There la no shortage of California
: eggs in Honolulu at present, nor has
there been any actual shortage of cold
6torago eggs. '.The shortage is in isl-
nA e.rra. ThA hens reruse to lay ai
this season, partly because they are
. moulting, and partly because a hen is
; just naturally contrary anyway.
Fancy ranch eggs are being sold to
day by all the leading grocers In Ho
nolulu at 60 cents a dozen, ana mere s
more than enough on hand to supply
.the. demand. - These eggs are bought
in San . Francisco fresh from the
ranches, are shipped on deck to Hono
lulu and are put into cold storage here,
but not until after every egg has been
candled, and-none ; saved that are not
perfectly good.
. Seconds are on sale today and have
been all this week at 55 cents a dozen.
These eggs are air sound and guaran
teed by leading grocers.; but they are
of mixed colors as to their I shells,
I They may be used for any purpose .for
' Which fresh eggo are used,
' Fresh island eggs, when they can be
had at all- retail at SO cents a dozen
'-. this week. ' -', y .
"To my certain knowledge," said .C.
- J. Day, manager of , C. J. Day & Co.,
-: "eggs have never sold in Honolulu at
any price higher than 85 cents a dozen.
To say that we are; selling eggs at $1
a dozen Is ' preposterous. In the 26
years that I nave been here eggs have
never sold for more than 85 cents a
dozenand this week they.are only SO
cents". We get most of our eggs from
the Kern oo farm near Castner. They
. are ail fpeshly laid when we get them.
- and we usually sell them the day they
come into the store. Cold,, storage
eggs we are selling this week at CO
cents a dozen, but ltls because our
.v supply of California eggs is made up
of smaller eggs than those we handled
last week at , 65 cents a dozen. IfHhe
eggs we get next are larger we shall
have to pay mote for them, and shall
sell them, possibly, for 65 cents per-
". haps more." f .K "'-.'; .)
. Butter, the best procurable, is 60
: cents a pound at all groceries. Grades
not quite so high, but still good eatin;
putter.- are - selling lor 65 cents a
;" pound. , ;' ' : . ' .'
The manager of one of the largest
groceries in Hawaii said r recently
that in 400 warehouses.In the states
there were actually 5,873,689 cases, or,!
to count them by the egg, 2,114,528,040 i
eggs now in cold storage, and that he
could see no reason, with this great
supply on hand, why' the price of cold
storage eggs should Increase in Hono
lulu unless it should be found impos-
sible to find cargo space for shipment j
' of eggs on incoming vessels.
Flour is selling this week in Hono
lulu for exactly the same price that is
asked for jher same flour in St. Louis,
Chicago and San Francisco. In New
- York prices on the same grades of i
flour are higher.
Sugar that is selling this week in
Honolulu at $7.4oflor fine granulated
In lpO pound lots and retailing at 7
cents a pound, which means three.
pounds for 23f cents, six pounds for
50 cents and 15 "pounds for $1, is sell-
ing at from 10. to 12 cents a pound in.
the Middle West and the East.
' Considerable concern is felt by gro
cers as to future shipments of perish
able goods. A rumor on the .streets
to the effect that the Hawaii Meat
Co. had cornered all the cold storage!
space cn the Oceanic line had its ori
gin, probably, in the fact that all the
cold storage goods on the last Oceanic i
vessel were consigned to the Hawaii
Meat Co.
May & Co., Ltd., recently received
a cable from their jobbers in I San
Francisco , saying that, a boat due to
arrive here two or three days before
Thanksgiving had refused to accept
for shipment a large order, of Thanks
giving; goods celery, tomatoes, j ruta
baga, cauliflower, Hubbard squash, :
etcfor lack of refrigerating space..
ine caDie asKea 11 snipment on one
of the Matson boats, due here a' full
week before Thanksgiving, : would be
satisfactory. As a week is a long- time
to keep vegetables fresh, after they've
already had a week on board a vessel.
May & Co. are put to it to see just
what they can do about their Thanks
giving goods, and have cabled! their
jobbers to insist upon the later boat
handling their order.
There are plenty of apples and other
less perishable Thanksgiving supplies
on hand. ..
