Australia Demands More Butter

AuSITdHd CeH'dfiuS WOFC DuttCts
The strong California export demand
for butter is keeping the Portland mar
ket very firm and higher range of
prices for cubes in the near future is
probable. The belief prevails in the
trade that the /, 500, 900 pounds of but
ter already shipped from San Francisco
to Australia will find its way later to
England. 1t is the understanding here
that Australia butter shippers con-
tracted to supply the British govern
ment with large quantity of butter
to make up for the deficiency in Dan
ish shipments, and, being unable to
complete the contract because of the
Australian drouth, they have turned to
the Pacific Coast for supply. What
puzzles the trade is why the American
butter, if intended for England, is not
sent direct to London instead of by
way of Sydney.
Egg buying prices were unchanged
with the opening of the week. The
poultry and dressed meat markets were
quiet and unchanged.
