Australian butter was stocked by about one-third of the shops in 
the First Survey, chiefly by Non-Local Multiples, nearly half of which 
were stocking it. Like New Zealand, it was generally sold as a second 
line. In the Second Survey, very few shops were stocking Australian. 
Other butters found in Birmingham were Finnish (two shops in 
both Surveys); and Ukrainian (one shop in the First Survey and 
21 in the Second). 
Prices —During the earlier months of the enquiry, New Zealand 
butter was usually sold at 1s. 7d. or 1s. 84., and Danish butter nearly 
always at 1s. 84. Most of the shops which sold a brand of packeted 
butter at Is. 10d. were Non-Local Multiples, and those at 1s. 8d. 
Co-operative Stores. In the later months the prices of nearly all 
butters rose by 1d. per 1b.
