Show Cornered the l.gt; Mttrket. Pittsburg-, Feb. 2S. The price of epgs has advanced from 21 to 40 cents a dozen. Last week H. D. Miller of Philo, O., arrived here and quietly started to buy etfgs. In a few days he had secured 1,000 cases, or 30,000 dozen and now has the market cornered. P.e-fore P.e-fore coming to Pittsburg' Miller went out among the poultry farms and found that the hens had been frost-bitten during dur-ing the blizzard. As it takes them several sev-eral weeks to recuperate, Miller says they will sell for a nickel apiece soon. |
