generally are opposed to what their

they would undo IL now II they could

ticularly, the opinion OF the Street and
Sewer Directors who gave away these

haste to consnmmatc the bargain is
proof OF this. These gentlemen doubt

present when the decision WIS arrived

STORED EGGS
Result Of an Attenips By Packers to
Corner the Market.

w -. wv Ii''ftl 49,
One Of tho most peculiar situations
10 regard 10 the egg supply over
known exists in the United States to-
day The situation is the result Of
storing eggs IL an attempt 70 control
the market. There are liable TO be
two results. One is that the people Of
the country will have cold storage
eggs foistcrcd upon shen az the new-
lyalaid product. The other is that, the
people who attempted to corner the
market will suffer heavy losses.
The beginning Of the "corncring' Of
feet oates back 70 last summer. At
that time IL is said the Chicngo mack
crs evolved the scheme OF buying mp
all the eggs that could possibly he
gathered together and storing them
until the supply became scarce AS
isusual in schemes. it was anticipated
that The scarcity world send the price
sky high. Then the stored eggs were
TO be unloaded on the market and q
fortune was to be madD,fo the pack
ers. II is figured that 100000 cases.
each case containing thirty Oxen
eggs. were stored away. To the in.
dnstrious hen, whose capacity is one
egg a day. this Is an exceedingly large
amount.
The scheme TO Control the market
fell through. There was no call for
the stored eggs! and the packers be
gan to lie awake O. nights thinking
At present the hens are beginning to
lay fresh eggs. These are coming into
the market and no one wants the
stored eggs.
A little figuring will show how cnor-
nous the loss VIII be. There are L..
100000 cases OF eggs, or 210.000,0O0
Dozen stored throughout the country.
these were bought up at 10 cents q
DOZEN The, present price. OF eggs a
dozen out3ide OF Cleveland is on an
average four, cents a dozen more thnn
the price Nat which the stored eggs
were bought. This will de- q loss Of
about 100000 TO the packers. II Is
conf that there are 5000 cases
OF stored eggs lin Cleveland: The loss
there will also be very large. Il Is re.
ported that the packers In that vicin-
ity have way out Of the dilemma. It
IS said that next summer, when the
eggs are shipped here from outlying
towns. tho stored eggs will he mixcd
with fresh ones and that ia that way
the old product will 10 sold TO the

the audience and this Good Samaritan

drop must be passed down the line.
So she wrapped it up in piece of pa.
