IMPORTED BUTTER
BOXES INSTEAD OF TUBS
(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Buu Cable.)
LONDON, Alay 5. Mr Brigg, retiring president of the Manchester Wholesale Provision, sug-’ gosts that the Government compel all imported butter to be packed in 56 pound boxes, instead of tubs. He points out that until recently Continental butter fetched 6d a pound over New Zealand best, though there is no difference in value. Traders explain that the difference in the price is solely due to women in certain districts, who do not believe they are getting their money’s worth unless they see the butter ladled frqni the tubs. They always thought the best came therefrom, and cannot change old-established habits. Air Brigg adds that New Zealand cannot ship in tubs owing to freight charges and the difficulty of stowing.
