PRICE OF EGGS
SHILLING A DOZEN
BRITISH POULTRY KEEPERS ALARMED
PROTECTION SOUGHT
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 8.25 p.m.) London, January 23. The Daily Telegraph’s Agricultural Editor says that poultry-keepers are becoming impatient at the present low prices of eggs. Lately they have received only a shilling a dozen, a grim price for this time of the year. The market has not adjusted itself yet to the increased supplies of winter eggs from the dominions, while the mild winter has resulted in almost spring production here. The Poultry Breeders Association is demanding that before the adoption of any marketing scheme, there should be adequate protection against foreign supplies. Despite the voluntary agreement to reduce foreign imports in 1934 to five per cent, below 1933, they actually are the same, while last year’s imports from the dominions showed a four per cent, increase.
