Show HICOST VICTIMS CHUCKLE IN GLEE OVER EGG SLUMP NEW YORK, Feb. 5. Victims Vic-tims of the high cost of living were given cause for vengeful chuckling today when market reports showed that eggs recently re-cently put in cold storage at 50 cents a dozen were being thrown on the market at prices ranging downward from 45 to 11 cents wholesale. The slump was reported to have affected the fresh egg market, bringing prices down 8 cents since last Wednesday. The decrease in cold storage egg prices was explained as being be-ing due to the fact that the expected ex-pected European demand for eggs did not fully develop. |
