hour with a conseqii'ent rise in the price
Saturday. They are hard to get. even
at the high price quoted. and market-
men say that they ‘will go above 50
cents. The supply has been growing
less for the past two weeks. and many
dealers are unable today to supply
their regular patrons with eggs that
are really fresh.
The shortage in the supply is not due
to refusal on the part of the hens to
lay the eggs, but rather‘to an increas-
ed demand for them from larger cities
Farmers with fresh eggs can easily get
their own price. The cold storage sup-
ply is about 30 per cent. less than it
was a year ago. and this reduced sup
ply isbeing rapidly diminished through
the scarcity of the country product.
The scarcity of the country eggs ex-
tends all over the country and a fresh
