Gamblers, Hit By Big Egg Surplus,
Appeal to Government for Help

said to be many. The egg crop last
spring was large, and, in order to hold
up prices, many more eggs than usual
were stored. An urgent demand was
counted on, but no eggs have been
shipped abroad. The large percentage
of water in proportion TO the nourish-
ment in eggs has made them taboo
for export. This fall the excellent
weather encouraged the hens to con-
tinue laying much later than usual, and
storage eggs were kept off the market
until late. Some of the big operators
are said to stand to lose fortunes II
the attempt to get government aid
fails.
Packers refuse to discuss the situa-
ton. Armour & Co. said that they
were not worrying about it. Officials
Of Swift E. Co. admitted that storage
eggs were now selling at a slight loss
The official government report or
cold storage eggs October 1 showed
total stocks of 5,755,77s cases, as
against 4,s67 500 cases a year ago. The
dealers say the present amount is nor
NAL. while a year ago there was a
shortage.
There are thirty dozen eggs in a
case. This makes the surplus on hand
26.645,340 dozen. If prices and demand
were both normal this would not be
alarming The cause for worry is the
drop in demand. The public is not
absorbing storage eggs as formerly
even at figures which represent a loss
to the SPECTATORS. II the army were
brought into the market, however
things would be adjusted.

tv administrator Will deal with the
problems arising in his county.
Each county administrator will have
the power 70 associate with MN
committee and such assistance as he
may deem advisable
One Of the subjects that probably
will be considered first by the commit
tee is the apparent shortage OF coal in
the city, although railroad records show
that q surplus Of more than $4,000
tons Of coal has been shipped here
over the figures for the same PERIOD
last wear. Just where this immense
quantity of fuel has gone has not been
answered.
Retailers Increased Purchases
One explanation of this seeming DIS
crepancy in the statements Of dealers
who assert that the city is in the grip
of a coal famine is that much OF the
coal shown as arriving in New YORK
has been reshipped to Boston and New
England points. But the force OF TINS
argument, say some shippers, is lost
when it is shown that more than ~
per cent o. the city's retail coal dealers
received larger quantities OF coal this
year than last year.
