New Zealand Butter in Australia.

A letter received by • Hamilton (Auckland) merchant from a Queensland firm with res* pact to New Zeal sod's batter and cheese export contains some interesting information. It rays that the Victorian farmers and dairy, men do a large and profitable trade with Queensland; but, unlike eome Waikato cheese end butter factories, they are vary careful in the get-np of their butter. “ Tour people, says the totter, "are a long way behind. Together with this ■ lot of year faulty end inferior kinds come into this market from Sydney, so that when really good New Zealand stuff can be offered it to very slow to move." One lot of cheese from Waikato, the 1 etter says, nearly rained the ■ale of New Zetland cheese this last season, and a sample of Canterbury butler, though instructions had been given to send only first class quality, nearly did the same for the New Zeeland batter market in Queens* land, the batter not being dairy made batter at all, bot promiscuous lots of made up stuff. The totter points ont that tbs oost of a little care and honesty should bo but a small matter of consideration for New Zee* land farmers and factories if they really value the large and profitable market Qaamw* land affords them. Some of the beet cheese from New Zealand comes in round bettoa oases the same shape as the obsess.
