BUTTER TRADE IN DOLDRUMS
COMMODITY | FAMINE IN AFRICA COLD STORE STOCKS DECLINING t l tutrO Cress Asso-ia.iuu —fiv illtsarui J negiupli Oopyriztn.) LONDON, Sept. 15. The butter trade is still in the doldrums, but there are some signs that a slight improvement will possibly come before long. Stocks in cold store, though still very heavy, are beginning to decline, and the total afloat from Australia, New Zealand and Argentina is also falling off.
