Further Notes on the Butter Industry.

Mr. Mynott, one of the chief butter purchasers, has supplied information as to the quantities exported from his warehouse.

The quantity from November 1st, 1885 to May 31st, 1886, was 4,066 kegs, not including boxes. At present; there are 1,000 kegs on hand, and he expects to ship before the season is over, another 2,000 kegs.

Total value of years' shipment, £16,573 5s.

There are many other shippers, whose combined returns would increase this by some five or six-fold. Id computing these amounts, no cognizance has been taken of page 41 numerous boxes of various sizes that are weekly sent to Auckland and elsewhere, for immediate consumption.

By a recent order sent away, for five separators, the working of some large factories appear to be under contemplation.
