HAS A CORNER ON EGGS.
FOSTER. OF WINONA, IS A HAPPY
MAN.
About the Only Man in the
United States Who Laughs
at the Blizzard.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-R. A. Foster,
of Winona, Mimi, was the happiest
man in Chicago tonight. He had
just cornered the egg market of the
United States, and the colder it
grows and the longer the cold spell
lasts, the greater the profit he will
realize from his speculation.
Eggs are So cents dozen in New
York" he said. Before another sun
goes down l may make them 40. Or
[ may stop their supply altogether,
and compel them to eat Canadian
lined eggs that were laid before the
Mckinley bill became a law
Mr.. Foster is the principal in the
firm of r. A. Foster & Co, of Wi
mona, Mimi, the most extensive egg
shippers west of Chicago. Minnesota,
Wisconsin and the Dakotas furnish
the markets on which the firm de-
ponds for it's supplies. During last
spring, when prices were low, the
firm gathered in all the eggs which
it could secure and put them in cold
storage In the ordinary movement
Of trade the big "blOck" of eggs
thus accumulated was kept intact.
1t amounted to several thousand
cases. The Foster company was
often appealed to when there was a
dig demand for eggs to break into
the reserve. 1t always declined to
do so, preferring to wait the time
cpn11 would oiNa
it control of the market.
The time came a few days ago
when the billiards. and the snow
came, and the man from Winona is
now dictator in the world Of eggs.
New York dealers fought me as
long as they could" he said tonight.
'They promised they would beat me,
and that eggs would go down to IS
cents dozen. The New Workers
are mistaken, and 1 can laugh now.
Eggs are raising from 25 to %
cents a dozen in Chicago. from 25 to
80 cents in Boston, and from 80 to
So cents in New York.
when I was satisfied that the
cold weather had come to stay I
divided my stock into three parts.
One part 1 sent to New York, another
I sent to Boston and the third L
kept here. AS there can be no fresh
supplies as long as the present
weather lasts, and as there are no
holdings to speak of outside of mine,
L practically control the market.
The only source Of supply open to
Eastern dealers outside of my stock
is Canada, but this source is not
reliable. The Canadians were
driven out of trade by the Mckinley
bill and cannot take advantage of
the present emergency without fall.

Some of the Japanese war ships
passed Che Foo early this morning, and

made upon Ninghai yesterday, the be-

Attack on That City by Japanese

CHE Foo, Feb. S.-The Japanese
landed force of troops near here last
evening with the intention of captur-
ing this city. The landing was made
about ten miles eastward of Che Foo,
and all immediate advance upon the
city was ordered. AS this dispatch is
sent, the Japanese are attacking the
forts defending the east part of Che
Foo. Intense excitement prevails here,
and it is expected that severe engage
ment will occur today.
The Japanese ships which appeared
this morning near Ningha. town be-
tween Wei Hal Wei and this city. and
began q commandment of the forts on
the western side OF the town, left soon
afterwards without doing any damage.
This confirms the impression that the
attack on Ninghai was only fent
of the Japanese to cover a land
ing of their forces at some other
place, and people here believe that
the capture of Che Foo is contemplated.
Every precaution is being taken to de-
fend the city. Another version OF the

were said to be escaping from Wei-Hai-

and the Japanese are reported to have
sunk both vessels at Il point nOrthWaru
