American butter goes to London market signals strong export demand
Washington reports on a third experimental shipment of butter to London by the agriculture department. Minnesota creamery butter in six pound boxes and tubs, and Massachusetts creamery butter in small tubs, were sent in June. Transport costs and refrigeration limited some routes, but London retailers paid 14 to 18 1 2 cents per pound, with end prices around 24 to 28 and 6 cents locally. Western butter showed healthy profit margins for dealers, while New England butter sold for less in London. Consumer prices reflected scarce supply and high quality.
