City Consumers May Not
Benefit From Slump,
Wholesalers Say.

CHICAGO, Oct. eggs, fried,

way. will be one of Americas
cheapest foods this winter. Raw,
they dropped to the lowest price
in twenty years on the Chicago
mercantile exchange.
Eggs for November delivery
dropped to 2134 cents per dozen
and December to 2214. Not since
1910 have prices been so low.
Whether Mrs. Indianapolis will
receive the advantages of the lowest

a big ''if."

that the speculative egg had

declare that it hinges on the re-
taller whether the consumer bene-
fits by bear market.
They charge that the retailer, in

than 10 per cent margin of profit
per dozen.

Eggs we sell at 20 and 30 cents

A check of egg prices in retail
stores revealed that chain groups
were taking a lower profit in most
instances than independents, whose

SEEK TO CUT
PHONE COSTS
Installations Too High, Is
Commissions Views.

Effort to cut the cost of telephone
installations throughout Indiana to
about half of the present $3.50 fee
is to be made by the public service
commission, it was announced today
by Commissioner Frank Singleton,
who has presided in several such
cost cutting cases already.
Latest of these is the voluntary
cutting of installation costs this
week by the Rochester Telephone
Company.
In petition pointing out the
trend of the times, the company
asked that their installation charge
of $3.50 be cut to So. Similar re-
auctions were made in charges for
various phone instrument types and
extensions, Singleton said.
These reductions also will be
sought by the commissioners on o
statewide scale, he declared. Not
more than SO cents will be charged
for additional installations on the
same premises, he anticipates.
The entire program will be car
ried on with the idea that it will
not result in any telephone rate in
creases.
1t will mean saving of thou
sands of dollars to new telephone
subscribers and should result in in
creased revenues in the long run
for the telephone company, Single
ton pointed out.
