MARKETS FOR EGGs, SAYS OFFICIAL REPORT


WASHINGTON, March 4.-Exporta-
tion of eggs from the United States
last year, Notwithstanding high prices,
was the largest ever recorded, says an
official report. While current market
reports and current discussions of the
cost of living indicate unusually high
prices in the domestic markets for this
article of consumption and commerce,
the bureau of statistics is reporting a
larger exportation' in this line than
ever before. The number of eggs sent
to foreign countries in the year ending
with December, 1911, was thirteen and
one-quarter million dozen, valued at
two and three-quarters million dollars,
while the highest record of any earlier
calendar year was eight and one
quarter million dozen, valued at one
and three-quarters million dollars in
1907. In addition to this. there were
sent to Hawaii and Porto Rico about
10000 dozen. Meantime the importa.
tion of eggs in 1911 amounted to less
than one million dozen, valued at about
$4,000.
Trade currents in this article of com
merce have shown remarkable change
in recent years. Formerly the importa,
tion of eggs was large and the exporta'
ton small. A quarter of century ago
an importation of fifteen million dozen
eggs was not unusual, the imports of
1884, 1885, and 1886 having in each
year exceeded sixteen million Dozen

aged but about one quarter or million
dozen annually. Last year the imports
were less than a million dozen, while
the exports, as above indicated, were
thirteen and one-quarter million dozen
The reduction of the importation OF
eggs occurred Immediately following
| the enactment of the tariff law of 1890
which placed duty upon that article
of commerce, and the imports of eggs
which had ranged as high as sixteen
million dozen per annum, exceeding
| fifteen millions in the fiscal year 1890

of this class of merchandise. On the
other hand, the bulk of the eggs i'm
ported in the fiscal year 1911 came
from England which is itself 4 very
large importer of eggs. OF the one and
half million dozen eggs imported in
the fiscal year 1911, one and one
quarter million dozen were from
England and about quarter of a mil
lion from China and Hongkong. This
item of eggs imported does not include
the yolks brought from other countries
of. which the quantity imported from,
Canada amounted to 100000 pounds
and from Germany $4,000 pounds in
the year ending June 80, 1911.
This large expectation of eggs in the
face of the extremely high prices ex-
listing in the United States suggests
that prices of this class of merchandise
must also be high in other parts of the
world, and this is confirmed by consular
reports reaching the department Of
commerce and labor, which, Indicate
that prices of eggs and other provisions
are unusually high in England, France,
Austria, Germany, Spain, Japan, and
many other countries.

remarked that there ought to BIO an

Big Settlement Plan.
Governor Frear told of plans for the
opening of nearly 1000 more acres of
land in the same vicinity, enough ia
accommodate couple of hundred
homesteaders.
Trent said that he hoped that the lots
offered would be large enough so that
the settlers could make a living.
"Our idea is twenty acre lots" said
the Governor, "and we plan to allow
persons who think they can handl,
more to take two adjoining lots. II
leaves it to the settlers TO say what
they can handle"
Trent remarked that he thought that
was splendid solution of difficulty
to which Trent referred at the las
meeting, when he declared his obiec

lots on the ground that they could no

GHOSTS OF THE CAPITOL

When the body of President Garfield
lay in state in the capitol. An old en-
gineer who was employed In the base
ment, and who ridiculed the idea OF
ghosts. decided to be revenged upon
the watchmen and policemen who re-
NAMED In the building through the
night. He procured two large Eng
fish walnuts and securely tied the half
shells to the four feet of pet cat and
carefully turned her loose in Statuary
hall. The noise of those shells on the
marble floor at midnight. in the semi
darkness as the distracted cat scam
pered about trying to get rid OF her
new shoes, gave the watchers the
fright of their lives. This incident,
though a harmless joke, gave rise to
the story Of the spectral footsteps
which follow all those who have to
cross the rotunda in Statuary hall
after the building Is closed for the
night
The rotunda has its own especial
haunt. The prevailing belief in re-
gard to this particular haunt Is that
on certain days. presumably anniver-
saries, the bent and huddled up figure
Of workman with his tools may be
seen fitting through the section. The
foundation for this idea doubtless
arose from the account Of the death
Of a workman which occurred there
during the early days OF the construc-
ton Of the capitol. He lost his foot
ing upon a scaffold and was killed by
the fall to the floor.
