EurOpean Eyes.

The Continent is the main source
from which Great Britain draws the
requisite quota of eggs to supplement
the vast numbers of native eggs which
are produced by farmers, cottagers and
private persons who keep fowls
throughout the Kingdom, says Cana
dian Export Journal. The trade that
has been opened with Canada for years
past seems now to be established on a
healthy basis. The greater portion Of
the shipments enter at Liverpool and
Glasgow, the reason being that it costs
more to ship them to London direct or
forward them by rail from those parts
than it does to consign them straight
to their proper destination. Consider
able supplies of eggs for immediate
use are scattered over the northern
counties, where they realize fuller
rates than If disposed of in London.
II the metropolis the buying is usu-
ally of a strongly depreciative char
acter, with a very large assortment
always on hand.
There is some complaint among egg
dealers in Liverpool as to the poor as.
sistance given them by shippers. NC
fewer than ,144,022, 440 eggs, Of the
value of S14,S07, $50, were imported by
England during the first nine months
of the past year, and a large proper
ton of these was entered at Liverpool
1t is odd that the trade should allege
that it is not so we'll served by the
shippers there as at other ports. A
Liverpool correspondent of the Lon.
don Grocer" asserts that numerous in.
stances OF this can be quoted. About
the end of November last prominent
Liverpool merchant was notified Of the
arrival of a consignment of Canadian
eggs by a steamer which had arrived
in the dock on Monday. On Thursday
the eggs were sent for early in the
morning. The carter waited whole
day without getting load. The same
thing occurred on Friday. On Satur'
day, after waiting until noon, the mai
went off to load from another vesse
upon which a consignment of eggs
had arrived meantime. There was nc
much regard shown for the fact tha
eggs are of perishable nature. 1t /!
| interesting and instructive to note tina
twenty-four hours after this Canadian
steamer had arrived in Liverpool ;
consignment of eggs was shipped a
Hamburg, discharged at Grimsby, plac
ed on the railway there, and delivered
in Liverpool, Birmingham, Wigan ant
other places in time for Saturday
market. According to THE Grocer,
all this time the Canadian eggs which
had arrived full day previously il
Liverpool were snugly ensconced il
the hold of the vessel lying alongside
the quay. 1t is not particularly cred
liable to those who ought to be fore
most in fostering the trade to Liver
pool to neglect the interests of such
large and growing branch OF tina
trade. Canadian shippers of egg
should make careful inquiry concern
ing the prompt delivery of their shin
ments. Great Britain imports nearl,
1S0, 000,0 900 dozen of eggs per annum
Canada cannot afford to neglect sucI
! a market.

that is, that our people had too much
of the Yankee in their business meth
DDS in connection with England when
exporting butter and cheese. says Ell
gin Dairy Report. The matter came
up incidentally as to the quality Of
goods from the reason that box
maker had sent to a factory where
this gentleman was having butter
packed, some boxes made of wood that
had both flavor and taste. He refused
to accept them, believing that in the
end although a saving OF two or three
cents on the box might be had, he
would probably lose a cent or two on
each pound Of butter, which would
not be good investment. The CONVEX
sation drifted into the quality OF goods
heretofore sent to England from our
American market as a representative
of the quality of both butter and
cheese made in this country. or course
filled cheese came in for discussion,
as it always does in that direction,
showing that the quality OF cheese sent
over there as full cream cheese, being
filled or sophisticated with lard, had
done more to degrade the reputation
of American cheese than any one thing
and that the dealers over there take
advantage OF that. and whenever they
find a bad lot either of English or
Canadian cheese. they label it Ameri-
can and mark it at low prices, and
refer their customers to the fact that
they cannot get good cheese from
America, and these are fair sample
Of the goods. 1t is so in the butter
line. We have been sending over to
a large extent nothing but low grade
butter that would sell there possibly
for cent a pound profit more in pro-
portion than the better grades, and
the English dealers had come to be-
lieve that they could get no good but
ter in this country; but now that a
change has been made it rests en-
tirely with the dealers and shippers on
this side 10 build up and sustain rep
utation for high class goods in the
English markets that will stand us in
good stead not only at present but in
the future. Take for example the Dan
ish dairy industry; it is fostered by
the government and in such way that
the maker or manufacturer who does
not come up to the requirements OF
grade, both in regard to the butter
itself and the method OF packing, that
he loses caste at once. and not only
that, but he loses money at the same
time. This is a most effectual way Of
curing either shippers or manufactur-
ers OF careless or sloyenly ways. So
with exporting dairy products from
this country. Now that we have got
ten rid of the filed cheese question,
and it must go forward labeled so
that the people who buy it will know
what they are buying, the butter ques-
tion comes to the front more extern
sively than ever before, and the quality
that we send forward will determine
the extent of the market which Amer
lean butter will obtain in England.

A POLICEMAN SHOOTS,
Hut Ii Takes Running to Capture a
Fleeing Man.

A lively chase after alleged forgers was
INDUCED In at noon yesterday by Patrolmen
Lyons and Stevens. with the result that
two of the three men who attempted to
pass a forged check on Fletcher's Bank
were arrested. Stevens fired one shot in the
air in Monument Place and a good deal
of excitement was occasioned. a few min
utes after noon three men stood in front
of Fletcher's Bank and one OF them went
I'm and approached Paying Teller Ralph X.
Smith and presented a check for $j signed
by Clement T.. Dunn and payable to James
Miller or bearer. The signature looked a
little "off" and Smith asked the man his
name and was told that 1t was Fisher and
that Miller was waiting outside. Smith told
him to tell Miller to come in, but the fell
low departed and the three men went away;
Mr.. Smith then went to lunch and stopped
at the corner OF Meridian and Washing
ton streets to tell Patrolman Lyons of the
circumstance In a moment Mr.. smith came
back and pointed out the three men, who
were standing by the Old Sentinel building.
The officers walked toward the men and
they ran. Lyons followed the two who ran
west in Court street and overlook one of
them on the circle aIIer chasing him
through the yard of the electric light COM
pany'S property.
Patrolman Stevens took after the one
who ran north on Meridian street. He
jumped into a buggy and overlook the man
at university Square and arrested him. AS
he was pursuing the man across the Monu-
ment plaza the patrolman fired a shot. but
the fellow kept right on and had to be
run down before he would surrender.
The two men arrested gave the names of
Thomas O'BTien and George Ferris. . Brien
afterward said his name was Samuel Fish
or. He said he tried to cash the check for
James Miller, the man who escaped and
that he did not know that il was not good.
He is thirty-three years old and probably
told the truth when he said he was a farm
hand. George Ferris is nineteen years old.

eighty delegates in attendance.
President Penna, in his annual adj
dress. reviewed the wage troubles of the
year. and said many methods had been adj

ton OF the miners. Among them is the re-
striction of output by limiting the number
of cars which a miner may load in a day,I
or the number of days i'm a week or the
number of hours in a day a miner may
work. President Penna did not believe
such a proposition practicable. He was
also opposed to a national suspension of
work. The chief obstacle to any plan. he
said. was that more than 90 per cent. of the
miners are u~norganiZed or remain indiffer-
