"Such a supply is vital during the lull In production durluK the winter months" explained Walter liberie, president of the Cincinnati Produce Fxchange ' Prices have awalyi been governed by tho law of supply and demand, and. although the stocks of eggs in the local storage plants are normal, there Is a largo shortage throughout the United States and we will have to help make up that deficit and, undoubtedly, un-doubtedly, at higher prices than last winter. ' The c hief reason for the shortage Is the result of the contraction of credit on orders of the Federal Reserve Re-serve Board. "The United States consumers need a vast amount of eggs during the non-producing period, and, In tho event that wo experience a severe cold winter, prices Will, possibly, reach unpdecodented figures in view of tho shortage of stocks In cold storage. "Butter prices, too, are entirely governed gov-erned by tin- law of supply .-nd demand de-mand and tho government report 1 states that the holdings are 19.1 perl cent below the figures of last ear.
