In One Year She Threw OFF 99,621,-
$50 Dozen Of Eggs With

Poultry Census Shows Falling OFF
in Number Of Hens, but
More Eggs.
New York Sun Special Service.

Chicago, Feb. 1S.-William E. Curtis, in
a Washington special to the Record Her
aid says: The census reports show a
very large apparent falling off in the mum |
bert of chickens in the United States, but
a very large increase in the number of
eggs produced. This is explained by the
director OF the census who says that in
previous enumerations it has been GUS
tonlary to count everything wearing feath-,
ers. but this time the enumerators We're
instructed to include nothing but chickens
three months old or more. AS the enulll-
GRAFTON was made upon June 80, 1900, this
barred out many Of the. chickens that
were Matched that spring.
It is interesting to know that on the
dated named we had the following chick
ems, ducks and turkeys and other fowls
compared with the census of 1880 and
that of 1890:
chickens asSs ls?2 2s $685. sss os5
TuSkeys ::: 1ose4S SSS 1856 sssa $ss
Other Other fowls 2s7sssiS 1859 9Sssss
Alaska has the smallest number of
chickens, only 176 being reported for that
year, while Iowa has the largest number,
showing total of 1S,907 6S3.
The following statement will show the
number of eggs produced in the United
States during the last three census years.
but the figures are as accurate as could
possibly be obtained. Few farmers keep
an exact account Of the number Of eggs
laid by their hens. ducks and turkeys, and
the census enumerators, being instructed
to ask the question made them guess at
it:
1901 ,293. S19.1s6 dozens of eggs pros
duced; 1890, 9.722, 916; 1880, 456,a1O,916.
Iowa is the boss state for farming, as
we all knew, or else Secretary Wilson
| would have resigned the agricultural port
! folio in modification. He is willing to adj
nit that this is a good country all around,
but insists that Iowa is q tri1e superior
| in every agricultural respect to every other
place upon Gods footstoo, and is SO set
| in this notion that there is no use argu-
| ing the question with him.
George Fayette Thompson of the bureau
of animal industry of the agricultural de-
partment has been making a very inter-
esting comparison between Iowa and other
of the great agricultural states in this
respect, and Secretary Wilson approves
| the totals.
In 1900 the number Of poultry in Iowa
over three months old was 20. 043343, and
they are worth s6,535, 464, while the poul-
/ try and eggs sold off the farm amounted
to s1s,5OS,526. Of the latter sum s1OO16,-
707 was for eggs and $9,491,S19 was for
poultry.
The number of dozens of eggs laid in
Iowa in 1899 was 99,621, 1920, which was
an increase of about 20, 000,0 900 dozen over
1889. The average price per dozen of the
eggs was 10 cents.

Trading in wheat was small, but there
a continuation of yesterdays eullish
sentiment Opening prices were firm on
small receipts. unfavorable crop reports,
firm cables and on talk of possible war in
the Orient July was unchanged to &c
higher. at 721zc to 72ssc. and during the first
half of the session price fluctuations were
confined within narrow range. There
was lack of outside orders and about the
only trading was of an evening up" char
acter over Sunday between local traders.
The estimates of large worlds shipments
for Monday caused some selling later in
the day and the market eased off, July de-
clining to 72asc, but a fair cash demand and
bullish crop advices soon brought prices
back to the opening figures. July closed
at the high point, at 72%c, gain OF A4c.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal
to $4,000 bu. Primary receipts were $4,000
bu. against 292, 500 a year ago. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported receipts OF la cars,
with local receipts OF fifty-four cars-none
Of contract grade-made a total OF lis cars,
against Isl last week and ia year ago.
Corn was dull, but the market was firm
the greater part of the day. Favorable
weather brought out considerable selling
by local traders, but the offerings were
readily taken by two of the principal longs.
Receipts were larger and the cash demand
good. July closed lsc higher, at 45c. after
selling between 455sd45&c and 45c. Receipts
were 264 cars, eighteen OF contract grade.
Oats shared in the general dizziness, and,
aside from the early buying of May by
prominent commission house, the market
lacked any feature. Local sentiment was
still bullish on crop advices, but complaints
from the country were fewer in that re-
spect. The close was steady. July &c high
er. at 32l4Q323sc, after ranging between
32lsc and 323sc. Receipts were ITO cars.
The feature In provisions was selling by
outsiders, together with small offerings by
local bears. There was some covering by
shorts late In the day. which caused bet
ter tone in the situation. September pork

tul In buying cattle that are below the standard
Of the requirements at this time. Heifers. in
general way. have also been rather difficult to
sell this week at lower prices, and. in fact. all
cattle except cow stuff have suffered
duction IN values. Cows of all kinds continue
scarce and have been salabe at strong prices.
There has been fair request for the choice light
steers and account of their scarcity they
have sold at reasonably satisfactory figures.
Bulls have not changed materially in prices. but
there Is rather slow outlet for the heavier
grades. The calf market has been just about
steady. The highest prices paid this week were
SIS for fat steers-although $50 was offered for
such kinds-feeders have sold high $3.50.
but 1t required very good kinds the latter part
of the week to bring $40. Heifers sold high
as s5.2s although sLso practically the top.
and the extreme price for cows was S45o. Bulls
sold high $4-25 and calves as high as 81
The receipts to-day were as large as usual on
Saturday. but consisted principally of a class OF
thin stock for which there was very little de-
mand. Several loads OF good cattle were carried
over from yesterday. but the demand
better and comparatively few sales were re-
ported Most OF the business to-day in
the female butcher cattle line and the sales were

Inc Financier says: THE official state
ment of the New York associated banks last
week showed a somewhat unexpected gain
in loans, this item being increased $9,001,-
00. This probably reflects in part the in
crease in the previous week and also some
syndicate negotiations. The cash showed a
net gain of only s1,366,6OO, instead of an in
crease CT $5,0S1, 200, as estimated from the
HaceaDle movements Of money during the
week. This discrepancy probably reflects
WITHDRAWALS or cash by trust companies
preparatory to compliance with the reserve
requirement which will become effective on
June 1, and possibly some of the reCeding
trust companies may have drawn on their
cash deposits in banks. The statement as
regards cash. was most likely made on ris-
ing averages, for the assistant treasurer
was heavily debtor at the clearing house
at the last day Of the bank week. The
deposits were increased $1O,074, 500, which
amount corresponded very closely with that
called for by the increase in loans and the
net gain in cash, therefore, the statement
may be regarded as harmonious. The re-
CURED reserves were increased S2,5lS, 625
through the augmented deposits, and de-
Quoting from this sum the gain i'm cash
leaves Sl,l52,O25 as the decrease in surplus
reserve. which item now stands at $10O29, S25
Computed on the basis OF DEPOSITS, less
those of $37, 800 of public funds, the sur
plus is Sc, 342, 025. This disclosure of
the reduction of the surplus reserve had
somewhat of a sentimental effect on the
market on Saturday, as is customary when
but there was no good reason for expect
ing an advance in rates for money, or any
less liberal offerings, for there is still a
great abundance or loanable funds"

NEW YORK, May 9.-The market to-
day was influenced principally by the an
ticipation of poor bank statement and
the news from the far East Oliver and
the floor traders sold a considerable line of
stock and it was said that Washington
Conner. who came home bullish. sold some
of his favorite stocks. Metropolitan Sc
curities slumped, due to selling by people
who did not care to pay the second INSTALL
ment Inc bank statement was much more
favorable than was anticipated and bears
good comparison with that of the CORE
spending week of last year. The market
throughout the session was dull and listless
purely a traders market without commits
sion business of any kind.

NEW YORK, May Stalk of increasing
labor troubles with some discussion of the
Russian political situation caused some SELL
ing for both accounts early. Later the dis
appointing bank statement led to further
selling of about the same character. The
increase Of nine millions in loans puzzles
the street. No one seems to be able to ac-
count for it in absence of stock specufa-
ton. Sentiment at the close seemed to IA
vor lower prices next week.
