WHY EGGS ARE HIGH.
Farmers Have Been Holding Them for
81 = Dozen.

New York. Oct. 30.-One reason why
eggs were high last month Ia that
farmers in the west held back their
shipments in the expectation that the
war would enable them to get 81 a
dozen. Another reason was that the
stringent rules Of the board Of health.
Willard p. Brown, who sells more than
81 100000 worth of butter and eggs q
year. SO testified this afternoon in the
investigation conducted by States At
torney Parsons to determine whether
a butter and egg monopoly existed.
Mr.. Brown said that in 1913 the
health department condemned more
than 100000 pounds of all kinds of
food in this city as unfit for consump-
ton, three-quarters OF which probably
could have been eaten safely. The in
vestigation developed there was q
deficit of from Is to Is cents q dozen
in the prices paid by wholesale dealers
to country shippers and by the public.
The country shippers. it was said, re-
ceived from q to . cents q dozen for
the same eggs the consumers pur-
chased at 40 to ~ cents a dozen.
