Scarcity of Eggs Baffles Bath Market and Farmers
The Bath market grapples with egg shortages after Thanksgiving as dealers struggle with 40 to 50 cent fresh eggs while Boston prices pull futures up. Dairy butter moves at 32 to 60 cents a pound and potatoes sell 40 to 60 cents a bushel amid abundant stock. Farmers eye corn via better hay returns, apples fetch 2.25 a barrel, veal and native poultry hold steady, and hay tops 15 to 16 dollars a ton as winter price trends loom.

The press notes labor gains, better markets for farmers, and widespread public improvements while warning against assuming only autoists reap the gains.
