dian Export Journal The trade that
has been opened with Canada for years
past seems now to be established on
healthy basis. The greater portion Of
the shipments enter at Liverpool and
Glasgow, the reason being that it costs
more to ship them to London direct or
forward them by rail from those parts
than it does to consign them straight
to their proper destination. Consider
able supplies Of eggs for Immediate
use are scattered over the northern
counties, where they realize fuller
rates than il disposed of in London,
In the metropolis the buying is usu-
ally Of a strongly depreciative char
acter, with a very large assortment
always on hand.
There is some complaint among egg
dealers in Liverpool as to the poor as
sistance given them by shippers No
fewer than 1,144,O22, 44O eggs, of the
value of $14,807 $50, were imported by
England during the first nine months
of the past year, and a large proper
ton of these was entered at Liverpool
1t is odd that the trade should alIege
that it is not SO we'll served by the
shippers there as at other ports A
Liverpool correspondent of the Lon
don Grocer" asserts that numerous in
stances of this can be quoted. About
the end of November last prominent
Liverpool merchant was notified of the
arrival of a consignment of Canadian
eggs by a steamer which had arrived
in the dock on Monday. On THURSDAY
the eggs were sent for early in the
morning. The carter waited a whole
day without getting a load The same
thing occurred on Friday. On Satur-
day, after waiting until noon, the man
went off to load from another vessel
upon which a consignment of eggs
had arrived meantime. There was nCt
much regard shown for the fact that
eggs are of a perishable nature. 1t is
interesting and instructive to note that
twenty-four hours after this Canadian
steamer had arrived in Liverpool
consignment of eggs was shipped al
Hamburg, discharged at Grimsby, plac
ed on the railway there, and delivered
in Liverpool, Birmingham, Wigan and
other places in time for Saturdays
market. According to 1.-THE Grocer
all this time the Canadian eggs which
had arrived full day previously in
Liverpool were snugly ensconced in
the hold of the vessel lying alongside
the quay It is not particularly cred
liable to those who ought to be fore
most in fostering the trade to Liver
pool to neglect the interests of such

trade. Canadian shippers of eggi

ing the prompt delivery of their shin
ments. Great Britain imports nearly
30,000,O00 dozen of eggs per annum
Canada cannot afford to neglect such
market.

that is, that our people had too much
of the Yankee in their business meth
DDS in connection with England when
exporting butter and cheese. says Ell
gin Dairy Report The matter came
up incidentally as to the quality OF
goods from the reason that Dox
maker had sent to factory Where
this gentleman was having butter
packed, some boxes made of wood that
had both flavor and taste. He refused
to accept them, believing that IN the
end, although a saving of two or three
cents on the box might be had, ne
would probably lose a cent or two on
each pound of butter, which Woulu
not be good investment. The CONVEX
sation drifted into the quality OF goods
heretofore sent to England from our
American market as a representative
of the quality of both butter and
cheese made in this country. or course
filed cheese came in for discussion,
as it always does in that direction,
showing that the quality of cheese sent
over there as full cream cheese, Delng
filled or sophisticated with lard, had
done more to degrade the reputation
Of American cheese than any one thing
and that the dealers over there take
advantage of that, and whenever they
find a bad lot either of English or
Canadian cheese, they label 1t Amerl-
can and mark it at low prices, and
refer their customers to the fact that
they cannot get good cheese from
America, and these are fair sample
of the goods. 1t is so in the butter
line. We have been sending over to
a large extent nothing but low grade
butter that would sell there possibly
for a cent a pound profit more in pro-
portion than the better grades, and
the English dealers had come to be-
lieve that they could get no good but
ter in this country; but now that
change has been made it rests en-
tirely with the dealers and shippers on
this side to build up and sustain rep
utation for high class goods in the
English markets that will stand us in
good stead not only at present but in
the future. Take for example the DAN
ish dairy industry; it is fostered by
the government and in such way that
the maker or manufacturer who does
not come up to the requirements OF
grade, both in regard to the butter
itself and the method OF packing, that
he loses caste at once. and not only
that, but he loses money at the same
time. This is a most effectual way of
curing either shippers or manufacture
ers of careless or slovenly ways. So
with exporting dairy products from
this country. Now that we have got
ten rid of the filed cheese question,
and it must go forward labeled so
that the people who buy it will know

ADVICE from Canada.

Following are creamery items that
appear in a Canada exchange:
The people of Great Britain are
great butter eaters. They like theirs
mildly sailed and not highly colored.
If the creamerymen of the United
States do not secure their share of this
fine butter market, they will be wick
eddy negligent, that's all. Lack OF
cleanliness is the cause of seven
eighths of all the bad butter, milk and
cheese upon the market. Never let
steam go directly into milk to heat it.
This spoils the flavor of the butter
that is made from the milk. When
butter is the size of grains of wheat in
the churn draw off the buttermilk care
fully and wash and salt the butter. A
fine wire strainer held under the but
termilk vent will catch any particles
of butter that try to escape. In hiring
buttermaker let the proprietor of a
creamery require him to give a guar
antee that he will make first-c1ass but
ter. Then let them on their part give
him a guarantee that they will furnish
him with nothing but first-class milk
to work on and first-class machinery
in the creamery besides.
