coRNERiNc THE Ecc CROP.

The after Easter price of eggs has not materialized at Chicago Eggs are being rushed to that center by the carload because the prices are high for the season, and cold storage spec alation makes the competition sharp.
 It is claimed that the eariy-laid spring eggs keep better under refrig- eration than those laid later; and the number of bad eggs destroyed and the prospects of good fall prices have given the buyers an early, start.
 There is no help for it. There is no law to prevent any one from buying all the eggs they please at whatever price they may agree upon, or to com pei them to sell within a given time. We can keep all the hens we please and produce our own eggs. There is nothing to check the American hen if she sees fit to make eggs so plenty that the spectators will fail in their purpose It is everybody's game just now; but we all hope the American hen will by her work balk the spec ulators.
