burled under such an avulnncho of
eggs on has novor boon scon In this
country before and tho prlco Is bound
to break to ovon now lovcls, accord
ing to tho market sharks. ,
Thoro uro now on hand 1, 883,858
cases ot eggs and ovory caro contains
thirty doion. Multiply It for yoursolf
nnd figure thu dimensions of rtho
American omolot, Tho normal supply
Is about ono-tcntli of this amount or,
to bo exact, 207,000 canes.
Many ImxHl
Lust year at this tlmo tho stock
on hand wan only 121,733 cases and
In 1919 there woro avallablo at' this
date only 319,508 cases. Much of this
over-load of eggs comes from tho
Importation ot eggs from China and
othor foreign countries.
So creat Is tho depression that n

Hcftan Aa Kxportnvnt
Tho Importation ot eggs from the
Orient began m an experiment by
speculators to attorn pt to break tho
market when at Us high point, and
tho habit has grown until there It a
regular trndo that) appears to bo
growing out of nil proportion tojthe

One of Aim astonishing things
about the eggs from tho Orient i
that thoy are aq. carefully pocked
Is almost unhosrd of, nmof luxoll
that tbo breakage la ncgllblo nnd loss
Is almost unheard of wbllo the loss

that unless u stiff tariff Is Imposed
