MORE HOPEFUL OUTLOOK
MARKET FOR SUTTER INCREASED CONSUMPTION (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Receivedi May 14, 11 a.m.) LONDON, May 13. Although arrivals of butter continue to be heavy, and the stocks in cold store at the end of April exceeded 1,000,£00 boxes, the consumptive demand is so good that prices in the last month have risen by about 5s a cwt. . The position from the sellers’ viewpoint looks more hopeful than for a long time past. The warm weather has given consumption a great fillip, and the demand is expected to continue throughout the summer. One contributory factor is the Increased sales of ice cream. A firm of manufacturers employing men on tricycles retailing ices in the streets reports that yesterday’s sales rose sixfold. Sales of ices by big firms and restaurants rose by' 80 per cent. Ice cream makers purchase large quantities of Australian and New Zealand butter, which they use in an emulsified form instead of cream. ~ ■ §
