BILLIONS OF STORED EGGS,
The Result of an Attempt by Packers q
Corner the Market.
cleveland Plain Dealer. }

One OF the most peculiar situations In
regard to the egg supply ever known ex-
lists In the United states today. The stu
tion is the result Of storing eggs in an
attempt to control the market. There are
liable to. be two results. One is that the
people OF the country will have cold stor-
age eggs foisted upon them as the newly
laid product. The other is that tho peo.
ple who attempted to "corner" the mar
ketwill suffer heavy losses.
The beginning Of the 'cornsring"
effort dates back to last summer. At
tha. time, 1t is raid, the Chicago packers
evolved ths soehme OF buying up all the
eggs that could possibly be gathered to-
gether and storing them until the supply
became scarce. As Is usual In schemes,
IL was anticipated that the scarcity would
send the price sky high. Then the storsd
eggs were TO be uploaded on the market
and a fortune was to be made for the
hackers. 1t is figured that 1000 900 cases.
each case containing Thirty dozen eggs.
were stored away. To the Industrious
hen, whose capacity is one egg day,
his Is an exceedingly ly large amount.
The scheme TO control the market fell
through. There was no call for the stored
eggs and the packers began 10 lie awake
o. nights thinking. At present the hens
are beginning to lay fresn eggs. These
are coming into the market and no one
WA nts the stored eggs.
A little figuring will show how enor-
nous the los will be. There are COZ, 000
cases OF eggs, or 2l0, 900. COO dozen, stored
throughout the country. These were
bought up ct 15 cents q dozen. rhe prrs-
snt price OF eggs dozen outside OF
Cleveland is on an average four cents
less a dozen than the price at which tbs
stored eggs were bought This Will
mean a loss OF about o, 4o0. coo to the
packers. 1t IL copjrctrred that there are
6, COO cases of the stored oggs In this city.
The loss hers will also be very large.
1t is reported that the packers In this
vicinity have a way out OF the dilemma.
Il 10 said that next summer when eggs
are shipped here from outlying towns, the
stored eggs will be mixed with fresh ones
and that In that way the old product will
be sold to the unsuspscting pu blic.
