EGG PRICES TO DROP

Unloading of Storage Stocks Expected
to Make Crash in Values With
Loss to Dealers.

DO your Christmas egg shopping

chase their winter supply Of hen fruit.

cooking and domestic use
crash in storage eggs is expected

nous egg incident involving Humpty

at the same time. Female poultry, like
the human Of their sex, have proved
tickle this winter and have upset the
best laid plans OF egg men throughout
the country. Instead of there being a
shortage OF eggs, as was the case last
year, the open winter in the east and
north plus the OVerproduct1On of the
industrious hen, has caused surplus IN
the market Eggs that were bought
for $3.50 a case in the Iall and stored,
may now be purchased for S5.40 a case
making a dead loss to the dealer Of
$1.10 per ease, plus the cost Of storage
until January I, which is the time limit
on most winter storage orders
Storage eggs may 90 as low as 20
cents a dozen on the local market. the
Harketmen say, and predictions Of 10
cents are being made In the Kansas
City, St Louis and New York markets
The dealers say that these storage eggs
are almost the equal Of the high priced
ranch eggs, which sell for cents each.
so cents a dozen The Fl Paso supply
of these storage eggs comes from Kan
sas. and are received here at the rate
Of three cars each week during the
winter.
The reason the market is expected to
go to pieces in eggs on January ] is
that the time limit Of most winter
storage contracts expire at that time
Rather than pay additional storage
and take q chance of the Texas eggs
coming into the market fresh from the
nest after January /, wholesalers and
commission men throughout the eoun-
try are expected TO dump the storage
eggs on the market. This would cause
the dealers to lose many thousands of
dollars as the result of the dropping
Of the bottom out Of the egg market.
1t is estimated that the total loss on
the egg market viii reach $1,000, 900
throughout the country.
The total number of eggs in storage,
as given by the market reports, is
4,246932 cases. Each case contains 80
dozen eggs, making a total Of 1,544.-
535, $50 eggs. OF this number FL PasO
consumes 49,, 900 each week of the win
