as vas a 3a. ket ple ter vas vas ut to cal ed ‘re an ‘h. iA Packeted butter was stocked in a larger number of shops than any other type. In about half the shops where it was stocked, it was the only type sold, but these were mostly small independent grocers and dairies. Where a bulk and a packeted butter were stocked together, the sales of the bulk butter were almost always stated to be the Rreater. In both Surveys, New Zealand butter was the predominant bulk type on the London market, particularly in the Non-Local Multiples where it was stocked in 90 per cent. of the shops. It was nearly always stocked in conjunction with another type, usually bulk-blended or packeted, and about 40 per cent. of the retailers stocking it stated that the sales at the time of the First Survey were greater than those of their other types. In the Second Survey, though the number of shops stocking New Zealand did not diminish greatly, its position as the chief type was in many cases taken by Irish or bulk-blended. _ Bulk-blended butter appeared to be more popular in London than in any other area, and though few retailers were stocking it as their only butter, it was often the chief type from the point of view of quantities sold. About half the shops stocking it were Non-Local Multiples and the rest mostly Independents. Australian butter was found chiefly in the independent shops. In the Second Survey its place was taken mainly bv Irish butter. Danish butter was found in 12 per cent. of the shops, most of which were Non-Local Multiples ; it was usually stated to be the chief type sold, with New Zealand as the second line. Other butters stocked during the First Survey were :—Dutch (15 shops) ; French (seven shops); Siberian (six shops) ; Swedish (two shops) ; and Canadian, Latvian and Ukrainian (one shop each). In the Second Survey Dutch butter was stocked by eight shops ; French (two shops) ; Siberian (13 shops) ; Swedish (five shops) ; and Polish (one shop). Prices—In London, as in other areas, the dearest types of bulk butter were those whose sales were greatest ; these were New Zealand and bulk-blended. Irish had a remarkably high average price, but in the First Survey there were too few price records and the dispersion was too great for the average to be significant. Danish was among the higher priced butters even though its sales were comparatively small, but its price relative to other types was lower in London than In any of the other areas. 1 |
