EGGS COME DOWN, BEANS GO UP.
Warm Weather and War In the Orient
%ha Houeec


Just as the war rumors have raised
the price of other provisions, the stories
of big orders for American navy beans
have boosted the price Of the product in
the markets Of the country. and there is
a chance that bean soup and pork and
beans will become as much Of a luxury
as strawberries in January.
Within the past few days the wholesale
price of ordinary beans has gone up from
25 to 80 cents a bushel. The price of
beans ranges from 1925 to $40 a bushel,
according to the quality of the beans
Yesterday the price of eggs was mod
erately reasonable, the warm spell hav-
ing had the effect of bringing the product
Of the hennery down nearer to the pocket
book of the ordinary citizen. It is prob
able that this winter will see no more ex-
orbitant prices, although a cold spell is
predicted for today.
Even in the face of the weather pre-
dictions, the price of eggs will not go
up materially, it is thought, because
extremely cold weather, such as has been
felt a great deal this winter, is not an
ticipated.

A morning paper had a sensational
story TO the effect that City Auditor

ers. When the sale OF the land was
made the latter objected to II because
they desired to retalp their holdings for

summer However, they were outvoted
by fellow members OF the company
ana the property was transferred with
the stipulation that the two cottages
owned by the Felts were theirs TO
move TO whatever place they chose
Since then they have been granted an

them aud only on Saturday did the OPP
portunty present itself 10 make the

viously received such permission from
