Prices.—For Danish butter 1s. 84., 1s. 94. and 1s. 104. were usual 
in the earlier part of the enquiry; later, most prices were from 1s. 94. 
to 1s. 11d. New Zealand butter was retailed at 1s. 84. in May and 
rose to 1s. 9d. towards the end of June. 
Finnish butter was chiefly sold in Leeds, at ls. 104. or 1s. 11d. 
in June and July, and at 2s. in September. 
In the Scotland area, 415 shops were visited ; 150 in Edinburgh 
and 265 in Glasgow. About half were Independents and half Multiples 
in each case. The First Survey took place from June 24th to July 12th 
when the Irish season was well advanced and very little change was 
observed at the time of the Second Survey in September. The figures 
in the table are taken from the First Survey.

Danish was the predominant butter observed in the area. In over 
40 per cent. of the shops in both Surveys it was the only butter 
stocked, and in practically all cases where other types were stocked 
in addition, Danish sales were stated to be considerably the largest. 
It was the staple butter in all types of shop except dairies. and even 
amongst these nearly half were stocking it.
