from Denmark. After due allowance is made for possible modifications
of this nature, however, it is apparent that in the Manchester,
Yorkshire and Scotland areas, Danish butter is the staple type.
~The geographical position of Birmingham appears to be reflected
In the returns. It will be seen that though the majority of the shops
were stocking Danish butter, a relatively large percentage also were
stocking New Zealand and Australian.
The figures for London, and for Bristol and South Wales
demonstrate the comparative popularity of Empire, packeted and
blended butters in the South.
Second Survey.—The corresponding returns for the Second Survey
reflect fairly closely the seasonal variation in supply. Danish remained
much the same everywhere and the other foreign butters showed
little significant change. Irish butter increased in most areas at the
expense of New Zealand and Australian. :

A comparison of the results of the two Surveys is shown in Table 8.
Between the two Surveys, the number of shops stocking Irish butter
Almost doubled, the number stocking New Zealand dropped to
four-fifths of the previous total, and the number stocking Australian
to one-third. The resultant drop in the total numbers stocking
New Zealand and Australian butters was somewhat greater than the
increase in the numbers stocking Irish. The figures for farm butter
and for bulk blended and packeted butters were almost i
