Fig. 19. — Relative monthly holdings of miscellaneous frozen poultry in cold storage during 

 seasons of 1916-1917 and 1917-1918. (Base 100 equals holdings on January 1, 1917.) 



Tables 41 to 46, inclusive, show the holdings of each month 

 compared with those of the preceding month for the 1917- 

 1918 season. These comparative holdings and the percentages 

 of increase and decrease are based in each case on the hold- 

 ings of the storages that reported for both months.
