EGGS IN COM Nj ERCE

The growing dependence of the
United States upon foreign countries
for part of its food supply lends
interest to a special statement re-
garding imports and exports OF eggs,
prepared by the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, Department
of Commerce. Imports Of eggs in the
month of December last amounted TO
l5l4.296 dozens, or more than in the
entire fiscal year which ended with
June. 1913. In the fiscal year 1903
the imports amounted to 36S,OOO
dozens; in 1910, $4,000; in 1913, l.
367 900 dozens; and in the first three
months under the new tarin law
October, November and December
last-during which period eggs were
admitted free of duty, the imports
aggregated 1,701, 1853 dozens, most OF
them arriving in, the month OF De
cember. Recent consular advlces
from China and European ports in
dictate continued large increases In
the shipments of eggs to this coun
try.
Eggs other than those in the natur
al condition are, still subject to duty
though at reduced rates, and these
show increasing imports in the brlel
period for which the emonthly figures
are at hand. Frozen or preserved
eggs. the duty on which is, now
cents per pound, compared with
cents a dozen under the former tar
if, show for the last three months d
1913 a total importation of aDou,
10 per cent ad yalorem instead OF q
per cent, as under the old law, ag
gregatad about 100000 pounds, anC
dried eggs, 1884 pounds for the three
months ended with December. In
each case the imports were consider
ably larger than those for the cores
ponding period of 1912.
The countries contributing the eggs
imported into the United States are
few in number. Our imported eggs
are chiefly the product of China, 81
IBERIA, Russia and Southern Europe
those arriving from England and Ger
many having been for the most par'
shipped into those countries for re
sale to foreign markets. OF eggs i'm
ported in the natural state, England
is the chief nominal source, next In
order being China Gncluding Hong
kong and Canada. Frozen eggs are
chiefly from England, with smaller
quantities from Hongkong. Egg
yolks come almost exclusively from
Germany, which imports large quaint
tiles of eggs from the producing cen
tiers of Europe and Asia and re-ex
ports them in this form TO the Uni
ted States and other parts OF the
world
Most of the imported eggs enter
through the ports of New York, Phil
adalpha, Boston, San Francisco, Bal
timore, Milwaukee, Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland, Oregon. Hawaii also
receives considerable quantities oil
frozen eggs or preserved eggs from
Hongkong, an important distributing
point for Chinese products.
Exports of eggs during the year
ended with December. 1913, amount.
ed to 1923 million dozens, compared
with practically 10 million in l9l2

in 1903, a decade ago. While exports
Of eggs are still much greater than
imports, the closing months OF the
year showed a distinctly downward
tendency I'm exports and an upward
trend in imports of that commodity.

WILD OATS.


You may sow Wild oats in the days OF
youth,
And think it a harmless game,
But, alas! when the glamour of youth
is fed, - - .-...-..
You will harvest the crop with shame.
You may daily along the primrose path
And gaily dismiss all fears,
But when the end of the path is
reached =~-fs
Youll water it with your tears.
You may scorn the warning OF a
parent or friend,
While the wine of life runs red;
But the day will come when the SKY
is dark
And the hope of youth has fed.
For the wisdom of ages has surely
taught,
That a life of sin will yield
Naught but grief and a broken heart
And a place in the Potter's field.
But you who live for higher things,
Than the tinsel and glitter of sin,
Have the promise of God, that the
victory,
At last you will surely win?
And what though the way be rough
and dark, -
And you weary In the race,
Remember His promise that at the
end
You will see Him face to face.
