DANISH BUTTER
 SHIPPED TO NEW YORK
Europe Crying For Fats, But Danes Listen to Dollars "N1adc in
 America''

New York, Jan. 12.-While Europe is carrying for fats, Danish butter is being shipped into the New York market for the first time in five years, dealers here reported today. The first shipment of 112, 1000 pounds arrived from Copenhagen two weeks ago and it had since been followed by another shipment of 144.4S0 pounds with more on the way. Initial wholesale prices ran up to 70 cents pound but they have since followed the down. ward trend of the American market and the butter is now selling for 64 F and 65 cents a pound.
 fThe butter is paid for here in American money and the high prices received for ii Dy Danish manufac- turers because of the difference in exchange rates, which are said to average 20 per cent. in their favor, is believed to be responsible for the shipment to the local market. There is a heavy demand for butter and other fats in central Europe but the higher prices obtainable in the Amer ican market account for the heavy exports to this country.
