PRICE OF STRICTLY FRESH EGGS"
DEPENDS UPON WHERE YOU BUY THEM

storage plants were quoted at 81 to
35 cents a doben. This dealer was
undertaking every other man in the
place and the business man wanted
to know the secret
Sure I sell my very best eggs at
80 cents a dozen" said the retailer
How can you do that when the
wholesalers won't sell them for less
than 40 cents?"
why. / just got some eggs over
in Commerce street little while ago
at 80 cents a Dozen he answered
Last week paid 331s cents, whole
sale, and today / only paid 81. So
when | charge 80 cents I'm making
enough profit. ain't II"
, The business man agreed that was
certainly the truth, and then wanted
to know how this unique egg dealer
sold his storage variety. Thirty-one
| to IS cents a dozen is thep rice he
demands. The inspector pointed out
| that other dealers in the market are
selling their best storage eggs at 30 to
40 cents a dozen.
"Well, they're handing it to you
good and proper" volunteered the
dealer Anyone can get plenty OF
the eggs that I am selling, and gel
them for the same price, too, right
down here In Commerce street"
"And you sell your best, very best
Jersey eggs for thirty mine cents a
| dozen, while the other dealers ask 4f
to So cents for them?"
Don't make me laugh" retorted
| the dealer, they don't know that the
eggs they're selling are from Jersey
any more than I do or the men In
| Commerce street who sell them tC

The price of a dozen eggs labeled
guaranteed strictly fresh Jersey
eggs" all depends on whom the con-
trip made by a business man today
can be taken as a criterion.
A wholesale dealer in Mulberry
street, where the commission mer-
chants hold sway, was first visited.
I'VE are selling the best eggs today
at forty cents a dozen, wholesale, -
said the dealer, land that means that
you ought to get them from the re-
taller at forty-f1ve to forty-six
cents a dozen. Today eggs are scarce
but from now until the spring they
ought to become more plentiful and
cheaper in price; that is, unless the
demand becomes larger. Today we
get thirty-f1ve cents a dozen for oul
best storage eggs. and these should
sell to you at the stores for forty
cents"
What sort of an egg is the best
storage egg; how long has it beer
in storage?" asked the business man
1--WE can't tell you how old the egs
is, but the best storage egg is another
name for 'candled egg These eggs
are held before a candle light and il
they stand the test are fit for any
table"
Several retailers were then visited
A reputable egg man in Centre Mar
ket announced that his strictly fresl
eggs" are selling at 40 and so cent
dozen. The best storage eggs brint
him from 80 to 40 cents dozen.
Along the line little further wa.
noticed a sign guaranteed strict,
fresh eggs" at 80 cents a dozen. TIL

The report was sent to Congress to-

Senate resolutions do not call for

"Speyer & Co. should have been

commissions report reviews ex-
haustively the history of the pur-
chase of the Chicago and Eastern
illinois by the st. Louis and San
Francisco Company; the subsequent
feceivership and the history of the
purchase of the st. Louis, Browns
willie and Mexico by the st. Louis and
San Francisco.
The insolvency of the Frisco, the
report says, may be attributed TO
various causes, among them: dis
proportionate capitalization; the ac-
huisition of new lines; the financing

Texas and Mexico railroad and other

STRIKE
At PEACE EVENT
Irish-Americans and German
Americans Object to Anglo
Celebration by U. s.
IFrom a stan Correspondent

u sum GOTftbpDnuEHbI
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2s.-Congress-
man r. g. Bremner and other con-
gressmen are receiving protests from
Irish-American and German-Ameri-
can organizations of the big cities of
the country against the appropriation
of $4,000 to allow the United States
to take official part in the coming
speaking nations.
The petitioners who oppose the
peace plans assert that II they are
carried out as now, outlined it will
result In exciting the ill-feeling of
many nations which were uniformly
friendly to this country when Eng
land was bitterly hostile.
One of the leading organizations in
these protests is that known as the
Continental League of America. Its
membership is composed chiefly of
Irish and German-Americans. In
their protests to the representatives
they say:
1.-THE hundred years of peace have
not been years of friendship on the
part of England. Up to the settle
ment of the Venezuelan question,
dl Ic1 IISSlutAt NltNcldhu ntoLoAlO
message, England lost no opportunity
of showing her enmity to this country.
During the Civil War, her govern
ment, and the majority of her peo-
pie, and practically her whole press,
were most inimical to the North, not
from real sympathy for the South,
but in the hope of breaking up the
great republic which had grown up
from thirteen colonies which had
thrown off the tyrannical yoke. For
two years the British government
conspired with the Emperor Napoleon
to bring about the armed interven-
ton, and the fitting out, arming and
manning of swift cruisers which swept
American commerce from the seas.
This was the most shameful evasions
of international obligations in all
modern history. 1t was dictated by
commercial greed and the destruction
of American commerce, which it ac-
complished and its ill effects are
still visible.
1.-THE American people want peace
with England, and the whole world,
but 1t is notorious that England wants
the celebration as a demonstration OF
American friendship which will be
useful to her in international quar-
rels, and not for the promotion of
peace, but to benefit her in war, and
that is aimed at Germany.
"She hopes to make it prepare the
way for an Anglo-American alliance
which will involve infinite danger to
American interests and could by no
possibility promote them. All the adj
vantages would be on England's side.
and no other alliance between any of
the great powers would involve such
great danger to the peace of the
world or such injury to human lib
erty.
Representative Stuart, OF New
York, who is chairman of the centen-
! NAL committee, said it was not likely
that these protests would affect con-
gressional action.
