in the afternoon. In the uncertainty of
future prices, only a hen has sufficient
confidence in the market to lay away :
stores much in excess of demand, but it
is hoped before long more normal con- {
dition will prevail with shops running to
their full capacity and dozen eggs not t
an impossible investment for people in
humble circumstances. Monday and
Tuesday, Salisbury Brothers shut down
for repairs.
