That you paid As cents for a
dozen of strictly fresh eggs at the
corner grocery this morning is an
injustice upon you which is not
chargeable to the little brown hen
which actually produced those
savory and nourishing articles of
food.
The little brown hen, though the
weather is not entirely favorable,
is doing her duty this winter like a
patient little lady, amply supply
ing the market. 1t has been a
reasonable open winter in the egg
belt and receipts at Chicago are
inconsistent with present high
prices everywhere.
Egg prices are fixed by the arbi-
ltrary ruling of few men who live
in Chicago and have constituted
themselves an association called
the butter and egg board. These
men meet at 8 O'Clock each morn
ing in a shabby office in the Mar
Inc building, gather around a
long black table, and in few mo-
ments declare what prices shall
be. These quotations are tele-
graphed all over the country and
they form the basis of local prices
almost everywhere.
The butter and egg board men,
bers have it in their power to
make you pay any price they may
choose to name. Competitive
values, weather or market condi-
lions, the laws of supply and de-
mand have little to do in influence
ing prices. Edward Rueb, presf-
dent of the board, once frankly
confessed that the system of max
ing egg prices was based upon the
