Other Foreign Buiters—Finnish and Swedish butters were sold as 
similar types to Danish and were found in the areas where Danish was 
most prevalent. Siberian butter was stocked in a few shops as a 
second or third line ; the average price in the First Survey was 1s. 61d. 
and in the second 1s. 73d. It was the cheapest butter on the market 
with the exception of Ukrainian which was sold by one large multiple 
firm at 1s. 64. in the earlier months and 1s. 74. later. Argentine butter 
was found in London and Birmingham, but in other towns it was 
rare ; the most usual price was 1s. 84. in both Surveys. 
Packeted Butter —The most usual price for packeted butters was 
2s. per pound over the whole period. The average price was about 
Is. 11d. and nine-tenths of the prices recorded were from 1s. 84. to 
2s.in the First Survey, and 1s. 94. to 2s. 14. in the Second. Non-local 
multiple shops and co-operative stores usually sold their own packeted 
butters at a price considerably below the average.
