We have q word to say on this important COM
ponent Of daily. food supply. and its present
trade attitude that may be OF benefit to our
country patrons who are dealing in and ship
ping eggs to this market From the best in
formation at hand, the stock now held by our
Commission merchants and dealers must reach
to the large aggregation OF 5000 to 1000 cases
1.-THE Standard cases containing thirty DOZEN,
and as the local consumption at this time of
year Is estimated at about $50 cases per day.
the fresh receipts and stock on hand must owe
their movement and reduction principally to
a shipping demand. which. we regret TO
say, Is not ,correspondingly heavy this as
compared with previous seasons. The reason
of this unusual accumulation and falling OIL in
outside requirements is probably found In the
have laid almost interruptedly. thus furnish
ing an extraordinary supply for the period.
without losses from freezing, the cause OF de-
pletion and relative scarcity of stocks in former
years. Heretofore the demand has come from
quarters less favored. atmospherically than we
were, and all surplus has found ready market,
either at home or abroad: but the genial
weather has not been peculiar to our tributary
territory, but has. reached to the extremes OF
the land in all directions, and the same
causes which produced an abundant
over. and the grand hen pool" has shed Its in
fuence throughout the land. making each local
ity self sustaining, 80 to speak. Hence the fail
ure in degree of foreign demand. Prices have
declined considerably the past week, and may,
under the existing circumstances, go lower,
and 1t is to guard interior buyers and shippers
against injudicious and imp ofltable operations
that we refer to the subject as above OF course
the Lenten period involves larger consumption.

This is almost equal to the new mileage re-
ported at the corresponding time for the year
1876. It is o notable fact, however. that the
cost of construction and equipment never
ruined so low as during the past year, and also
that railways were never before built so nearly
for the cash cost and with 50 little fictitious
capital 80 that the aggregate OF capital in
sted in these 1900 or so miles OF new road
is far less tn IN that represented in corre-
spending increase OF mileage in former years.
To show the remarkable growth of the narrow
gauge system inaugurated only half dozen
years ago in this country the Age has given In
its summary the figures for wde-gauge'

Of five feet) and narrow gauge separately.
No less then 65 per cent OF the roads in
number. and So per cent In mileage. were
of the latter class-three feet gauge-except In
one or two cases where three feet six inches
was used. and In another whore the novel width
of two feet was chosen. These narrow gauge
roads have all been constructed very eheapiy.
and in many cases where it would have been
difficult or Impossible to raise the money for
even light" standard gauge road. In some
cases q mistake has been committed in varying
from the usual standard OF the country, but in
many others the three-feet gauge is equal to all
possible demands that will be made upon 1t.
and as the roads are intended solely to supply
limited local needs. where the people have no
| expectation Of or ambition for building parts
of q great through" system, they are well
adapted to their localities.

ally SO, considering the unsettled and du-
bious State OF European politics as caused
by the advance OF the Russian armies towards
Constantinople. Though our receipts have
been for some time past very heavy. and there
is q large stock on the market there Is but little
disposition to trade at this time. The market
to-day was weak and irregular on all grades,
especially In respect to the low grades. and some
sales we're made ut fully 16c below the closing
quotations. The sales footed up 1900 bales.
In breadstuffs business was dull, and we
heard Of but few sales OF Flour. and they were
confined TO the local trade. However holders,
seemingly, feel comfortable. looking forward
to an improvement In prices. The general tone
Of the market continues quiet and steady.
In Pork the market. though quiet, Is steady.
and the price for old and new mess stands at
$40 per Dbl. Dealers are jobbing at s12 80 to
s12 Is per Dbl
The market to-day In Sugar was strong and
the demand good. Receipts, 57s hhds sales $40
hhds.
The Molasses market is Arm. with fair in
auiry. Receipts s97 bbs: sales. si2 bbls.
There Is large supply OF Corn, and the mar
ket is quiet.
COTTON-Not since the season opened has
the market assumed such irregular and unds-
cided features rs 1t has to-day. Everybody in
the trade was ut loggerheads.' and everybody
was agreed to disagree. Naturally the sales oil
Cotton were of character to correspond with
this position of the market. New York WAS
down on spots 1-16e and to points on futures:
business at q decline of lied. Although here
the market was weak and irregular on oil
