Eggs VIII Be
$3.50 o. Dozen

Prospects of the price of eggs doin g
a high jump to $3.50 dozen this win
ter, are exceedingly bright at the
present time. This will be sad news
to many people who are fond of eggs,
but it is true. nevertheless.
At present native eggs are rang
ing around 81 a dozen, and this price
is bound to increase with the advent
of colder weather Numerous reasons
are given for the high price of eggs
today. Hens are moulting between
the last week of August and the first
of October, and are. therefore. not
laying. Western eggs which were
placed in storage in April and May are
now being released to bolance the
market.
High prices paid direct to farmers
by motorists is another reason that is
given for the increase Some auto
mobilists will pay as high Nos 81 for a
dozen fresh native" eggs, and when
the farmer can secure such a price
as this he naturally does not like to
sell to merchants at price much
lower.
As much as the average persos dis
likes to eat cold storage eggs. it ap-
pears that he may have to do SO this
winter unless he is willing to pay big
prices for the native variety.

ON AMERICA
Drastic Cut in Shipping
Charges to Offset Growth
of u. S. Shipping.

Washington, Sept 14.-Drastic
cutting of rates by English. shipping
firms to offset the development of
the American Merchant Marine was
reported to the Shipping Board to-
day.
The opening of new Am merican
lines in competition with a. parallel
the sign for drastic rate cutting by
the British ship owners, according to
the report which is in the hands Of
Admiral Benson, chairman of the
Shipping Board.
Officials of the Shipping Board, let
it be known that they will call into
operation all the provisions of the
Jones Merchant Marine Act in ord er
to insure fair competition for ships
of American registry. Admiral Ben
son has indicated that he does not
care to use the provisions ofathe Jones
Act providing for a preferential rate
for goods in American bottoms hut
officials stated that this clause would
be used if it were found necessary to
meet the methods of competition of
foreign ship owners.
Reports made to Admiral Benson
by Charles F. Deutsch, who has re-
Gently returned from European
trip as Admiralty counsel for the
Shipping Board indicates that there
is strong resentment among European
ship owners over the efforts now be-
ing made to increase the maritime
terms of the Jones Act, which both
Senator Jones and Admiral Benson
declare are merely to insure fair
competition, are resented keenly in
Great Britain and the Scandinavian
countries Deutsch reported.

COAL
HERE THAN
YEAR AGO
Inventory of Local Situa-
ton Will Be Reported to
Chamber Tomorrow.


At the meeting of the Transporta-
ton Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce to be held tomorrow after
noon at 4 o'clock the anthracite and
bftuminouS coal supply will again be
discussed. The local dealers have
been asked to attend this meeting and
state their views on the situation.
The committee of the Chamber of
Commerce which has been making an
investigation at the request of the
State Chamber of Commerce brought
in their report this morning. Secre-
tary Seward Price stated to The Times
that their report shows that local deal
ers in antracite have on hand at pres
ent a. supply of coal 10 to 30 per cent.
under the amount on hand this time
last year, the receipts and deliveries
showing about the same relationship.
This condition, the local dealers de-
clare, was only made possible through
their buying in the open market in
stead of confining their orders to the

NO IMMEDIATE
DROP In SUGAR
PRICES HERE

Wholesale cuts in sugar prices re-
ported throughout the country will
not have any immediate effect on
prices here, inasmuch as the rock
bottom prices have already been es-
tablished in Bridgeport for the past
week.
Refineries ore quoted as selling su-
gar from 1 5 to IT cents a pound, with
the average at Is cents. Local deal
ers both wholesale and retail main
tanned today, that these prices have
been in effect in Bridgeport for about
a week, and therefore no change can
be expected Immediately. Most of the
retail stores are charging IT cents a
pound for sugar at the present time
Hawaiian shipments of sugar are
reported as being extremely heavy,
and this may have some effect on the
market. A drop in the price of sugar
would be most welcome to housewives
who are now in the midst of the can
ming season.
