EGGS WERE VERY SCARCE
It Was Impossible to Get Any
on Friday. .m
WAS A VERlTABLE FAMINE
The Price Goes Up From $5 SO to $l1
and 1t Was Even Impossible
to Buy Any at That
Figure.

There was during the past week in An
aconda an egg famine, which, in this Len
ten season, created quite stir. not only
among the restaurant and boarding house
keepers. but also among private families
of the town. The price of eggs for the
past week was more than double the us
ual price, and on certain days there were
many places where the stock was ex-
hausted.
The first indication that there would be
scarcity of eggs in the city came about
nine or ten days ago, when the price,
which was then $3.50 a ease, began to rise
and the next day the price had gone up
to IS per case. That evening case of
eggs could not be bought in the city for
day the price augmented another 80 cents
and the following day was a terror for
the restaurant keepers who had not pur
chased on the previous day, for the price
OF eggs had gone up to $40. The price was
brought in this city TO s11 per case, and
there it remained for three days.
When the eggs did reach that figure the
prices in many of the restaurants were in
creased, and in many of these establish
ments could be seen signs which read.
Ham and Eggs To-day 10 Cents Extra
and in some others No Eggs To-day
These places took down their signs or
put up new ones on Saturday night which
read: "Ham and Eggs To-day at the Us
ual Prices" or Eggs To-day" The cause
of this was the arrival in the town late
Saturday afternoon of a large consgn-
ment of cases of eggs from California.
This shipment was soon sold out at the
rate of $S.75 per case, the lucky ones buy
ing up all they could for fear that the
price would again take an upward turn
A restaurant keeper, when asked about
the egg famine, said:
at was really what you can call an egg
famine, and ii was bad one at that. On
Friday evening i sent a man all around
the town to get me some eggs, hut he
came back and reported that he had
searched the whole town but had been I'M
able to find any eggs. ] sent him out
again on Saturday morning and he re-
ported the same condition of affairs. [
tell you it would have been no fun if
there had not been a consignment of eggs
come in the city on Saturday after
noon"
