was directly and indirectly referable to war,
in which the United States and France Were
the most conspicuous, expeuding jointly -,
100000, 900, and that by no means including
all the disbursements occasioned by the wars
| in which they were unfortunately engaged.
The other half Of the augmented debt, u Is
estimated. has been put to higher purposes
than human destruction, but only part of
that half eau be clearly traced. The SUN of
s. OS5 600 900 went into the state Golfers of
Russia, Spain, Turkey and Egypt.
The first spent q portion of this in
building railroads, not wholly intended
to cultivate the arts of peace. The
second applied part in the Development of
internal industries. Concerning the dispo-
sition made of Der quota in Turkey very
little is clearly known. The caprices ofthe
head OF the state, the costly con-
struction of ironclads and the sustenance

ductive works. Egypt, the Yassal state.
presents better record. The khedive can
point to the Suez Canal, and instance other
works connected with the industrial pro-
gress of his people. With regard 70 the col
riod NAMED 1926, 0O0, 900, 10 part was used as
blood money, all of it having gone to repro
ductive purposes and the civil uses Of the
state. England, it will be seen, has been no
borrowers; on the contrary, diminlshes her
debt, munifcently aids the peaceful progress

EGG MARKET.
The Produce Dealer OF Saturday says;
Receipts for the week, 1896 packages;
last week, 1910; increase, LAG packages.
The demand has been quite moderate, slack
ing little, while the receipts have increased.
Prices are about 4 cents lower. To-day
some receivers try to get 10 cents tor best
marks of Western. but buyers can supply

and that receipts will soon fall of. We
note. however, that the Chicago and Cir
ciunsti quotations are low, and offer
margin on shipments to this market. We

CATION to the egg convention to be held at
Indianapolis on the 18th. We have hopes
that some practical plan may be then set on
foot TO relieve the egg trade OF many OF Its
Difficulties One important point would
be to insist that all bills of lading and ship
ping receipts should specify that eggs are to
be carried in hot weather in well-ventilated
cars. We hear complaints that some lots of
eggs brought in ice cars have been injured by
wet. the straw packing being damp, and
soon heating and spelling the eggs.
