these articles are.
To begin with, there Ii the article Of
eggs. They are 10 active demand at .
good price. They are wanted for
home consumption aud for shipment,
both East and West. Eggs have COM
manded good price during al the
recent period that corn, wheat and
osts have been 60 very low. Fresh
eggs have been scarce In this market
all summer, and - the holidays ap-
proacb, the prices promise 10 be high.
Ever since the war the production Of
eggs has been paying business, and

not give attention to this profitable
branch Of husbandry. Railroads have

transportation Of eggs comparatively
