In April and May, 1929, 1s. 84. was the most usual price for all the 
main bulk butters ; during June, New Zealand and Danish rose to 
1s. 94., but Australian and Bulk-Blended were most frequently sold 
at 1s. 84. over the whole period. Irish was generally 1s. 94. when it 
came into season. 
The range of prices for packeted butters was wide in all types of 
shop, but dairies appeared on the whole to stock lower priced brands 
than grocers. 
Bristol and South Wales. 
In the Bristol and South Wales area, 399 shops were visited ; 
150 in Bristol, 100 in Cardiff, 46 in Newport, and 103 in Swansea.
