JERSEY CITY, March 17.-Peter
Rooney. fifty-two years old, of this
city, an employee of the Pennsylvania
railroad was yesterday acquitted by
a jury In the Court of Quarter SEES
sions of the charge of setting fire
to his wife. The jury deliberated
for two hours.

to it on January 6, last. The woman

quarrels he is alleged to have had
with his wife several days prior to

COST OF FRESH
EGGS DECREASING
Price Goes Down Five Cents
and Another Cent Foreseen.
Chinese Products Arriving.

Fresh eggs went down nye cents
dozen today. By the end of the week
there may be an additional tive-cent
drop, bringing the price of strictly
fresh eggs to thirty-five cents
dozen. By Easter a decrease of from
eight to ten cents a dozen is expected
bringing the price to twenty-five TO
twenty-eight cents dozen. Todays
price was forty cents a dozen.
The egg market has held firm Tor
two weeks because of increased con-
sumption during the Lenten season
and the light receipts due to I'M
favorable weather. Weather condi-
tions made the spring crop later this
year than usual.
BY April egg receipts should reach
100000 dozen q week or 100000
dozen a day. This would be an ex-
cess over the consumption, which is
at Its height by April, and is then
4, 10000 dozen week.
This excess goes into the refrigera-
tors as storage, packed for next win
ters use. Dealers estimate these eggs
will be purchased by the storage men
for fifteen or eighteen cents dozen.
In that event the Easter price, they
calculate, will be twenty-five to twen-
ty-eight cents q dozen, retail.
Chinese eggs are becoming factor,
as 5000 cases of thirty dozen each
landed last Saturday in Montreal via
Vancouver. All Chinese eggs coming
to America come through one man
He is E. Block, of San Francisco. He
has offered to furnish eggs to San
Francisco firms during November, De-
cember and January at seventeen
cents, delivered and guaranteed.
This will tend to eliminate any ex-
tensive market for eggs from the Mid
die West.
The best Chinese eggs can be laid
down at San Francisco now at an
actual cost of fourteen cents a dozen
C. J. Medzikhovsky, a representa-
ti'-a of the Russian agricultural de-
partment, has closed hearings here to
earn what the American trade de-
mands in the way of carriers for but
ter and eggs. He sailed yesterday to
report to his government. He said
that already one factory has been
erected near st. Petersburg to turn
out just such carriers as the trade
here demands. 1t is expected that
European eggs will reach this coun-
try this spring to the extent of at
least 200, 900 cases.
