EGG SHORTAGE ON
 MORRIS AVENUE.
Business Continues Brisk With No Change in Yes
 terday's Quotations

With continuation of the spring like weather of the past few days, Nor ris avenue soon will present the ap- pearance of spring. Rabbits already are practically out of existence so far as the wholesale district is concerned and snap beans have been promised some of the local dealers. Small shipments, ill fact, already have been received, but the quantity is so small that they are not quoted.
 In the fish market there is slight shortage, but shipments are expected to offset it before the end of the week. Prices remain stationary in all lines.
 Eggs are hard to find, the supply on hand being hardly sufficient to care for the demand. Shipments are arriv- ing in small lots and dealers have been unable to secure more than one days supply for more than a week.

 1 Avery's Letter | The cotton market IOudy ndQ6 the l best response to a strong Liverpool than for sometime. The chief influences contributing to the advance was the re- ported settlement of the Lusitania mat | ter and a report that the British gov ernment was sending a representative | to adjudicate the blockade matter. Liverpool straddlers were buyers in our market at the widest difference yet seen, this helped things along also. l Mxy ic Ia market has "a 1 bottom for sometime to come and any | developments in the future will be fla vorable to the price rather than other wise. The export situation also looked l better.
 l Should the market work up to where the hedging basis would be attractive l to those carrying the burden of the ! big stocks l would expect to see some pressure from this source again. How ever, by the time that happens there
 may be new developments in the pre- paration for the new crop of bullish l character.
 l Eleventh hour bears made a great 1 ado over the talk of increased insur- ance rates and prophesied the advance would not hold. Certain it is we are
 not going to see any upward trend of
 any spectacular character, but on the
 i other hand neither will there be any
 new lows seen for long time to come l On moderate setbacks purchases oi
 Julys should show modest profts al
 present and big ones later on.

 APPROVAL OF SWIFT
Experiments With Alabama Oil Highly Successful,
 Says Letter to Jones

Montgomery, February S.-(Special)- That there is a good future for Alabama peanut oil is the encouraging report made to Emmet A. Jones, chief of the immi- grafton and markets bureau, by Swift S Company. the big Chicago meat packers and manufacturers
 MT Jones today received letter from the big western concern announcing that the experiments made with Alabama pea nut oil had been highly satisfactory and successful By the same mail the com rany sent Mr. Jones a sample of re- fined oil which had been made from the Alabama product
 The letter was in regard to the first carload of oil which the company had purchased from the new peanut oil mill at Brundidge Pike county
 We put this oil through our refining and deodorizing processes and found that it responded readily to them, and very fine quality of oil resulted, better tran we have been able to get in our recent purchases of imported refined peanut oil,' wrote Swift & Company.
 The Chicago packing house informed Mir Jones that some of the oil would be used for making oleomargarine, a sample of which would be sent the Ala bama department.

GAS CHARGES HIGHER
DESPITE RATE CUT?

The gas controversy which it was
thought was settled with the Peoples
Power company, cutting the rate from
S1.10 10 50 cents for 1000 cubic feet.
seems due to be revived, according to
statement made by Mayor Neon
ochte today. The statement follows:
I have received number of com
plants from people who have gas in
their homes TO the effect that since the
cut in the rate was made they receive
far less gas for their money than be-
fore their meters were adjusted for the
new price. Some of those who have
entered complaints have the quarter
meters and others have monthly met
ers and the increase is felt by both.
Many have also complained OF the
quality of gas, claiming that it is of
an inferior quality to that given be-
fore the reduction in the rate was
made.
If l find it necessary an expert will
be engaged to go from house to house
and test the meters to see to it they are
SO adjusted that they will give the
full amount of gas in accordance with
the cheaper rate which went into effect
recently. I will also have the expert
test the quality of the product in an
effort TO discover whether or not it
comes up to the required standard"

revolters succeeded in getting the
slogan Beat Wilson," passed. 1t has
been a rule of the convention for the
past eight years never TO go on record
for any political faction or party. Pres

tongue lashings. and the last named
was denounced in no small terms. l..
r. Rittmiller was of the opinion that
the convention would make no mistake

LEAKING PIPE BRINGS
WARNING FROM MURRAY

Warning No. 1" Is the way Harry
Murray, manager of the water depart
ment, charactcrizes a serviee-pipe
leak discovered in King street in
front Of Levers & Cookies yesterday.
The pavement had to be ripped up
to repair it" ne said this morning.
New pipes should have been in
stalled when the pavement was laid"
He points ont that the same per-
Torrance will be repeated many times
if permanent pavements are laid in
advance of the installation of new wa
ter mains where the old ones are
worn. 1T is the best argument for a
bond issue for water and sewer i'm
provements," he says.
