Jump in Eggs.

The cold weather has caused the low
ly hen. to quit her job, and eggs on
the local market have advanced to 40
cents per dozen, with prospects of go
ing still higher unless the backbone OF

are unable to supply their customers
with many articles common at this
season of the year, and the shipment
of early vegetables from extreme
Southern points has entirely ceased.
Many of the grocery stores find IL ex-
tremely difficult to run their delivery
wagons on account of the bad condi-
ton of the streets Of the city.
