ITALIAN EGG MYSTERY.
The establishment of an enforced sale price for eggs in Turin had the effect of causing the hitherto abundant supply to vanish almost entirely from the market. The Mayor, availing himself of his delegated authority from the provincial Prefect, tried the effect of abolishing the restriction altogether, the result being that eggs of a sudden became miraculously plentiful again, though at an enhanced minimum rate.
In Milan, where the Government lately seized fifteen' million eggs, stored them away in subterranean refrigerators, and distributed them in other cities, eggs became practically unobtainable at less than double the former free price.
