Some -of tha brokerage interests ara trying
their utmost' to break the aoarkst for butter here.
and in fact have bees trying to. Oo aa 10 soma
time, a complete change of the previous attitude.
They are spree rllng tba report that Jog sup- 1
plies of Australian batter are eoming in- this
direction, and tori ma ting that these supplies
will com to local ereasseries. So far aa cam be
ascertained none of tha local eraamarlee have as
yet purchased a stngla cub of Autrliw butter
this sesaoaw i t . ,-. ' ..h-f. "'"'" r "
Some of thia Australian steel arrived Ui tha
California markets a short time ago but nono of
baa come in this CttreeUon. It is quite prov
able, bowaver. that hmited mmota will arrire
stese after awhile, nut tt will not .11 sly se 1
much affect upoet the local demand, or price Btt
nation, for the reason that total shipments from
the Colonist ara not likely to be heavy, because of
tha shortage in freight room and the-difficult!
securing transportation era at extreme
freight charges. . j
With higher prieee fdfteed for butterfat at
country pointa by the condense ries interests.
which will take further suppues away from tha
