BUTTER MARKET BETTER

CONTINENTAL SUPPLY LESS OVERSUPPLY OF EGGS LONDON, Jan. .19. The butter position is showing signs of improvement, for though the arrivals of Australian and Nc\y Zealand continue large there has been a considerable shrinkage from the Continent, largely owing lo Germany buying heavily, with the result that the total imports in December amounted to 707,063 cwt. compared with 817,060 cwt. last December. Tho consumptive demand continues excellent and cold stored stocks are now only a little over 500,000 boxes, a very material reduction compared with a few weeks ago. Another good feature is the report that the United States will require to import considerable quantities. Only small purchases have been made here yet, but the fact that inquiries are being made is regarded as a bull factor. With the return of mild weather the egg market has again collapsed, and Australians are very difficult to sell, even at the terribly low prices at which they are offered. The cold stores here arc crammed with eggs from all sources, for the imports in December reached the colossal figure of 1,820,458 long hundreds, and buyers are only operating for immediate requirements in expectation that prices will go still lower day, Wellington Saturday, Picton Monday, Nelson Tuesday and is due to arrive in Wanganui on Wednesday, January 30. sailing attain for New Plymouth, Wellington and southern ports.
