THE BUTTER MARKET
‘ CONSUMPTION IN BRITAIN. ’ MAINTAINING HIGH FIGURE. I Discussing the butter market when in Melbourne recently, Mr. F. Warren, man-aging-director of J. and J. Lonsdale and Company (London), Limited, said that if present low prices continued for Australian and New Zealand butter, distributors in Great Britain would be able to maintain the increased consumption of butter by the poorer classes. A few years ago 5000 tons of butter and 5000 tons of margarine were consumed in Great Britain each week. At present the weekly consumption was 9000 tons of butter and 3000 tons of margarine. Mr. Warren said that present low prices on the London market had been caused chiefly by the increase of supplies and the narrowing of European markets by quotas and other restrictions. The only means of meeting the change was the maintenance of prices low enough to stimulate sales to the poorer classes. Regularity of supply was essential.
