Black Market in Eggs
Is Operating in East,
Trade Paper Charges
Reports Steady Decline
In Deliveries to Markets
Due to Illegal Sales
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July IA black
market in eggs has developed in
the East within three days after
overall OPA price ceilings went
into effect on Monday, says the
Producers Price Current, author
itative egg publication Of the
New York Mercantile Exchange.
Receipts teggs) continue to fall
off steadily, and it is safe to say they
are falling off more rapidly than
production is dropping the egg
publication says.
The only reasonable explanation
of this phenomenon is the diver
sion of supplies to irregular trade
channels. Already we have reports
of hucksters who never before dealt
in eggs now picking them up at
producers doors.
Price Only Inducement.
and the only inducement for pro-
ducers to sell in this way is in the
matter of price-higher than can
now be realized by shipping to ter
minal markets.
That is one end, and the primary
end, of black market
The article said that some old
established egg receiving houses
might 60 out of business and added
with but day or two of whole
sale ceiling operations behind us,
we have already run into the black
market which was confidently fore
seen tbt the publications. last week"
Meanwhile, the Market News
Service of the United States Agri-
culture Department yesterday re-
ported the arrival in New York of
only 13,480 cases of eggs, compared
to 27,357 cases on a single day in
the last week of June.
Agriculture Department authori-
ties said that there was every indi-
cation that producers were market
ing their eggs nearer home since
the OPA rollback order Of from
4 to cents in country prices which
became effective Monday.
Defense Areas Drain Supply.
Thickly populated defense areas
outside of New York throughout a
radius of from 200 to 300 miles were
believed to be draining off egg sup
plies at the more favorable price
commanded, without the additional
shipping cost, the Agriculture De-
partment said.
Federal experts said the recent
heat wave caused production to
slump at the very time the new OPA
order went into effect, adding that
the Army and other Government
purchasing agents were buying
heavily of fresh receipts instead off
drawing from storage reserves.
Experienced market dealers and
Government officials said the met
ropolitan shortage probably would
continue in varying degree until
February unless the Government re-
leased stored eggs for civilian use.

Primarily, Mr.. Wallace is
politician. not a philosopher, and
he is trying TO find in philosoph-
ical history common ground
for his political purpose of bring

together in the postwar world.
But this kind of international

belief t h a t Russia and the
United States can join together
in common state after the war.
Obviously, Mr.. Wallace had

i'll about that, because Stain
is realist, if nothing else, and
he knows, if Wallace does not,
that his progress toward Soci-
alism and ours still leaves us so
far apart as not to be anywhere

1900, 900 Barrels of Oil
Pour Into East Daily

PITTSBURGH. June 26 (P.-"For
two successive weeks, overland
transportation has delivered we'll
over 100000 barrels of oil day to
the Eastern Seaboard area declared
Fayette B. Dow, petroleum director
for the Office of Defense Transpor-
tation, here last night.
Mr.. Dow was here for an off the
record address at a banquet conclud.
ing the annual meeting of the Penn
Sylvania Grade Crude Oil Associa-
tion. After the dinner he made a
statement on the OIL transportation
situation.
"Of this 300, 900 barrels" he con-
tinued, more than 100000 barrels
has been delivered by tank cars.
This was in a period when the
railroads had not yet fully recovered
from the disastrous floods in the
Central and Southwestern States
and 1t is a reasonable expectation
that tank cars will attain and hold
the 1000, ,000- barrel mark.
New barge facilities under the
ODT's barge building program are
now being put into service and while
not all of these deliver Oil directly
into district l they do bring oil into
areas from which it can be shipped
by tank car with reduced turn
around time.
In that way they will indirectly
increase the total deliveries into
the Eastern Seaboard area.
Last year an average of $4,000
barrels a day was delivered into
Buffalo via the Great Lakes. PAW
and ODT are now working on pro-
gram under which it is hoped that
these deliveries can be increased to
10000 barrels day. A small part
of that oil will be consumed locally
in Buffalo but at least 10000 barrels.
II these plans can be carried out.

Mr.. Jester recommended that the
Federal Government begin immed-
late construction of two additional
pipelines from West Texas to Cali
fornia and to the Middle West.
Texas largest crude reserve area
In the Permian basin should have
an additional pipeline to the West
Coast in California and still an
other pipeline to the Midwest area
with Minneapolis or Chicago as a
terminal" Mr. Jester said.
He said Texas daily output of
petroleum projects can be increased
by 250,000 to 350,000 barrels.
The Railroad Commission last
spring urged the Petroleum Admin
istration for War to increase the
flow of oil to the Eastern Seaboard,
Mr.. Jester told the subcommittee,
but it was September before that
body realized the critical situation"
Mr.. testers testimony followed a
recommendation by Representative
Bates, Republican, of Massachusetts,
subcommittee member, that Sec
ond big inch" pipeline from Texas
oil fields to the East should be built
to meet offshore war demands and
essential civilian requirements for
petroleum products.
From major company and indie
pendent operators, the subcommittee
received testimony urging an imme-
date crude oil price increase of from
so cents TO 81 a barrel, and relaxa-
tion of prioritieS on materials.
