The information asked for has come
at last. There is no longer doubt
as to the fate of the United States
League. Captain Marshall Henderson
was unable TO marshal! the financial
support which he had promised. With
the exception OF Pittsburgh. Richmond
and Chicago not city would come
across with the long green. It was
another case of trying to make words.
words. words take the place of dollars,
and there was nothing doing.
Real regret will be felt here. II the
United States League has done nothing
else It has advertised Richmond. In
every city in the United States the
name of Richmond has appeared every
day for more than two months. II
1t had lasted the amount of real good
which would have been done the mer-
chants and business men OF Richmond
can hardly be calculated. And the
real business men of Richmond knew
II. Therefore they were willing. to
finance the proposition. But as has
been remarked on moro than one oc-
casion. there arc few R!chmonds in
the world.
The one regrettablc feature is that
the bailplayers have not received their
salaries. What will he done in this
regard is not now known. The men
have shown a spirit of loyalty and a
faith in Richmond which should not
go unrcwardcd. While several of them

CHEAP ECGSAPLOT
. OF STORAGE MEN,
WHOLESALERS SAY
Women Led Into Crusade to
Reduce Great Surplus,
II Is Declared.
BUT PUBLIC GAINS.
Wholesale Price Would Have
Dropped Further but for
Housewives League.
81 UT PUBLIC GAINS.

Wholesale produce dealers asserted
yesterday that the Housewives Leagues
se-cent egg crusade" Is the result of
plot by the cold storage warehouse
men and egg shorts to get rid of as
much as possible OF the unprecedented
surplus of preserved hen fruit
Nobody accuses tho Housewives
League members of anything wrong.
Those philosophical women. headed by
Mrs. Julian Heath, got into the plot
innocently and even yet they think 1t
was all an idea of their own.
The same scheme was worked on the
Housewives League in Philadelphia,
which in the last two weeks has sold
100000 eggs at "a cents a dozen.
But for the Crusade" there would
have been a still further break In the
wholesale price of cold storage eggs,
II Is asserted by commission houses.
As 1t is. the crusade. by fixing the re.
tail price at 26 cents. has not only
rise of one-half cent to one cent n dozen
In the price of the best quality Of cold
storage eggs.
At the same time II Is asserted In
the trade. the people Of New York have
benefited by the crusade--frst, through
cold storage egg, and second, by fixing
tho retail price at 10 to Is cents below
last winters quotations.
The evening world., 1912-12-20
STORAGE MEN NEEDED ROOM
FOR OTHER THINGS.

The cold storage mems motive In Join
ing the crusade. Il Is said. was to get
rid OF the eggs so as to make room for
other food In which they are specializing.
The warehouse men and the banks asso.
c!ated with them have made all the
money that can be got out OF the egg
storage seasons contracts. Apples arc
crowding In. and their storage season
runs till next March. Poultry Is crowd
ing In. and that season lasts till next
spring. Between the two the warehouse
ylen are In great need OF space, In view
81 the record breaking accumulation OF
eggs In the cool rooms.
) The extent to which the warehouses
are stuck" with their last springs cold
storage eggs Is shown In the following
statement by THE Egg Man" in tho
current number OF the New York Prod
uce Review and American Creamery:
Reports from all the principal storage
houses in New York and Jersey City m
dictate an actual output OF about ls0O0
cases from Dec. l to II. which would
leave $4,000 cases unsold at the close OF
last week. II the Increased output holds
or makes some further gain. We may ex-
pect the total reduction this month to
reach about 100000 cascs-which would
leave US with some $780, 900 cases or there.
abouts to carry over into January. Last
year we carried over $4,000 cases"
The original egg spectators. the men
who went into the game last spring an
hlled up the warehouses. are helpless in
the present situation. Their eggs cost
them Is to % cents dozen. and the
have added so much to the ontlay that
they have lost on almost every crate
sold In New York recently.
LITTLE SPECTATORS SHAKEN
OUT OF THE GAME.
Their total losses to date are estimated
at over 100000, The big spectators
can put up margins with the ware
houses, but many OF the little egg
gamblers have been shaken out Of the
game, owing to inability to respond 10
the demand for margins. The average
equity OF a speculator in his eggs In
storage Is not more than 25 per cent
The balance he got long aSo in "A cash
advance for which he gave his ware
hose receipt Most OF the spectators
invested their cash a ivances In more
eggs. thus working the margin scheme
to tho limit so that In "A situation like
the present they are caught" for every
thing.
Mrs Heath said to-day that II 10
absurd for anybody 10 say the crusade
was suggested by the cold storage men.
I'VE began to study eggs when they
went into storage last April" she said
land we concluded that there was an
over supply. In August we held a con-
ference with egg experts and they told
