EGGS ARE TOO PLENTIFUL.
Crisis in Affairs of Chicago Cold
STORAGE Houses

Eggs-too many of them-develop-
ed a crisis Saturday in Chicago.
There are 350000,00O eggs in the
cold storage houses of Chicago. This
is 100,000,000 eggs more than there
were in the freezers this time last
year.
AS a result four South Water street
firms are said to be in serious fnan-
cial trouble. and other dealers are
dismayed on the nest list sprung by
the United Sisterhood of Hens OF
America. The four firms are con-
cerned over the rapidity with which
the carloads of hen fruit have piled
up in the cold storage bins, as well as
over the slowness with which the
stocks have been unloaded on the
public.
