PRICES DECLINE ON
 MORRIS AVENUE Eggs Plentiful and Drop One Cent-Meat Prices

Eggs, both country and graded, are off i cent on Morris avenue today. The decline came toward closing time yes- terday and prices are expected to go lower within the next few days as the supply is large. Eggs have not been so plentiful for the past few weeks, due to changes in weather conditions, but the supply is being increased daily.
 Several switches in prices were noted in meats yesterday Dry salt meats is off A cent; breakfast bacon, spare ribs and hams are up 1 cent, while pure lard made A-cent advance. While prices on meats of all kinds have sale dealers say meat is not high com pared with the price live hogs are bringing.

For Aerial Preparedness

from The Progress of the World, in
 the American Review of Reviews
 The development of the American aero plane industry, and the impetus given to the art Of flying, will serve well as d foundation in building up our own aerial defenses. An excellent start toward this object has been made by the inauguration of ntional aeroplane fund, under the direction of the Aero Club of America
 This fund, begun last August, ilas all ready reached a total of more than $25O, 600. It promises to exceed the popular funds of this kind raised a few years ago in France (S1.220,000) and in Germany ($1 ,S03, 626). The money is to be used in purchasing aeroplanes for the militia of the various states and for training av;a- tors. Organization and training have al- ready begun in number of states. En- l thusiasm for aerial preparedness is rapid ly spreading. A fund of s100,000 has re- gently been underwritten In chicago to be used for the purpose of training aVia- tors. Automobile manufacturers are also ready to cooperate with the army and navy, not only in giving men opportuni- ties for studying motors, but in bids for aerial service on eight mail routes. Seven Of these routes are in Alaska, where transportation is difficult, the remaining one being largely an oVer-Water route between New Bedford and Nantucket. This aerial service is to be much cheaper and more frequent than the present meth ods. But the end in view, apart from these considerations, is the stimulation of aviation actipity and the training of avia- tors, in the interest of national prepared ness Another excellent preparedness plan, in which Rear Admiral Peary is especially active is the movement for the establishment of an aerial coast patrol, with stations located at intervals of 100 miles,

 on Turkish peace talk, sold off again on Wall street liquidation, then rallied again on rumors of big French victory. The market was largely professional, but had a firm undertone. The spots were generally unchanged in i price from yesterday with the exception | of Savannah, which was off 1sc. The
 market lacks public participation, new crop months are a little too high to be attractive and the public won't touch July, which I consider the best purchase of any month, until it has advanced 100 points.
 If some of these farmers increase their acreage this year, I advise them to sell some of this October cotton at 12c, for it is sure shot they won't see 12c when
 October gets here if they do increase it. The week -end figures were too late for this letter, but were expected to be trifle beariSh.
 Still recommend purchases of July on all moderate recessions.
