BUTTER IN BRITAIN
HIGH CONSUMPTION MAINTAINED Discussing tbo butter market when in Melbourne recently, Mr E. Warren, managing director of J. and J. Lonsdale and Company (London) Limited, said that if present low prices con-, tinned for Australian and New Zealand butter, distributors in Great Britain would be able to maintain the increased consumption of butter by the poorer classes. A few years ago 5,000 tons of butter and 5,000 tons of margarine were consumed in Groat Britain each week. At present the weekly consumptin was 9,000 tons of butter and 3,000 tons of margarine. Mr Warren said that present low prices on the London market had been caused chiefly by the increase of supplies and the narrowing of European markets by quotas and other restrictions. The only means of meeting the change was the maintenance of prices low enough to stimulate sales to the poorer- classes. Regularity of supply was essential.
