New York. FEB. 1G.-Specuiatcrs in
storage eggs in New York city have
lost from $1.500,0G0 to $4,000 900 this
season Wholesale dealers say that
the profits made last year in eggs had
lured many 10 invest heavily last sum-
mer, but this year. although fresh
eggs have been unusually high in
price. the stored product has been a
burden to the owners.
The speculative movement which is
not q corner. the dealers say began in
April last and is now practically end
ed. The buyers We're so eager to get
eggs last summer that they bid up the
prices to % and "a cents dozen, and
these We're the prices paid for most of
the product which was placed in the
warehouses. A year before the buyers
had easily obtained all the eggs that
they desired at Is cents, so there was
a handicap at the beginning this year.
The eggs rushed into the warehouses
between last April and September have
never gone up in price sufficiently to
repay the holders for their outlay and
the expenses Of keeping the product,
including warehouse charges. breakage.

usually borrow money from banks on
warehouse receipts. Although fresh
eggs went up steadily all the fall until
the fancy grades got to so cents doZ-
en- at wholesale, the storage eggs found
their highest mark at % cents early il
January.
The cost of keeping the eggs up to
this time is put at four to five cents a
dozen, so that even if they We're sold
at the highest price which the stored
eggs reached this year the holders
would have barely got what they paid.
Only a small quantity of the eggs
was sold at the top figures. however,
because the holders feared that if they
tried to unload supplies too freely the
market would break. Besides they
kept hoping that prices would go high
er before the end OF this month. Last
year the holders of storage eggs easily
got 20 to 81 cents a dozen for the eggs
which they had bought at IS cents.
The slump in the last week has add
ed to the distress of the holders of
storage eggs The grades known as
"frsts.' comprising the bulk of the
supplies, were quoted yesterday at 90
to q cents. The dealers figure that
there is loss OF from so cents to ST.
or more on every case of storage eggs
now sold out of the warehouses; Each
case contains so dozen.
AS Feb. l approached the banks
which loan on the warehouse receipts
began pressing the holders to meet
their obligations Added tn the other
unfavorable influences there have been
in the last few days increased receipts
OF strictly fresh eggs from the South
and West. and with fresh eggs grad
ually going down i'll price the outlook
for the warehouse stock is maze all the
more hopeless.

SOME ODD sALUTEs.

Other Ceremonies.

In foreign countries the ceremonies
and customs, observable at meeting and
parting are frequently OF a very SOL

forced with the strictest rigor by tho

The Moors at their meetings kiss the
right shoulders of one another, and
kiss each others knees. In Morocco
foreigners are saIuted by The Moors on
horseback in a manner which may we'll
startle those unaccustcmed to 1t. The
Moor rides full speed toward the stran-
ger as if TO run him down. He then
suddenly stops and discharges his pis-
toll over his head. In Africa, among
several negro nations, the people take
each others hands and pull the fingers
till they crack.
If the men on the gold coast OF Upper
Guinea salute a female, they take her

people take of their clothes, fall on

Before the statute of 1905 was enact.

per mad gained a settlement in the city
of Waterville, and the statute, though
by its application to a section of the
revised statute referred to therein is
for some purposes retrospective. can
not be construed as 10 deprive him of
any benefits which he had previously
acquired by such settlement. But the
word settlement" in reference to pau
pers is technical and is used exclusive
ly in relation to the dispensing of pub
lie charity.
BY this settlement the paurer had
the right in case Of need to support
from the inhabitants OF The city of Wa
terville in which he had his settle
ment. In other words he had the right
to have the support provided by law
furnished to him by that city. II is
now necessary 10 consider whether 4
change by statute of the burden of
support from that municipality 10 the
State impaired his rights
The rule against retroactive legisla
ton, in the absence of constitutional
provisions forbidding it, does not apply
unless it interferes with contract or
vested property rights.
The Legislature has the power TO i'm
pose. upon the State itself, or upon par
tlcular municipalities the support OF
pauperS as it may choose.
The obligation for support results
from positive law and not from con-
tract express or implied.
When the alien pauper had need of
support the obligation to provide it. by
the provisions of the new statute rest
ed solely upon the State and was ade-
quate as when by statute it prospec-
lively rested upon the city in which ha
had acquired his settlement
Chapter 142 of the Public Laws OF
1905 legally repealed the provisions OF
the Revised Statutes subjecting towns
TO pay for the support of aliens or their
families on account of their poverty
or distress. and substituted provision
that the relief furnished such persons
shall be as provided in case of persons
having no legal settlement within the
State.
The settlement of Peter Eigue is not
material in this case. 1t did not confer
citizenship. When the relief was fur
nished him he was an alien, and the
statute brought it within the provisions
of Section SS, Chapter 2. of the Re
vised Statutes.

SUGGESTS NEW LAW.
Gov. Draper Would Have Bank Com
..- missioner Supervise Auditing.

Boston. Feb. n.-Governor Draper
sent a special message to the Legisla-
turc today suggesting that the law re-
garding bank supervi ion be changed
so as to place the auditing of the ac-
counts of the banks in the hands of the
bank commissioner, with the individual
banks paying the expense.
The governor cites the Southbridge
bank as showing the necessity for
such change, and claims that the
present law places the responsibility
on the trustees.
In conclusion the governor says:
whether the added expense should be
borne by the state or by the banks
themselves, q compulsory auditing I'M
der the direction of the bank commis-
sioner should be required by law"
The recommendations of the COVER
nor will be taken up by the joint COM
