PRICE OF BUTTER REDUCED
ACTION IN AUCKLAND. (United Press Association.) Auckland, August 5. The wholesale prices for butter in Auckland have been reduced by per lb and the net rates from to-day will be: Finest grade, 1/2 per lb; first, 1/1J; second, 1/1. As the guaranteed export price has been fixed for the season, the local rates, which are based on this price, will also be stabilized. Retail prices are generally 2d per lb above the wholesale rates, although some stores work on a smaller margin. No control is exercised over the local market, but the Government has power to regulate domestic prices if it wishes.
