The "Telegraph's" San Francisco correspondent says the flooding of the markets on the Pacific Coast with New Zealand butter has had a disastrous effect on the sales of American produce. Prices have fallen to the record level of 22 cents per 1b wholesale for the best creamery butter. Violent criticism is made respecting certain consignments of New Zealand butter. A Seattle firm states that if New Zealand expects to do a considerable amount of butter busi-» ness she must make radical changes in the matter of inspecting. "When butter is bought under a New Zealand 'Government certificate as being strictly firsts and it is found to be seconds or thirds, it naturally causes firms to buy sparingly. The remedy lies in having an expert to follow up the inspectors and examine the butter before exportation. Instances have been found where butter has been held for thirty days after the Government stamp was put on. It should be exported while fresh.
