Eggs Drop Again
Another drop Of ~ cents on the

ing. from 30 to 3li2 cents. Con-
sumers' leaders are convinced that the
retail price will drop from the SO and
80 cents now charged by gfocers TO
80 cents the first OF next week. Such
a drop will mark the accomplishment
of all that the egg boycotters set out
to gain. Thirty-ive cents was named
as the normal price for the cold stor-
age product at this season Of the year
and the one with which consumers
would be satisfied.
w. P. Capes. secretary of the State
Conference Of Mayors, reported during
the day that the boycott was being
Endorsed throughout the state. A sur
vey just concluded in hotels and res
taurants at Albany disclosed that the
demand for eggs had fallen off 80 per
cent and that the sales in retail
stores had fallen of % per cent.
Mr.. Hartigan said that the advlsa

yesterday Of political reprisals involv-

Governors appointees at the coming

Friends Of Mr. Dillon pointed to the
Commissioner undisputed political
following in the rural districts, where
he is looked upon as the one powerful
friend OF the farmer-the man who led
the dairymen to decided victory over
the big distributors of milk. Moreover,
they insisted that this strength could
and would be used to prevent upstate
members Of the Legislature from sup
porting a market bill drawn in the IN

not permitted to have hand n the

Although George W. Perkins said yes

to attend the first session Of the mar

was learned that members of Mayor
Mitchel's food committee, which also
