PURCHASE OF EGGS
HOUSEWIVES ASKED TO LIMIT
PURCHASES
AND REFRAIN FROM FORCING UP PRICES.
REQUEST BY THE MINISTER
OF MARKETING
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
WELLINGTON. This Day
“If housewives would be satisfied with a smaller supply of eggs and substitute meat and fruit for eggs, then the adjustment would be helpful to the Dominion's war effort,” said the Minister of Marketing, Mr Barclay, today. The Minister said the egg situation was at present in no way abnormal at this time. He added that produc-
tion was falling off and prices had necessarily to advance. It was to be hoped, lie said, that housewives would bear in mind the fact that at present unusual quantities of eggs were required for Hie armed forces, and would retrain from forcing up prices still further by an insistent demand for the usual household supplies.
