at 30 and 3S cents a dozen, sold to-day
for 3S and 40 cents a dozen. Few deal
ors were able to get a supply of fresh
eggs, and crate eggs were largely In
demand. Crate eggs are being sold at
wholesale from 26 % 28 conts a dozen.
LAST weeks price. and there are no in
dications that tho supply is limited. It
is believed by dealers here that Tho
price Of crate eggs viii drop slightly.in
Ia few days owing 70 the tightness IF
money Fresh eggs arc in active de.
mand, however. and tho advance IN
price has raised a howl.
Dealers were unable to supply the
demand to-day, despite the increased
price, and housewives had to fan back
on cold storage eggs. The increase In
he price OF eggs WIN affect nearly
every household in the country. Die
tary studies made by the Department
Of Agriculture at Washington show
that eggs furnish three per cent OF tho
total food consumed in the country.
Whether eggs are dear or cheap. IN
the nutritive sense. whe nthey soar to
present prices is a mooted question
among economic investigators. Some
contend that eggs at 25 cents a dozen
are cheaper than meat at the same
price per pound, because eggs go fur
ther than meat. Others believe that
at Is or is cents a dozen, eggs are a
cheap source Of nutrlment but that tho
housekeeper who buys them for a
steady diet at s5 cents is guilty Of ex-
travagance.

Several Of the retail merchants OF

suggestion made recently by The Wash

should be undertaken early this year. be-
fore the rush OF the last days. when
stocks are depleted, and the buyer works
at every disadvantage in the selection

To the merchants this is a matter or
vital importance, as each year the rush
during the week before The holidays be
comes greater and greater. until il has
seemed al times that the limit OF en-
durance would be passed and the crush
Of work put upon the retail stores by
dilatOry shoppers would result in the sac

view that there is no good reason why
the holiday purchase should not be made

are actually needed, If the people OF
