the storage trust have had an unprofit-
able year. l quote from the Review

accepted were generally improbable
or making more or less heavy losses.

the stock then remaining suffered
heavy losses Probably losses were
realized on a larger proportion OF the
stock carried than ever before and
we doubt if any general losses we're
ever before SO serious as those suffer-
ed on the fall packed eggs that ac-
cumulated in September and October,
many of which, costing 25 to 30 cents
at seaboard points were finally closed
out at range of 10 to 16 cents a
dozen. Some of them we're still un-
sold at the close of February though
at that time the accommodations we're
mostly cleared and the markets we're
in fair shape to receive the increasing
supplies of fresh production then in
