EGGS FROM AUSTRALIA
LONDON MARKET CONGESTED
LONDON, September 15
The Australian egg season has opened under somewhat inauspicious conditions. Britain is having an unusually prolonged summer, with the temperature as high as in the middle of June, and similar conditions prevail on the Continent. The result is that egg production is being maintained at a very high rate. Consequently, the market is flooded with Home and Continental eggs. Some weak holders of the latter arc selling at almost “get-away” prices. Some Danish (seventeens) have been sold as low as 10/6 per long hundred, and Lithuanian at 8/. In these conditions the prices realised for Australian sixteens, 11/6, must be regarded as satisfactory.
