Due to the Cold Weather.
NEW YORK CRY (Special).--The continued
cold weather resulted In raising the price
Of eggs from one cent and q half to two
cents a dozen. The cold snap and the
snow have come to the relief Of the cold

of the weather and the way in which the
simple hen has kept on laying eggs.
A great many OF the eggs used In New
York m from Chicago, where before
the last cold weather set in cold storage
eggs were selling for from eight to nine
cents q dozen and fresh eggs for from
thirteen to fifteen cents. Dealers here
were informed from Chicago OF a general
advance there, and the prices In this city
were raised in consequences.
Within the last thirty days there have
been 700, 900 cases OF eggs In Chicago, a
