COLD STORAGE EGGS
INCREASE IN VALUE

Owing to the continued cold weather
the price Of cold storage eggs has been
advanced from % cents to 30 cents.
This rise went into effect yesterday
and 1t Is probable that the price will go
even higher should the low temperature
continue. The usual consumption OF cold
storage eggs Is constantly decreasing
the supply and there are practically no
fresh eggs coming from the country dis
trfcts to replenish the market.
AS long as this condition continues,
there will be constant rise in the price
of cold storage eggs.
