o o SPRING TRADE.
Heavy Business Horses Are in Broade
Demand at Firmer Prices.

Chicago, ILL.,. April Informally
spring trade is passing through the
season of its greatest activity and ur-
gent demand. Spring supplies are be-
ing purchased and heavy business
classes are in better request, with
prices firmer. but not quotably higher.
Country shippers are not inclined to
make concessions on current quota
tions. as rural prices are high and the
bulk Of the receipts have been bought
On very close margains. Considering
country prices as compared. with
wholesale figures. profits on a steady
market are light and on a weak and
declining demand shippers are sure to
lose on their investment. AS COM
pared with a week ago demand and
prices are fairly steady, with indica-
tons of a reaction rather than inn
provement on current values. Small
southerliers are lower or Indifferent
demand, as the bulk Of the urgent
spring trade in the south has been
supplied. Present orders on southern
account comprise principally a class
of medium drivers at $115@135 and
upward to $3.50, with the bulk of the
purchases at $120@130. Bulk of yes
terday's sales for all classes were
closed at the following prices:

were in storage hardly any eggs have
yet been stored this year.
MOI does the prospect of storing
eggs at any reasonable figure seem
very bright. The eastern markets are
short on eggs in studying the demand
for immediate use. The receipts have
been large, but the consumption has
been enormous. Eggs have been bring
ing IL to 10 cents in New York and
Boston, because of this shortage.
Because Of this price no one can at
ford to store eggs as against selling
them at the present market figure.
Then again none of the local dealers
believe that the present high price in
the eastern markets will last and x
pect that at any moment the price will
drop. 1t is stated that the bad condi-
lions of the roads and other agencies
have kept down the receipts from the
country and that soon the markets
will be filled to Overlooking. The fear
of this coming drop has kept down the
local prices.
Potatoes Higher.
The trend in the wholesale price of
potatoes seems still to be higher. A
card issued at the first of this week
by n large local dealer gives prices
in wholesale lots at from 70 to so
cents on eating and seed stock, accord
ing to the quality.

LONGER RARYHooD is NEEDED.
More Mother Care for Infants Advo.
Gated by Michigan Woman.

Kalamazoo, Mich, April liz
make a plea for longer infancy for the
American baby. The chief need of the
child of today is to be cuddled and NOT
coddled. He should have more OF
those things which his mother car
give, less of the things that money can
buy. II the mother does no more fol
her child than the nurse girl, the love
for the mother will disappear in time
Thus spoke Miss Harriet Mash, a De,
troit lawyer, in addressing the Ladies
Library association yesterday after
noon on "The Evolution of Infancy
Tracing the development Of the child
from the age of primeval man, she
said: "As man grows more and more
intelligent babyhood will become long

HAIL TO THE Hen
MISSOURI EDITOR SUGGESTS USE
OF FESTIVE BIRD AS THE
STATE FLOWER
Honor Is lowa's, Since Hawkeye State
Stands Supreme in the Matter Of
HennerIes-The Egg Sltuation-The
General Markets.

Down in the land of the reformers
and trust busters, the land of the cast
iron lid, the stamping ground OF the
Folks and Hadleys, otherwise known
as Missouri, someone has lifted the lid
long enough to allow the editor of the
Maryville Tribune to uncork the fol-
lowing while discussing the state flow
er question:
"We favor the hen as the state
flower because she pays off mortgages.
She buys food and drink and clothes
for her owner. She sends the young
men and women to school and keeps
them there-longer sometimes, 1T must
be confessed, than is good for them.
She blossoms early rand late, in fair
weather and in foul, and everywhere
she is plucked with enthusiasm and
with acclaim. Why this great common
wealth of ours is one glorious bouquet
of magnificent flowers-cochins, leg
horns, Plymouth Rocks, Black Spanish
and others as nero as pin feath-
ers on a pullet. OF course, we've got
a state flower. And there's scarcely a
home in all Missouri which doesn't
have one of them on the table at least
every Sunday for dinner"
Taken on it's face value Iowa should
naturally have first choice at this to
work out the plan proposed by the Mis-
souri, genius. None other can COM
pare with the Hawkeye state in the
hennery business. Of course, there
would be some danger of the people
losing their senses during the winter
and wishing to make craven images of
old biddy as she "sat" in her nest with
the d~elicacies known only to herself
and pecked at the passersby.
But perhaps the price on eggs will
not be as high this winter al it has
been in previous years, and then again
it may be. The truth is that just what
the situation in regard to storage eggs
will be next winter, is an open ques-

The Egg Situation.
The season just passed brought with
it more than it's share Of misfortune
and a large amount of education to
certain dealers, who had thought the
storage business a sure get-rich-quick
scheme.
Many good resolutions were made
as to what prices eggs should be
stored at in order to insure a fair pro-

last season. But now these same deal
ers stand at the beginning of a new
season, with all it's opportunities and
possibilities.
What they will do is a question. AS
one local egg dealer said recently, "It's
only a matter of nerve" Some of the
fellows who got caught last year will
be timid about repeating the dose this
year while others will figure that their
luck must change.
Actual situations which face the egg
business and which should have some
effect on the storage matter are these:

the middle Of April and where last
