Butter Sale to Britain Cuts Canada's Surplus Stock
Agriculture Minister Harry Hays said Britain’s June tender for 15 000 long tons triggered a new butter sale to Britain, with Canada securing contracts for about 30 million pounds. Five million pounds shipped, total deliveries due by November, butter priced at 33 44 cents per pound. This sale reduces older stock as Canada faces a diminishing butter surplus amid broader economic strains and rising business liabilities.
