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.
