1t is said that eggs are at present
selling for the lowest price recorded
at this time of the year, for forty
years. Last Saturday some WauSau
merchants were Offering fresh eggs
mot cold storage ones at lie per dozen.
They were not much lower than that
at any time last summer. Chicago
cold storage concerns are left with
millions of dozens on their hands.
But then there are lots of bakeries in
the big cities 10 consume them.
Food inspectors of late have been
waging a war against bakeries using
such eggs. Even though eggs are
supposed to be plentiful in this county
at present, local buyers say that not
many are being brought in by the
farmers. Local merchants usually re-
ceive great many from Marathon
City, Edgar and other small stations,
but the buyers in those places, too,
are complaining of shortage. There
is q banner crop somewhere.
