SHORTAGE CAUSES
RISE IN EGG PRICES
Dealers Expect Relief Soon.
Butter Reduced 2 Cents
on Pound

The price of eggs is advancing and now
rests at SO and SIS cents. The dealers ex-
press the opinion that the rising market
will not last long and that the price Will
soon come back to its normal level. The
reasons advanced for the upward ten
dency of the market is short supplies.
Butter was yesterday reduced Q cents
on the pound, and is now selling at 81
cents. The butter supply has become far
in advance OF the demand and this. say
the dealers, is where the drop can be ae-
counted for. The demand is fairly good,
but the supply is so far in advance of it
that a reduction in price was made by
the creamery interests.
In the fish market the only noticeable
change Is in the price of Spanish mack
erel This fish is now quoted at IA ana
Is cents and the demand is good, being
equaled by the supply.
In the produce market apples are some
what inclined to advance. and the demand
now is fine. The supply Is adequate and
the merchants express themselves In
pleased terms concerning the situation.
The market Is normal and business fine.

New York. January 27.-Cotton was
easier under scattering liquidation ap-
parently chiefly promoted by predictions
of sharp falling off in spot demand
after the first of the month. One or two
southern wire houses say demand already
has slackened and there was also a little
selling here which may have come from
southern sources, but generally speak

firmness in the interior and the small

COTTON TRADERS
PLAINLY PUZZLED
Few Sessions in Many Years
When Less Speculation
Was in Evidence

New Orleans, January 27.-The best
kind of spot accounts, higher prices and
tales of large sales, constituted one side
of the cotton market today and dull and
sagg1ng futures formed the other
Traders plainly We're puzzled over the
sions in many years when there was less
speculation in evidence. During a good
part of the session the future ring was
stagnant, and prices barely moved. Late
in the day a very moderate amount of
selling served to. create soft spot and
the close was at loss of 20 l? piints
for the day.
The market opened steady with prices
unchanged to points down. Cables on
futures were lower than expected, al
thought spot sales were fairly large. On
the call the most active months went
to points over Yesterdays final prices
and this was the high of the day. While
offerings We're small, the demand was
even smaller. At noon the market stood
at net loss of to points and toward
the close the decline amounted to 12 to
13 points.
Gossip was chiefly in connection with
the spot department. Texas sent in tele-
grams to the effect that considerable new
business was being done for February
and March shipment. but this news. like
other equally favorable items failed to
have a stimulating influence on the future
market.

BIC FALLING OFF IN

Power of Resiliency Shows

Close Nervous Is Up

Chicago January PA power of resil-
iency showed itself in wheat today after
news had been received of big falling
Off in the available supply of the world.
The market closed nervous at shade
down to lsc up compared with yester-
day Corn finished unchanged to 1sc
higher Oats were not altered but pro-
visions closed at net decline of to 10c.
During the greater part of the session
wheat seemed unable to shake off SYM
pathy with a break which prices at
Liverpool had suffered from cheap and
heavy offerings by Russia. Extremely
crop belt tended also to give an advan-
tage to the bears. There were advices
that general rains were interfering with
shipments from Argentine, but no ma
terial reaction in prices took place until
word came that the decrease in the
worlds available supply was more than
three times as great as one year be-
fore.
Export sales of flour at Kansas City
assisted the late upturn.
Current rumors had it also that the
amount of wheat in country elevators
to 10 million bushels.
Boston dispatches, continually telling OF
corn taken there for shipment to Europe
nullifled the influence of early cables that
said the Argentine corn crop virtually
had been made and would be available
two weeks ahead of the average time.
Attention was drawn to the fact that
the amount of corn on passages to Eu-
rope was only 100000 bushels. COM
pared with 26.000.0oo bushels one year
before.
A wave of support for oats came about
through the action of other grain.
Considerable interest was taken in the
reported sale of a cargo of Argentine
oats to Galveston, where cotton was to
be taken as return freight.
Provisions gave signs of hedging by
packers. The government live stock esti-
mates were very near to what was gen.
orally expected.

Attempt to Carry Further
Advance In Stocks
Checked

New York, January 27.-Attempts to
carry further the advance in stocks were
checked early in today's market, which
thereafter followed an uncertain course.
Speculation slackened and investment
buying was on a diminishing scale.
The tone at the outset was determined
largely by London. Prices of American
stock had risen sharply in that market,
and WHEN tradlng began here foreign rep
resentatives came into this market more
actively than for long time. London
bought more than $4,000 shares here, spe-
cializing in CANADIAN Pacific, Union Pa
cific, Steel and Amalgamated. Under this
impulse, Steel, touched 667s, the highest
of the movement. Only few of the lead
ers however, rose more than point, ana
heavy realizing soon effected a reaction'
