OF BUTTER
AND EGGS SOAR
SKYWARD
Rise in Two Staples That
Is Unprecedented in the
History of Local Market
COST SHUTS OUT
AVERAGE BUYER

The numerous facetious expressions
anent the strength of butter and eggs
are nnding justification just now in
the minds of many people of San Fran
cisco. Butter is very strong at the
moment and eggs are a tower of
strength. This does not mean that
butter is exhaling an offensive odor or
that eggs are nauseating, as might be
implied, but it is from a commercial
standpoint that both articles are show
ing unmistakable evidences Of strength.
Judging from the comparatively mea-
ger quantities of these staples that
nave been coming cityward during the
last several days, it would seem that
the cows in the interior pastures had
suddenly ceased yielding milk to the
creamery men and that the California
hens had formed a union and gone on
strike. Prices of both staples have
taken such jump that it is highly
probable that many breadwinners even
IN THESE prosperous times, will decree
that their families must do without
them. 1t is also within the range of
possibility that proprietors of res
taurants will be obliged to make an
additional charge for the churned ex-
tract of COW, as well as revising their
price lists on eggs.
AS natural result of long spell of
unfavorable weather, the production Of
butter and eggs throughout the State
fell far below the normal and an actual
shortage developed in the market
With stocks in cold storage practically
exhausted and there being no Eastern
goods here with which to bridge the
gap, the shortage has become so acute
as to cause prices to shoot skyward
much after the manner of a skyrocket
The price of the best eggs at whole
sale jumped yesterday from 40 cents
to 90 cents dozen, the advance of Is
cents being the sharpest ever known
to occur in one day. Butter went up
from 40 to Az cents pound, this rise
also being unprecedented in the history
of the local market. The new prices are
the highest that ever prevailed in San
Francisco at this time of the year On
Saturday the retail price of eggs was
so cents a dozen for the best; today
they will cost consumers from 60 TO 65
cents. the latter figure being the price
likely to be charged by most retailers.
Butter, which was selling last week al
80 cents a square, is now up to 81 ami
S1.05.
The cost of both articles is now such
as to be practically prohibitive to the
average buyer and unless the weather
moderates or something happens to re-
lieve the situation the dairy produce
business will experience dull times.

HOM|C|DAL PAUPER
GOES To PRISON

Charles McCabe. 20 years of age and
until last week an inmate of the aims
house, was sentenced to six months in
the County Jail by Judge Weller yes
terday Only the age and pitiable
physical condition of the old man, who
is a paralytic, saved him from standing
trial in a higher court than the Police
Court and from probable confinement
in State Prison.
McCabe was arraigned on charge
of assault to commit murder The Of

CURED last Thursday, when in a fit of
rage he attacked another Inmate of

McCabe had filed down and bent into
the shape of a dagger. After his arrest

c. W. Moores, for eighteen years a

cause for his suspension. Moores op-

In Shadow of Gallows He
Virtually Confesses Muir
der of Brother-in-Law
REQUESTS THAT HIS
BODY BE DISSECTED

In the shadow of the gallows. the
fear of the unknown future has en-
tered the heart Of Leon Soeder, con-
Nicted of the murder of his brother-in-
law, and the condemned man yesterday
made what amounts to confession.
At San Quentin prison yesterday --e
asked that his body be turned over to
medical men for dissection. When
pressed for a reason for his request he
explained that he did not want the soul
of his victim to haunt his remains.
The approach of death, coupled with
a deep rooted superstition, forced the
man to say what detectives and attor-
neys labored in vain two years ago to
have hinladeclare. Soeder was convict
ed by circumstantial evidence. He in
duced his brother-in-law to insure his
life in Soeder's favor and then led him
to Telegraph Hill on dark night,
stabbed him and threw the body over
the bluff.
Soeder was taken to San Quentin on
Sunday. He will die on the gallows on
March %. 1t is his wish that his re-
mains be turned over to DR.. c. F. Millar
