High Prices on Eggs Rushed in All

Tt certainly impressed upon one the fact
this week that northwestern buyers and

this market on eggs. When the market
began to bulge early in the week, and
values went creeping up to Is cents per
dozen, outside points began gathering to-

dreds of cases sold well UP in price, but
Friday proved unlucky day, and quo
tatons eased off a full cent on strictly
fresh under the influence of the heaviest
offerings for any day Of the year. The
usual scare had been thrown into consum-
ers, and they confined their purchases to
such small lots as to discourage retailers
from buying in any but a very conserv-
ative manner. This may force values down
p shade further, but the cold snap has
frozen UP all Ideas hereabouts Of anything
like really cheap eggs for some time to
come. Consumers will take fresh guaran-
teed stock around 80 cents, but above
that figure they are eliminated from the
average bill Of fare. Spectators show a
disposition to take hold when January
eggs reach 25 cents. and it is hardly likely
that the wholesale price can go under that

The wholesale price of beef is on the
rise. Since April the price has adj
yano ed Il cent and n half, and there is
Il strong probability that it will go
higher. Within the last two weeks
there has been an advance of a cent on
n pound. From n man who is posted
on the workings of the beef market, the
Journal learns that the price IS ad-
yanced at the will of the big beef
houses by the following system. The
local houses throughout the country are
kept supplied by cars, which are re-
ceiyed from the Chicago house every
day or two. and there is plenty OF meat
offered For the past two weeks, cars
have been arriving irregularly. the
shipments being made to arrive at the
different places just in time to prevent
a panic among the local dealers. AS
the wholesale branches only carry
enough meat to supply until the next
car comes along, it can be seen that
when the cars come irregularly. there
is bound to be shortage. This is
the dodge of the packers to raise the
prices. Up to- the present time the
wholesale advance has not amounted
to enough to cause the retailers to raise
their price. but should it keep advanc-
ing a fraction of a cent every time the
wholesale houses get out OF beer, the
retail dealers will be forced to put their
prices up. -A--i.

A young son of Fred Best. Gage
street, had a bad fall, Wednesday af-
tcrnoon, which luckily was not accom-
panied by any very serious conse-
uuences. He. with another boy, was
playing I'm the loft of the stable on the
Everett Stone place, on Melville street,
which was recently purchased by A.
A. Soule, and fell through a hole where
hay is pushed down, striking on his
head and shoulders on the floor, 10 or
II feet below. +. w. Cole had just
stepped into the stable, and was within
Il few feet of the boy when he struck
the floor. When picked up, the lad
was unconscious, and Mr.. Cole quickly
wrapped him in blanket and started
for Il doctor. in his team. On the way,
however. the hoy rcgained conscious
ness enough to tell his name and where
he lived. and Mr. Cole took him home.
No bones were found broken, but the
boy got a pretty hard knock on the
head and will be lame for some time.
For boy of seven years he had had
some hard luck. for a year OF more ago,
he broke his collar bone, and before
that, had broken one of his legs.

alike. almost, as two peas. one being 4
years old. and the other, years. They
are closely built. standing 1913, and
weigh 400 each. In color they are
almost dark enough to be called black.

They are both geldings, and are a
handsome team.
