BUTTER IN COOL STORES.
The quantity of butter in cool Btora is increasing and this should be welcome news to local consumers. The expansion in supplies may be seen in the following figures:—March 31st, 1914, 65,333 boxes; 1913, 44,623 boxes; April, 72,211—54,870; April 30th, 88,062—64,254. During the past month the quantity in store increased by 22,729 boxes, while for thß corresponding month last ytar the increase totalled 19,631. There is still the current month's output to come into the calculation of winter supplies. The increase is remarkably large in view of the fact that many factoriea that were last year making butter are this year turning out cheeße. Effortß have been made to get rid of the butter in outside markets, and one or two small lines have been sold to South Africa, but the demand is not very pronounced. There should be ample supplies to meet the demands of local consumers during the winter months, and prices may drop.
