Show - Oddities of the Egg Market. A leading commission merchant said: "The egg business is the most annoying one in the world. During the cold weather in the winter the hens quit laying, but everybody wants to eat eggs. Consequently Conse-quently they go so high that the grocers caa't keep pace with their customers. In the spring, just as soon as eggs get plentiful, plen-tiful, people quit eating them, and we have to sell them to packers, who pickle them for consumption later on. These eggs that are packed are not liked by ootsumers, and so you see the egg dealer never has the satisfaction of handhng a commodity that is in good demand and good supply t the sameiime.';-rL.onis-ville Commercial. |
