Butter glut worsens as government price props fade
Butter prices decline as government support wanes and demand remains weak. The Agriculture Department notes a prior surge to 1930 percent above normal, now just 10 to 15 percent above, with little chance of swift disposal of the surplus. Benson says moving the surplus at low prices would backfire. The butter hoard continues to grow.

Price Stability Lets World Strain Ease
The article notes world price levels rose through the Korean War, then plateaued after October at about 115 percent of the 1947-49 average. A spring dip to 114.6 percent reflects tax cuts on appliances and travel, with defense costs hinted but not yet decisive, offering a brief pause before potential future changes. The tone emphasizes relief at steady prices and a chance to catch our breath amid uncertainties.
