RUSSIAN BUTTER
THE SHIPMENT TO LONDON COMMENT BY EXPERTS (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, August 2. The Russian butter shipment is supposedly a sequel to the “ Buy Empire products ” campaign. Experts comment that it is a pity that once the present lot is uncased there is nothing to distinguish it except the quality, the proof of which it best shown by the fact that Russian butter is still significantly 12s per hundredweight below antipodean.
The agitation by newspapers against Siberian butter continues, stated a previous message, alhough the imports thereof were unimportant, last month’s only amounting to 30,584 cwt out of a total of 723,165 cwt. In the face of this outcry a number of leading multiple stores were advertising that they did not supply Russian butter, and one of the largest blending firms in the country announced in trade newspapers that “ we do not buy or sell or handle any Russian butter.”
