BUTTER MARKET
SIBERIAN COMPETITION. LONDON, April 18. Although the consumptive demand for butter remains good, prices continue to decline steadily, as importers and retailers alike do not desire to carry stocks, and there is a general desire to keep clearing. Consequently, stocks are in the moderate compass of about 250,000 boxes, compared with 661,000 boxes a year ago. However, prospective supplies are heavy, and the Continental production is steadily increasing, so the policy of selling seems justifiable. The Empire Dairy Council announces that Siberian butter will be arriving in large quantities this year. The total is expected to amount to about 17,500 tons. This is considerably in excess of any post-war year, but the Russian imports before the revolution were very much larger. In 1916 they amounted to 41,723 tons.
