreme heat which they have been having over the greater part of Ireland, the market is already showing a considerable decrease. In consequence, the demand' for strictly choicest quality exceeds the supply, and prices are, therefore, very firm. Tip-top salted may be quoted at 112 s to 114 s. choicest unsalted 114 s. to 115 s, creamery not answering the description of choicest is difficult to move and prices are irregular, 104 s to 110 s, according to condition. Colonial Butters. Australian.—The arrivals this week have been somewhat larger, comprising the Malwa with 3500 boxes and the Rippingham Grange with 11,900 boxes. The market continues very firm, and all arrivals are being promptly cleared, choicest quality 106 s, exceptionally Is to 2s more for favourite factories; choice quality from 102 s to 104 s. 'Saltless, is by no means as active as dnring the past few weeks, and good value is obtainable at 100 s to 104 s, fancy descriptions 108 s to 110 s. Canadian.—These have met with a very brisk demand, caused by Die higher cables coming from Canada. Cnoicest coloured 58s to 595, choicest white 57s to 58s. New Zealand.—Stocks on spot are now very small. Prices remain firm at 60s to 61s, for choicest white and coloured. Young, Hobbs, and Co.
