NEW ZEALAND’S PRODUCE

MARKET PROSPECTS IN ENGLAND.

MERCHANT’S OPTIMISTIC REVIEW.

Bj Telegraph.—Pres» Awoclttlon, - Auckland, Dec. SO.

According to Mr. J. B. Mac Ewan, * dairy produce merchant of Wellington, wh • returned by tho Aorangi on Sunday, tho market for New Zealand butter is extending in spite of competition. The sales outside the London market ar© increasing, and a large market is awaiting development in tho north of Eng-. land. . • ...

Direct shipments would help to extend New Zealand markets in that quarter, and better and more regular ship-/ ping services were necessary to keep New Zealand primary products to-the fore. Faster services might prove more costly, but Mr. Mac Ewan thought that regular steamers running direct to the English market ports would, prove of great assistance to exporters. If there were heavy exports from Aus-., tralia a drop in prices would bo likely,, though there was very considerable goodwill towards New Zealand s primary products. ~ " ■ '/:Os It a] reared to him that New Zealand producers >vere not closely enough tn touch with English requirements, prin-p cipally in regard to texture and flavour . of cheese. There was an exceptionally j good market for cheese, but it must be to the taste of the market. - x’> New Zealand frozen meat continued to, be in good demand, and there were excellent prospects for the development of. a market for frozen pork in right sizesj and weights. /; • - ' — ■ ——
