day, as Usual

Increased receipts of local ranch eggs
resulted in a slight decline ON the
produce exchange yesterday, the present
jobbing quotation being 21c for ranch
candled and 1S%c for local case, count.
The receipts yesterday were close TO
two carloads, including eggs that were
brought in by ranchers in wagons: 1t is IS
the rule of the quotation committee TO
be governed largely by the posted re-
ceipts and the bid and asked price on
change in fixing the daily quotations.
While the consumption is quite heavy
at present the production seems to Keep
pace with the demand. Dealers do not
want eggs to accumulate, for the cold
storage rooms are well filed, 80.
New peas and beans are plentiful IN
tho vegetable list and are quoted lower
peas at &c and 21ac a pound
Berries were in large supply, yesterday,
the stock selling at 4c and &c a box.
The turbulent sea has kept fishermen
out of the boats and the fish supply has
been rather limited this week. Storage

absence was discovered.
The affair has been gerplexing the
Northwestern officials and causing
them to make special inquiries regard
ing his whereabouts. knight started
out of Eagle Grove Saturday on freight
train No. 10. He was one the train
until after leaving Jewell, but between
Jewell and Clifford the brakeman was
missed and has not been heard of
since.
The train was In charge of Conduct
or Devensee. He stated to the local
police that knight was head brake
man on his. train and that at Jewell
they did some switch work. knight at
tending to his duties as usual. It was
after they had left Jewell and pulled
into Clifford to kick" out car that,
they were to leave there that knight
was missed. They looked all over the
yards for him but were unable to lo-j
cate him, and at once notified the of

all along the track between Jewell and
Clifford, but up until last evening no
