BUTTER PREFERRED.

LESS MARGARINE SOLD. POSITION IN BRITAIN. Further evidence of tbc decline in the British consumption of margarine and the rise iu butter consumption is given in a recent issue of the "Grocer," a leading British provision trade journal. A prominent multiple store company reports that its sales of margarine have iallen 50 per cent, whereas its sales of butter, in spite of the recent advance in price, were about 00 per cent above normal for the time of the year. The companj s view is that margarine, owing to the low price sot by the manufacturers in <s1 a '* attempt to regain their trade, has 'lost caste" with the public, "as they cannot conceive that a really good, edible product can be manufactured and sold at .ia a lb." , . There is every reason to believe, indeed, that with the active educational propaganda which is being carried out on all sides for the consumption of milk and milk foods of recognised quality, the British consumption of dairy produce ot both home and Dominion manufacture will continue to increase.
