LESSON FROM NEW JERSEY.
Several Cities Secure 80 Cent Cas-
Uniform Price Being Fixed.

Special to lmes-Republlcan.
Des Moines, Jan. 2.-The fight IN
Iowa for cheaper gas rates in the cities
recalls that by and thru public serv-
ice commission the city residents OIL
New Jersey are approaching an era OF
cheap gas. The commission IN that
state the other day ordered that IN
Paterson, Passaic and neighooring
towns, the gas rate should be reduced
from s11O to 80 cents: and also rec
commended that the big company Wnlcn
supplies gas to most of the cities OF the
state fix a uniform rate of 80 cents all
thru. Some of the opposition to pup
lie utilities commission in Iowa mas
arisen from a belief that such com
mission might be a shelter for the Dig
corporations so that it would be I'M
possible to get action in behalf OF the
people. In the New Jersey case, 1t IS
pointed out, the opposite has been the
result. Des Moines will continue the
fight for 80 cent gas and 1t is the gen
eral belief here that the company
would very quickly concede 1t and END
litigation but for the moral effect else
where.

EGGS DROP SEVEN CENTS.
Warm Weather and Heavy Storage Re-
ceints Cause Of Decline.

Warm Weather and Heavy Storage He'
ceipts Cause Of Decline.
Cedar Rapids, Jan. With verit-
able smash the price OF eggs slumped to
the extent Of cents per dozen in Cedar
Rapids the last two days OF the year.
SO heavy drop In the price OF eggs at
this time of the year Is an extraordi'
nary event.
Prominent grocers in the business
district are selling fresh eggs at q
cents per dozen and 30 cents per dozen
Last week these same grocers sold
fresh eggs at IS cents per dozen. The
Wholesale price. the price paid by the
grocer to the farmer, is now only 20
cents. Storage eggs are now sold by
the grocers at ~ cents. but as the fresh
article is cheap, nobody wants storage
eggs Some Of the srocers have quiz
handling storage eggs.
OF course, the warm weather 10 gen
orally responsible for the slump The
winter has been an open one and there
was no snow This enabled the old
hens to moult properly and to get into
laying condition without trouble. The
| old hens are now producing the eggs.
The young pullets shared with the old
| hens the warmth Of weather and the
opportunity to gather feed In the pas
lures and fields, and to get enough
exercise TO get themselves in CONDITION
to lay early. They are now producing
| the eggs with astonishing energy.
| But there Is also another cause. and
this is the storage house. Grocers say
there is SO great a supply OF eggs IN
the storage houses that the storage men
are cutting prices. and as a result the
fresh eggs must drop to price thai
will not leave enough Of margin above
the storage price to induce the consum-
er to buy storage eggs only.
It Is rumored about the city thai
there will be some glorious financial
failures among the storage men OF the
United States as the result OF the pres
ent weather. much like the smashes
that occurred about two years ago when
the storage houses had an over supply
of butter and eggs.
The storage men have millions OF
dozens of eggs on their hands, but as
the fresh article Is selling almost as
low as the price which was PAID py
the storage men last spring and sum-
mer. the storage men must sell at
loss. The season is so far advanced
that there is hardly possibility OF
speH Of severe winter weather long
enough to force the hens to decrease
the fresh egg supply sufficiently to en-
able the storage m.n to dispose OF their
egg supply at even a fair price.
