BUTTER CONSUMPTION
(Press. Assn.—
SATIATION POINT REACHED
By Telegraph — Copyright).
Rec. Aug. 24, 7.45 p.m. Sydney, August 24. Speaking at the science congress, Mr. J. Stephens, of New Zealand, Said the potential supplies of butter in the near future are much greater than at present, and even assuming there is a rise in price levels, it seems improbable that butter prices would rise comparable with general prices. Limiting factors to this conclusion, whether there is increased consumption of butter in Great Britain, or new markets, it would appear that the point of consumptive satiety had been reached. Unless Germany, which was the only other really good market reduced her protective tariff, there was no large European outlet for butter, neither was there much likelihood of .substantial markets for dairy produce in the East for a considerable time. Mr. Stephens expressed the opinion that larger quantities of butter are likely to be consumed in Great Britain in the next few years, bu^ only at a substantial reduction in price.
