IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
LACKING IN STOCK MARKET
Chief Influences of Week Are Railroad
Decision and Easier Rates
for Money.
tBy Associated pr.ss.1


tBy Associated PressJ
NEW YORK. July 1.-The week IN
the stock market was void OF impor-
tant developments aside fror, the
restoration of easier money conditions
and the Interstate Commerce Commits
sions decision denying in the main tho
plea Of tho railroads for horizontal
rate increase.
1t is too soon TO judge tho effect of
this decision. but interests Identified
with the largest transportation lines
profess to find some ENCOURAGEMENT in
tho few concessions granted.
Financial statements submitted dur
Ing the week from railroad, industrial
and commercial interests were of un-
usual promise, and the decline in call
and time loans was the automatic re-
suit OF redeposits made by the Treas
airy for the Liberty loan. Tho coming
fortnight Will witness very heavy dis
bursements for mid-year interest and
dividend payments. and this outflow
may have tendency again to harden
money.
Stocks in general were irregular the
greater part Of the time. mainly be-
cause OF the hcaviness Of motors and
utilities. Movements OF those issues
are governed to a considerable extent
by technical conditions and are not
accepted as a fair criterion OF the mar
ket position OF more stable stocks
Tho bond market gave no signs OF
an awakening investment interest
usual at this period of the year In
vestors are continuing their attitude of
aloofness pending adjustment Of gov
eminent price fixing and war taxation

Eggs preserved in water glass can be
used for soft boiling or poachinE, up
TO November. Before boiling such eggs
prick tiny hole in the large end
of the she'll with needle to keen them
from cracking. They are satisfactory
FOR frying until about December
From that time until the end of the
usual storage pcriod-that it is until
March--thcy can be used for omcletts,
scrambled eggs, custards. cakes and
general cookery. AS the eggs age
the white becomes thinner and is
harder TO beat. The yolk membrane
becomes more delicate and it is cor
reSpondingly difficult to separate the
white from the yolks. Sometimes the
white OF the egg is tinged pink after
very long keeping in water glass. This
is due' probably. TO a little iron which
is in the sodium silicate but which
apparently does not injure the egg for
food purposes
Limewater is also satisfactory for
preserving eggs and is slightly less ex-
pensive than water glass. A solution
is made ny placing two or three pounds
OF unslaked lime in five gallons Of
water. which has been boiled and al
lowed TO cool. and allowing the mix
ture to stand until the lime settles
and the liquid is clear. The eggs should
