Big Scramble of Storage Eggs,
if the Weather Stays Mild

today, with the blue blooded white
fancies" quoted at 72 cents a dozen.
But several commission men said they
believe the price for fresh eggs will
go little if any higher and that the
first sharp break in the storage egg
market will bring fresh egg prices
tumbling down.
George E. Cutler, Greenwich street
wholesale egg dealer. admitted today
that the egg men had expected to sell
large supplies of cold storage eggs to
British agents. But heavy war muni-
tion shipments and a scarcity OF mer-
chant vessels boosted shipping rates
out of sight and made It Improbable
to send bulky cargoes Of eggs to Eng
land.
Instead of sharing In the profits of
the ammunition makers, the egg men
today find themselves with about $685.
600 more cases of cold storage eggs
on their hands at this time than they
had last year and no great demand
for them.

There will be no powers of course, to
enter into formal negotiations, but un
questionably they will possess infor
nation concerning the general out
line of possible peace terms.
None of the belligerent govern
ments can afford to neglect the oppor
tunity which the consistory offers Of
participating in an Informal discus
sion of reasons which are compelling
the war to continue.
Certainly there will be large differ
ences in the sentiments of the car
dinals. The only hope that their com
parisons of views may be beneficial
lies in the fact that they are all met
of national patriotism and will sin
cerely represent the interests of then
fellow countrymen. If, by persistent

cents lower than on the same day last
year The market is wobbling badly.
A few weeks more of mild weather
may send millions of dozens of cold
storage eggs tumbling on to the mar
ket and send retail prices down with
crash.
1t is possible, wholesale men said.
that cold storage eggs may be selling
at retail at less than twenty cents a
dozen. The price in New York now
ranges from 90 to 36 cents.
Strictly fresh eggs today are four
cents higher wholesale than they were
on the same day last year. Secretary
Henry of the Mercantile Exchange
attributed this to a slackening of re-
ceipts. The figures of the exchange
show that only ST,053 cases of fresh
eggs were received in the first two
weeks of November this year, while
the receipts for the same period In
1914, were 99,4S1.
Strictly fresh eggs were selling at
about sixty cents retail in New York

NEW HIGH MARK vISC0UNT is OUT
Jap Minister of Justice Resigns
Under Fire.
Charges of Bribery Extend to
High Places.


Toxic, July e29.-Viscount Kanetka
Oura, the japanese minister of justice,
suddenly resigned his portfolio today.
The minister's action, following as it
does the investigation instituted by the
minister of justice into bribery
charges growing out of the parlia-
mentary elections last March, has
caused sensation throughout Japan.
The case involves several mem bers
and eX-members of the imperial diet.
Count Shigenbu Okuma, the premier,
reported the situation to Emperor
Yoshihito, who sanctioned the resigna-
ton of Viscount Oura.
The investigation in the charges of
bribery growing out of the March
elections resulted in the arrest yester-
day of K. Hayashida, who has been
chief secretary of the lower house for
twenty years. The arrest Of Haya-
shida is said to be connected with the
charge against Viscount Oura, who is
alleged to have received present of
$500 from a candidate for member
ship in the house.
