But the cold storage egg is inferior because
the fresh egg advocate argues the chicklet has
a chance to grow little before the yellow inside
freezes, thus storing up nasal evidence against
the purity of the product
For the housewife in the big city there is an
everyday opportunity to effect a coup for when
she can find producer who sells "eggs laid fresh
to-day" she considers herself model of wfely
devotion But as there is no smell on the outside
of the shell there are often lots of angry glances
from the male partner in the household, which
are born of the unborn chick.
The length of time that an egg Will keep fresh
is governed by the which is taken in It's
preservation. They are packed in ice as RUE
and if packed soon enough after being laid, the
chicken life is properly killed and thus the an
cry eyeto-eye message is eliminated
Suitable to the occasion is the aged tale of the

Other great egg corners have been manipulated and
the profits doubtless have been even greater, but
they seldom to the public ear because OF the
shekels which raked in from the enterprise
In the egg mentioned above, scores of men
worked day and night for two days getting the prod
lct out of cold storage to place them on the market
while the price held up.
The workmen were where they could be called at
once, and the minute the word came over the tee-
phone get the great crates out of the cold storage
the toilers were set to work. Two days
later every egg had been sold, the money collect

1t was a great coup and only one of the many.
Other enterprises of like nature where the pro
ceeds have ranged into large figures, have been
told, but the details seldom became public prop

Corner is to-day a rather undeveloped science.
But the monarchs of other branches of the pro

the days to come.
Early this month when eggs ceases returned)
were bringing only 10 cents dozen, wholesale,
the lover of them felt fairly jubilant and barn
yard prognostcators predict that this jubllant
feeling shall prevail for the rest of the summer
Extra quality eggs then selling at % cents
a dozen, while ordinary "frsts' brought 10 cents
and ''frsts" cent more dozen, prime hrsts'
selling at 81 cents
So, with the sway of the strawberry the price OF
eggs dropped off and before August, it is said the
cost may go lower.
With the private producers, who sell only linn
tied quantities of eggs, 40 cents dozen is not an
unheard of figure for what known eggs

tie must be undisputed, and often when eggs are
sold backed by reputation for freshness, high

Two men are said to have cleaned
up $45,50 in very short time last
Saturday or Monday by the cashing "
worthless checks. The victims were
saloonmen at the south bridge, but
t1ey are taking their medicine and
their names are hermetically sealed up

that at least two clothing men in

issuing the checks to be able to give
any description whatever-they do say,
however, that they were white men. A
well known business man on Front

well for victims to display an air of
nonchalance, but the cashing of worth

well relished by discriminating mer-

Liverpool, Aug 25. Wheat was
steady at the start with values nos
higher. Shorts were nervous and in
duced to cover, being influenced by
the unfavorable crop advices from the
American northwest. Following the
opening and during the remainder Of
the morning session the market was
under severe pressure and prices lost
A@1& with the principal weakness in
September. Free liquidation was the
result of the improved grading Of
hard winter wheat, freer American Of
f~rlngs, liberal and lower Russian Of
ferings and the quiet demand for car
goes. The early weakness in Berlin
was occasioned by a bearish official
German report and this also tended to-
ward free liquidation. At midday the
market was heavy with values No

slight support in December The corn

Stock Market.

New York, Aug. 25.--There was
great deal of optimism shown toward
the stock market today. Mr.. Harri-
mans physical condition was greatly
manifested by the bear interest and
their selling was very persistent on the
bulges. Although bullish sentiment has
been modified in certain quarters, we
see no reason to change our position
on the market. We regard the buying
on the declines much better than the
selling and with the short interest well
extended is it reasonable to expect a
substantial rally at any moment The
market will be all the better for this
reactionary movement and as soon as
the cleaning up process is through we
expect to go higher than ever. We
advise purchases on the breaks and
holding for good profits.
