EGGS IS EGGS.
Chickens are flying high and eggs
are ascending with them, says an ex
change. While we are paying about
5 cents each for guaranteed eggs, the
prices in the Eastern cities are rang
ing from 75 to 90 cents a dozen, with
60 cents quoted for the cold storage
variety. The blame cannot be placed
on the hen. Most reliable reports are
that the hens are working up to the
average for this season of the year.
Neither can the blame be placed on
the farmers, for they get no fancy
prices for what they sell.
Some illumination is offered by the
news from Chicago that the combina
tion of dealers in that city now holds
3,000,000 dozen eggs in cold storage
there awaiting still higher prices. The
point at which the trust will let loose
these 36,000,000 eggs is said to be
when fresh eggs reach 85 cents a
dozen. The cold storage men insist
that supplies are short and that this
shortage fully justifies the advance
in price already made and will jus
tify the advances contemplated.
If the statements of the cold stor
age men are true, they furnish evi
dence of a deplorable economic short
sightedness by the people in neglect
ing a most necessary and most im
portant industry. If the egg shortage
is artificial, forced for the purpose
of exacting fancy prices from consum
ers, then it is clear that there is need
of further legislation to prevent the
cornering and monopolizing of food
supplies.
The only tangible figures thus far
are those obtained by the Housewives’
league in New York. From a bureau
at Albany comes the information that
on September 1, of this year, there
were stored in the state 739,084 cases
of eggs. These eggs, it is claimed by
the president of the league, "went in
to storage last April at 18 and 20
cents a dozen. They could be sold
now at 30 cents.’’ On the strength of
this assumption a movement to hold
eggs at 30 c nts has already been
launched, and it is said that some
thing like 700,000 women can be en
listed in its ranks.
It is openly charged that the pre
vailing prices are due to a corner. If
that be true, the women of the nation
can break it by refusing to pay more
than 30 cents a dozen for eggs. The
egg is not the only breakfast food ob
tainable and a general decision to
eliminate the egg for eating purposes
or to reduce the number served by
half would be an effective means of
breaking the eggs corner. This, of
course, should not be done if there
is a legitimate trade reason for the'
high prices. It seems to be high
time, at least, for the state or the
nation to start an investigation which
will uncover the facts in relation to
the egg supply. The demand is ap
parent. If there i a conspiracy to
force artificial prices, a law is need
ed that will restrain the speculators
who hold up the consumer and com
pel him to pay a heavy tax for the
necessities of life.
According to a Paris dispatch, the
pilot of the new armored aeroplane
wears a cuirass and only his head is
exposed, which naturally makes one
wonder why he doesn’t add a helmet
to his armor.
A New Orleans expert has figured
It out that by becoming a suffragette
a woman decreases her chances of
marrying 50 per cenv. But, no doubt,
a word to wise young spinsters is
sufficient.
Rebels were recently reported to
have held up a train in Mexico and
carried off more than 1,000,000 pesos
in Mexican currency. It would be in
■ terestlng to know what the loot is
worth in real toney.
Some of the Broadway restaurants
are uniting in a movement to abolish
the cabarets. Eventually they may
remember that one of the purposes
of a restaurant is to furnish food.
