Big Egg Slump Hits Chicago Market Report
A chaotic market report from March 1 shows 1,922 cases sold at 22 cents and delivery cars at 21 cents, with large egg supplies depressing prices. Rail and weather disruptions hinder shipments while demand for refrigerator cars rises. A separate Ames note highlights a Holstein cow producing 108.5 pounds of milk in a day, possibly a state record. Florida orange shipments exceed last year, despite northern blizzards complicating distribution. Orange blossoms are late due to cold weather. Get in the swim, 523 cents an ounce at C H Kighmeys.
