BUTTER IN AUSTRALIA.
A DECREASED OUTPUT,
It is declared that values for New Zealand butter on the London market this season will largely depend on the volume of tho Australian output. If this bo so, then the outlook for our people is distinctly good, as the Australian output shows a heavy decline, compared to their past seasons' production. Up to the end of the first week of this month (from the Ist July) tho total Commonwealth export was 1206 tons, against 2816£ tons for the corresponding period of the preceding season, 4201£ tons in the 1910-11 similar period. The decrease in tho main exporting State, Victoria, is remarkable. In tho period referred to Victoria shipped only 525 tons, against 2350 tons in the corresponding period of last year. This means that Victoria is almost entirely responsible for the falling oit. xihj iL^,.^^, iwr the other States are os folLsws: New South Wales, 1912-13 season, 368 tons; 1911-12, 244 i tons; Queensland, 1912----13, 301 tons; 1911-12 1014 tons; South Australia, 1912-13, 12 tons; 1911-12, 14 tons.
