BILLIONS OF STORED EGGS.
Result OF nm ATTEMPT by Packers ts
Corner the Market.
New York Evening Sun.


One of the most peculiar situations in
regard TO the egg supply ever known ex-
lists in the United States to-day. The sit
cation is the result of storing eggs I'm an
lie ole 10 be two results One IL that the
people of the country will have cold stor-
ace eggs foisted upon them as the newly
laid produce. The other IS that the people
who attempted TO corner the market Will
suffer heavy losses.
The beginning OF the "cornering' effort
dates back to last summer At that time It
u said. the Chicago packers evolved the
scheme OF buying up all the eggs that
could possibly be gathered together and
storing them until the supply became
scarce. AS Is usual in schemes, IL was
anticipated that the scarcity would send
the price sky high. Then the stored eggs
were 10 be unloaded on the market and a
fortune was to be made for the packers.
1t Is figured that 100000 cases, each case
containing thirty dozen eggs. were stored
pacity is one egg day. this is an exceed
thgly large amount.
The scheme TO control the market fell
through. There was no call for the stored
eggs and the packers began to lie awake
o. nights thinking. AT present the hens
are beginning TO lay fresh eggs These
are coming into the market and no one
wants the stored eggs.
A little figuring will show how enormous
the loss will be. There are 100000 cases
Of eggs, or 2l0000,0oo dozen, stored through
out the country. IneSe were DOuSnt up at
u cents a dozen. The present price of eggs
q dozen outside OF Cleveland Is on an
average cents less a dozen than the
price at which the stored eggs were bought.
This will mean loss OF about s, 400. 000 10
the packers IL Is conjectured that there
are 5000 cases OF stored eggs In this city.
The loss here viii also be very large.
IL is reported that the packers in this
vicinity have way out OF the dilemma. II
Is said that next summer. when eggs are
shipped here from outlying towns. the
eggs will be mixed with fresh ones and
that In that way the old product Will be
sold to the unsuspecting public

I" TN try said Major milford: but when
they once get started they are hard to

when the major reached the Nebraska
line, however, ii was so near the insur-
gent trenches that he realized the folly of
bringing 1T back over that open field, and
instead of delivering General Hale's or
der he Joined in the charge.
Colonel Stotsenburg had to run to get
up with his regiment When he reached
them the first enthusiasm of the charge
had worn off. He shook them into form,
and the little companies now went ahead
by rushes-alternate companies kneeling to
fire while the others ran forward. The in
surgents made an effort to stop them.
Every Mauser from the trenches emptied
its contents across the open field. AS the
American line advanced the Utah guns had
to stop firing. With good marksmen In
those trenches the position could not have
been taken by infantry on a direct charge.
Gradually the firing from the trenches
grew less and less. showing that the in
surgents were retreating, and at last the
first American crossed the trenches. 1t was
another victory for Nebraska, but dearly
paid for. When the losses for the day were
counted. il was found that seven were
killed and forty-four wounded. Nearly all
of this loss was from the troop of the
Fourth Cavalry and the Nebraska Regi-
ment. Greatest loss of all, Colonel Stotsen-
burg was shot through the heart two
hundred yards from the insurgent earth
works."
AS has been beautifully said, at was
not given him to see the final triumph of
the cause for which he gave his life, to
rest on laurels won, to learn the place he
had slowly but permanently attained in the
hearts and affections of his fellow-men.
But more has been granted than with
held both to us and to him. Much to us:
one more example set before us of work
modestly, simply, nobly, proudly done. One
more example of heroic daring; one more
example of that type of manhood which
has made this proud Republic what it is
to-day. G. 3. C..

The Railway situation.

Railroad history these days is being rap
idly made. Vanderbilt, Cassatt and Morgan
now spoken of as the big Three" as
they have gathered into their great combi-
nation all the more valuable railroad prop
critics east of the Mississippi river, and
railway officials, employees and business
men are awaiting with expressions of anx-
iety what is to be done in this direction
with roads west of the Mississippi and in
the Northwest The Buffalo Commercial
says:
The freight and passenger pool in the
East is solidly maintained, and the one
forming in the West is about to be effected.
However, President Stickney, of the Great
Western. and President Hill, of the Great
Northern, together with the Canadian Pa
cific. are blocking the pooling issue in the
Northwest. OF course, if these three trunk
lines oppose it. it might just as well die a
bornin'."
One result of the big Eastern combine is
felt in routing of freight shipments and
ticketing of passengers. The roads which
are not friendly TO the big Three are be-
ing ostracised and practically forced to get

line. Instructions to route business over
the family line have probably been issued
but yet the independent roads running
west from Buffalo, by which l mean the
Grand Trunk and Wabash. have made no
objections. The Grand Trunk has friendly
relations with the Lehigh Valley and the
Wabash is allied with the West Shore
which is now a New York Central road
However. west-bound freight is routed by

and owners of grain held in elevators and
warehouses are not disposed to ship their
holdings at present prices. Fortunately for
the roads. the amount of other classes of
freight that pays better than grain is
abundant. and the through lines cannot
furnish cars to accommodate much of the
export freight and at the same time fur
nish for their local business. which
Is unusually heavy for winter month.
East-bound shipments of live stock, dressed
meats, cerealine products, hides hardwood
lumber and produce are large for January.
West-bound shipments of higher class
freight are heavier than In the CORE
structural work. and nails the tonnage is
heavy. In local way the roads are hand
ling more coal and grain than for some
years past. considerable volume of grain
and provisions is being shipped to the
Southern States. and shipments of agri-
cultural implements are quite an item in
local business. Manufacturers of furniture,
vehicles and heavy machinery are still
large shippers. Merchants in all lines are
shipping more goods than they usually do
at this season Of the year. while Tie
packing houses and local manufa cturers
of cerealine products are busy filling do

shipments eastward of grain. The present
freeze will, it is thought, make country
roads solid and increase business. The table
