Difference in Prices.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Five million
dollars was saved to housewives of the
United States and Canada through the
cold storage egg boycott conducted last
year and early this winter by the Ma
ticnal Housewives League, according to
Mrs Julian Heath. national president.
The report of the secretary today told
OF tie rush OF the cold storage men to
get rid Of storage eggs, because OF the
heavy arrivals of fresh products.
This rush of the cold storage men
to get rid of tneir products at q cent
dozen proves We were right in our
surmise that a boycott would do the
work" said Mrs. Heath today.
They could have sod all their eggs
earlier at a uniform price of % or o.
cents. 1t was our boycotc which kept
them from unloading at IS, 40, and 50
cents dozen.
