LONDON CIIEESD MARKET.
The London Cheese Board olosed for
the season on Saturday with a rather
light market, considering that it was
the last of the year. Mr. Mitchell of
the Dominion Government's Depart-
ment of Agriculture addressed the
board in regard to the improvement of
curing rooms in factories. He exhib-
ited a plan, showing how the rooms
could be kept cool by the placing of
a cold air duet under ground from the
faotory a hundred feet or more dis-
tant. The plan was thought to be very
suitable as it would fill a want long
felt by many factorymen. Mr. Mitchell
has just returned from a trip to the
North.Weet.
Tho amount of business transacted
on the London Cheese Board this sea-
son shows a considerable decrease com-
pared with some previous years, The
number of boxes sold is over 31,500,
which, at an average of 70 pounds per
box, makes the amount of cheese sold
over 2,211,000 pounds, placing London
among the leading cheese centres in
the Province. The sales on the board,
however, do not include the entire
make ot the factories connected with
the market. In the early part of the
season the salesmen frequently pre-
ferred to make private sales, expects
ing thereby to get better prices, and
in this way much cheese was made
and sold without ever being boarded
at the market. The season opened on
May 14, and a meeting was held every
Saturday afternoon. On eight market
days no bnsiness was transacted. The
opening price for the season was 8
cents' but afortnight later the buyers
would only pay from 61 to 6e cents
for what little cheese was offered
Tubo weeks later on June 11, prices pas-
sed the 7 -cent mark, and on June 25
they had reached 71 Dents. Not until
September 10 however, was 8 cents
again paid. Nine Dents and over was
paid on six occasions—sept. 24, Oct. I,
Nov. 5, Nov. 19, Nov. 26, and Dec. 3—
for a total of 3,938 boxes. The top fig-
ure, 9 5 16 cents was paid on Nov. 5 for
250 boxes of white cheese. More sales
were effected at 8 5-8 cents than at any
other figure, 4,500 boxes changing
hands at that price. On the heaviest
market days the sales were:—Sept. 17,
4,287 boxes; Oat. 29, 559 boxes; and
Nov. 19, 2, 366 boxes; June 18, 1,740
boxes; Sept. 3, 1,433 boxes; Sept. 10,
1,640 boxes;Sept. 24, 140 boxes; Oct.
22, 1,726 boxes; Nov. 5, 1,520 boxes ;
and Nov. 26, 1,543 boxes.
