THE BUTTER MARKET
NOT SO FIRM I United I’refiP Association l!v Electrlo Te I eg ra ph—Copy rich 11 (Received 15th November, 12.40 p.m.) LONDON, 14th November. The expected break in the butter market may be more drastic than most traders bargained for. A complete wave of pessimism swept the markets on Monday, and holders became most anxious that sellers’ prices should be reduced two shillings at the time in an attempt to find new business. Prices are now largely nominal. Australian importers are finding difficulty in clearing current consignments, and there seems no doubt that higher retail prices in Britain have affected consumption. Heavier arrivals early in December may bring di wn prices a further 20s before Christmas. Danish is also lower. Germany refusing to pay full prices.
