NEW YoRK,s EGG TRADE.

And Where the Eggs Go-Facts About
the Business-How Eggs are Packed.
''The egg business has assumed large
proportions in this city," said a leading
dealer to reporter.

A few years ago the business was in its
infancy and when we handled 800, 600

didly, and so we were, but last year our
sales footed up 1,s0O,O So you can
easily comprehend its steady growth"
"Where do all the eggs come from that
find their way to New York;"
''Well, the bulk of them are shipped
from Iowa, Nebraska, Canada and a few
from Dakota. Most of the southern
states, principally Virginia and South
Carolina and Kentucky ship to New
York, but this quality of eggs is not so
fine as those which come from the more
northerly climates and hence do not find
as ready sale nor bring as good prices.
Yes, New York exported quite a large
quantity of eggs few years ago to Eng
land and France, but that trade has
fallen off materially, as eggs are nearly
as cheap in those countries as here.
Large shipments of eggs are made to
Boston, but even that trade has fallen
off on account of the Boston merchants
buying direct from the farmers.
1.-THE eggs we receive from Canada
find ready market; but there is one
thing which tends to hasten the sale of
the Dominion's eggs; they ship their
goods in free cases; consequently it is
much easier to effect sale to the retailer,
as he buys box and all, thus saving the
necessity of repackipg. Most of our
western and southern egg raisers forward
their goods to this market, where they
have to be emptied into our own cases
and theirs returned. The railroads assist
the farmers by carrying complies" back
free. Eggs from May TO September
bring from eleven to fifteen cents per
dozen, but as soon as October sets in, the
fowls are not so productive and the price
goes'up to twenty cents and even higher.

The ReNenue.

\ Washington correspondent SAYS that
a canvas shows that both Democrats aud
Republicans of the National House will
vote for the abolition of the tobacco tax
about $50 .000, 900 when the question
gets before it. The Democratic leaders,
however. say they will not allow such a
bill to come up by itself. but that it must
be part of a tarh bill. majority
also favor removing the internal
tax on alcohol used in the arts and manu-
features, which amounts to about Sl0,-
0o0. 600
Three-fourths of the Democratic MEM
berS will sustain Cleveland in his position
on the tariff question, and Mr.. Mills, who
is to be chairman OF ways and means,
has a bill sketched which puts wool, saw
ed lumber, lime, bitumious coal, (anthra-
cite coal being also on the free list,) salt,
potatoes, hay, oats, wheat, barley, butter
milk and cheese on the free list, and re-
duces the duty on wooden, cotton, iron
and leather goods, and machinery about
10 per cent. But very little reduction Is
made in the duty on sugar, which is now
IS per cent.
The most of the Republicans favor re-
ducing the duty on sugar to about 30 per
cent, which would reduce the revenue
about 1000, 900 abolishing the inter-
nal tax on tobacco in all forms and on al
cohol used in the arts and manufactures,
which would reduce the revenue about
$40 900 O0O-S70, 0O0, 900 in the aggregate
and rc-adjusting the tariff on worsteds
and various other items where errors and
incongruities exist, which would shut out
import rs so as to reduce the revenue

A MYsterlous Prisoner.

Foster, the cool, calculating feow,w who now
lies in jail at Bangor, charged with participation
in the Peter Bennett robbery, still remains a
mystery to the police. Although many photo
graphs have been sent out to chiefs of police de-
partments and detective agencies, and although
his portrait has appeared in the sporting papers,
no clue to his identity has been obtained.
Those who are working up the case believe a
third man was engaged in the work, and that he
holds the money still missing, some $2S, 900
Whether or not he was the mysterious man who
came here, and who threw Foster in rage, can
not be determined. 1t seems to be the i'm
preston in police circles that Foster is an old
offender, who prefers to take his chances with
the law as it is here in Maine, rather than run the
risk of revealing his identity and calling in his
friends to his aid.
