BosroN, Mass, Dec. 10, 1s90.-Ex-
Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson

said he was in favor of it, but there were
no assurances that it would pass. On
prospects of financial legislation Clark
son thought there was Il majority in each
house in favor of free silver coinage. He
thought revision of banking law was
needed in favor of the farmer and said
the farmers alliance had come to stay
until some modification of the present
banking system was made.

COW AND HEN.
Some Interesting Figures on the
Consumption of Their Pro-
ducts i'm San Antonio.

Something that will interest everyone
because it reaches every home, and eSpe-
cially on account of the surprise 1t will be
to all, except, perhaps. .grocerS or hotel
men, is the trade in staple groceries, such
as butter and eggs.
1t is doubtful if anyone has ever both
cred him or herself about the tremendous
consumption of that greasy article, but
ter in this city. 1t is estimated that full
" 1900 or 200 pounds of butter is USED
daily here in town. Almost all of the but
ter we use is obtained from producers
around the city, very little of it being
Northern butter. Prices are quoted at p
cents to 40 for best dairy and % cents for
Northern butter.
Suppose that these 2O10 pounds per day
should supply our 5000 people, then each
man would daily consume -thirtieth
part of pound, while, according to the
best medical authorities, the gluttOnOus
eDiCure scarcely consumes over One-tlttl-
eth part of pound.
or still greater proportions is the egg
trade. According to persons posted in
that line, the daily consumption OfeggS in
this town is between twenty-five and thirty
thousand. one firm alone buying over
1890 dozen eggs per day on several Occa-
SiOnS. This amount gives each man,
woman and child of our 10000 population
one half egg each day. while the gluttOn-
Gus cpicure to whom we referred to before
only eats neand "a half eggs day.
Our supply of eggs, however. is not so
very steady, and the price of that article
rises and falls with the diligence and in
dOlence of the barn-yard fowls, except
during prohibition campaigns when they
are valued according to their age, the
patriarchS of the nests receiving the great
est price.
The ruling price for eggs during sum
mer and early fall is ten cents, around
Christmas twenty cents. and around
Easter about eight cents per dozen.
