NEW ZEALAND PRODUCE IN LONDON.

United Preßß Association — By Electric Telegraph

Wellington, October 31

The Agricultural Dtpirtmenb is m receipt] of A report, dated September 23 from Mr H. O. Cameron, Inspector of Produce m London. He says he has jast spent some time m Scotland, and waa extremely pleased to fiad that on all hands the quality of both New Zealand butter and cheese waa most favor ably commented upon, and that the distribu tion of these articles now extends over a wide area, which undoubtedly will be steadily increasing. Complaints were few m number and the general verdict waa that New Zealand butter was improving ami gaining favor with consumers. Objection was sometimes taken to his advocacy of 'he oblong butter box being used m New Zea land, as distinctive from the cube box i<< use m Australia ; bat he is perfectly satisfied from enquiry and observation that there is do ground whatever for the objection to the oblong box He is confirmed m his opinion that New Zealand producers should decidedly aclbere to a form of package which will be a distinguishing feature of the production of their colony. Oninions were also favorable regarding New Zealand cheese, and duriog last season a large portion of this export from the colony went to Scotland for distribution. He expects to hear of a good demand from Scotland next year for New Zealand dairy produce of good quality. Unfortunately the growing demand and increasing distribution Doted m dairy produce cannot be recorded of New Zealand meat. The distribution of New Zealand meat throughout Scotland is infinitesmal, and it seems to be obtained only for customers who have asked specially for it. New Zealand mutton cannot com pete with River Plate mutton m neighbour hoods usually supplied by the latter, as m these districts the quality ie scarcely of so much importance as cheapness bo long as the quality is not too inferior, and m thi« River Plate mutton is improving. In lue interviews with high class butchers selling home killed meat he found that they have no desire to introduce New Zealand mutton to their customers. They acknowledge the merit« of New Zealand meat, but say there is no demand tor it amongst their customers. and they certainly don't w=»nt to creats it.

He says there is really * good fi-ld for the distribution of Nrw Zeiland mutton and lamb m Scotland amongst the bet tter classes, if only proper means were taken to introduce the meat to thsir notion m an attractive and thorough manner. With regard to the weekly produce cable from London, Mr Cameron eayfl the quotations cabled shall be the average price for tho wrnk m London for choicest quality of New Z iv and Gutter, and the finest qtm'ify of New Zealand cheeße, or, until New Zealand produce i 9 on market there, for similar quality from Canada. The Canadian production i? vsry s ; tnilar to that received from New Zealeml, and he trusts that therefore this will bs svisfactory. There would be no advantage m quoting the highest and lowest p i i'j<s for all g artes. Satisfactory information jb contained m the quotation of the average price for or,e stipulated quality, and therefore each producer, having received this guidarca, must use his own judgment m valuing his make accordingly.

A Police i?py, who had the hardihood to make his way into a thieves' kitchen m one of the worßt districts of South London was somewhat roughly handled a week or two ago. It appears that ha happened to be known to one of the habitues of the placr, and the result was that ho narrowly escaped with his life. Still more recently a man m South London was atttacked by indiges tion. Headache, loss of appetite, and low ppirita all joined m the attack, and the poor fellow thought he could not escape with his ] life, when Borne true friend came to his rescue and recommended him to take Holloway's Pills. Be took the advice and the Pills with the result that he is now a happy and a healthy man.

Will ba at .Newma./a Stablts tvpry Sat'-rtl.'y. ! King of Quality is a dapple bay, rising six yea s old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taleri. He is a colt of groat eubetanco and power, with mai y points to recom mend him to a breeder ; has splendid feet ! and pasterns, slso great bone, cl^an and flowing, with n : c 3 silky hair— the true i badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound constitution. Hia sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rao, from -cotland, by Areyle (25 i 7 vol vi), dam Darling, by Prince of V ales (673, vol i), grand dam Maggie, by Lochend Champion ' (448, vol i). i Lion KJng was first at Dunedin Show as I a three-year-old, first afc Dunedin m 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his pro- geny. Lion King's dam Sc >teh Annie (imported from Scotland, 343, N Z S B). was a mare belonging to an exceedingly | favorable strain of blood. She was shown I In New Zealand four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, SC S B), grand eire Ivanhoe lat (imported ; 113, NZ S B). He was got by the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs no comment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no com- ment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever j la ded m New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Qae n of Quality, (608, N Z S B) show yard career is so well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details ; suffice it to 6ay, she has taken fourteen first prizes and seven champions ; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition show, Dunediu. This career has stamped her as a mare of unusual excellence ; her sire is the far famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbeaten horse. Qaeen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, S.B ) King of Qaality as a yearling gained first prize at Taiori show and second at Dunedhj. Jt will be seen from the ahove trufc King of Qaality is descended from the purest strains of prizu-taklng ClyJes- Hale blood, and cannot fail to muke a mmc for himself aa a sire.
