During the decade immediately preceding the war, Danish standardized meat and dairy products had gradually assumed a leading position in London and the important cities in the eastern part of England. In 1914 forty per cent of the pork products, more than twenty per cent of the eggs and nearly one-half of all the butter imported into England were of Danish origin. In actual quantities these percentages amounted to 168,527 tons of pork, 36,119,160 dozens of eggs and 185,470,130 pounds of butter with a total value of approximately $100,000,000. The Danish producers won their position in the British markets by their far-sightedness and versatility in adapting the variety and quality of their foodstuffs to the require- ments of the consumers. It has been stated that normally the butter of no other important exporter was sold in Eng- land at such a uniformly high price as that from Denmark.
