PRICE OF EGGS.
Receipts During the Week Response
BILE for the Drop.

Persons who are observing Lenten rules
are happy to know that there is a decided
change in the egg market, and that dealers
are no longer asking fancy prices for the
product. 1t is stated that the receipts of
eggs during recent days have been so great
that it was impossible to longer maintain
high figures.
Haulers from Maryland and Virginia
brought in so many eggs last week that the
price fell to 20 cents a dozen. Yesterday
some of the haulers asked % cents re-
tail, but before noon they were glad to get
20 cents. 1t is believed that eggs will be
still cheaper the coming week Reports from
other sections of the country show that
they are generally plentiful.
Many shippers in Virginia, Tennessee and
other southern states ship their eggs to
New York and Philadelphia because they
usually get better prices in those cities
than they do here, but, it is stated, some
of them lost considerable money during
the past few days. Their loss, it is
stated, was due to the change in the mar
ket from the time of shipment to the time
the eggs were received. 1t is predicted by
some of the dealers that the local market
will be glutted this week.

AS RECORD FIGURES
PRICES PAID IN THE VICINITY
OF 18TH AND n STREETS.

A sale of property of consequence has
just been made. Mr.. John T. Arms states
that he has sold the property 1911 H street,
which belonged to him and which is part
of the large frontage on that street upon
which an option was said to have been
given short time ago to syndicate for
the purpose Of locating there a theater
building.
The name of the purchaser is not given,
but he Is said by Mr.. Arms to be con-
sentative investor. The improvements con-
sist of an old dwelling which does not
figure in the transaction as of any value.
The lot has a frontage of twenty-five feet
and a depth of seventy-nine and one-half
feet to an alley and contains 1887 square
feet. The price paid was 81 ,So7, which is
at the rate of Sill per square foot.
The property is a short distance west of
the northwest corner of 18th and H streets,
which was purchased last week by the
Mutual Fire Insurance Company. In the
case of the latter property the value of
the old dwelling was not considered. The
lot has a frontage of twenty-five feet on
H street and depth of 104 feet to an alley
and contains 1853 square feet. The price
paid was nearly $4,000, which is at the
rate of $11.50 per square foot
In both instances the prices secured are
looked upon as record figures for property
in the locality in question.

The machinery of the vessel was also
given a general overhauling. The Yerkes,
it is stated, is under charter to tow fish
laden lighters from the lower river to this

ployed in general towing work on Chesa-
peake bay and the Potomac river.

RoWBoAT FERRY
Enterprise at Fox's Ferry Opens Ur
for the Summer.

The rowboat ferry between Alexandria
and the Maryland shore, at Fox's ferry,
which has been discontinued for several
months on account Of the Ice, has resumed
service, and passengers are being ferried
across the river daily. Until about ten
years ago a small steamer was used on
this route. but the filing UP of the channel
through the flats opposite Alexandria and
the refusal Of Congress to dredge 1t out
caused the abandonment of the convenient
enterprise. When the steam ferry was in
service market wagons laden with the
products Of the farms on the lower end of
the District and in Maryland were con-
veyed across the river and were brought
from Alexandria to this city by the ferry
line. thus saving the long drive over the
roads to market here.
The little side-wheel steamer Virginia was
used on the route, and Captain James
Griffin was her commander. 1t is said that
Captain Griffin was both pilot and engineer
of the boat, and that as captain he would
ring the bells to go ahead or to stop, and
then running to the engine room would
become engineer and answer them, but this
cannot be stated as a fact.
From time to time since the steam ferry
was abandoned there has been talk of
starting It again, but the talk has up to
this time amounted to nothing. Old Captain
Grimm. after his ferry died, was appointed
janitor of the Washington School at Alex
andrta. The captain died several years ago.

UNIQUE DEPARTURE.
Associated Charities Establishes
Coal Loan Fund,

What is described as a new and unique
departure in local charitable work is the
special coal loan fund.-" developed in con-
nection with the Associated Charities by
Miss Sara Todd, a volunteer worker in the
northeast division conference. The fund
provides coal for needy families in ton,
half ton or quarter ton lots, allowing the
families aided to pay each week for the
number of bushels used. at ton rates. The
families benefited are self-respecting people
who desire to provide for their own needs,
and the coal loan fund serves them from
buying fuel at high rates by the bushel.
During the spring and summer a large
number of families will be invited to join
a special Goal Club and to lay by a small
amount of money every week for the pur-
chase OF their next winters fuel. The
stamp savings system of the Associated
Charities will be used in collecting savings
for the Goal Club"
To start the ''coal loan fund" this winter
Miss Todd secured the following contribu
tons. which have been deposited in the
golden book fund.- Of the Associated Char
tiles: Mrs: Josephine B. Crane, $40: Miss
Maud K: Wetmore, s.; Mrs A. B. Legare.
SO; Mrs. N. 8. Simpkins, So; Mrs c. c.
Glover, $40; Miss ]. H. Purdy, $40, and Dr.
Clarissa B. Tufts, S..
In addition to the contributions $13 has
been repaid by families to whom coal was
advanced.
