American eggs now shipped

for fiscal year 1923 will
exceed year proceeding war
by about Fl, 900, 900 dozen.

The cackle of the American hen
reverberates throughout the entire
world and with constantly increas-
ing intensity. The total number
of eggs sent out of continental
United States in the fiscal year
which ends with June, 1928, will ap-
proximate half billion with a value
of approximately $l2,000,000. and
will show larger total than in any
preceding year with the possible
exception of one of the war years,
when demands from Europe were
exceptionally heavy and especially
for the class of foods convenient
for use in camps and on the bat
tlehelds. The present high record
of exports, however, is in response
to normal calls from all parts of
the world.
Figures compiled for the Trade
Record of The National City Bank
OF New York indicate that the
growth in the expectation of this
factor of Our food supply has been
exceptionally rapid in recent years.

total exports of eggs were ~

1o23 will be approximately 39,00O,-

Gov. Smith Raps
VOlstead Law
Says Bryan Narrow

Albany. \. y, June 10-'Ia
regulating the personal conduct of
the individual have only been sue
cessful when they have paralleled a
divine commandment and the "in-
hercnt dishonesty of the Nolstead act
tends to promotes dishonesty in its
enforcement" Governor Smith said
tonight in a statement answering
five questions on prohibition asked
by the New York Times and answer
ed by William Jennings Bryan in the
edition of today, in which he criti-
clzed the governors attitude on the
liquor and states rights questions.
Mr.. Bryan's narrow reasoning on
this particular subject puts him in
the position of misunderstanding en-
tirely the great point at ISSUE" Gov
ernor Smith asserted, adding that
there is great mass of citizens be-
tween the "fanatical vets" and 1.-THE
fanatlcal drys" who arc tired of
both and who see a possible and
constructive solution of this question
on a common sense basis"
1.-THE New York Times has re-
quested me to answer William Jen-
nings Rryans article in it's edition
Of Sunday. June 10, wherein Mr..
Bryan undertook to reply to five
questions submitted to him by that
newspaper" said Governor Smith.
THE first question he is asked is
Will prohibition be a leading issue
in the next Democratic convention?'
Running true to form, he uses a
thousand words in replying and says
nothing.
mo living person could answer
the second question. What strength
will the vets and drys be able to
command? Mr.. Bryan attempts it
and says less than he did about the
first question.
'Mr. Bryan could answer the third
question. DO you believe prohibition
will continue to be an issue in ma
tional politics. by saying that it
never has been an issue and the ques-
ton of repeating the eighteenth
amendment probably never will be;
but it is quite possible that a sane
and sensible definition of what con-
stitutes an intoXicatinfi beverage
might be prominent issue.
"The fourth question. What effect
has Governor Smiths action on the
Cuvillier bill had on the national sit
uation"" Mr.. Bryan answers by
making a reference to King Alcohol
and to woman suffrage.
when he answers the fifth ques-
ton. What of his (meaning N.Y. as
sertion of states rights in connection
with his action?' the great common
or rises to the heights of absurdity.
According to Mr.. Bryan there is APP
parently no such thing as states
rights II that is not a fair inference
to take from his remarks one must
take the only other possible, and
that is, that Mr.. Bryan himself does
not understand what states rights
mean. Mr.. Bryan has had
more opportunities to study the fed
eral government and its operation
than have had and he knows every-
thing I say is right. but he belongs
to the class of fanatical drys about
whom I spoke in my recent memoir
andum, who will never admit any,
thing. When fanatic begins to ac-
knowledge the truth, his cause is lost.
If Mr.. Bryan's reasoning is to be
followed to its logical conclusion.

MONEY MARKETS
STEADY; CONTINUED
INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY

New York, June 1o.-CBy A. Pr
In week during which the weather
and the season exercised a restrict
ing effect, the chief financial markets
displayed q steady undertOne. Cot
ton prices rallied sharply, wheat held
it's own and stocks ruled rather con-
sistently higher.
For one thing, the financial mind
was impressed with a number of
evidences that industrial activity is
being continued at remarkably high
rate. Pig iron production during
May. for example averaged $4,000
tons day in comparison with 49,
300 tons in April. which was incident
ally, the previous high record for all
time. The steel trade appears con-
fident. furthermore, that the present
rate of operations will be continued
for some time to come and that the
present level of steel prices will be
supported by a revival of forward
buying.
Another bullish factor during the
past week was the excellent char
acter of the reports on railroad load
ings and earnings. The number of
cars loaded with revenue freight in
the week ended, May &c, was 1,O14,-
600. This performance has been ex-
ceeded in only two weeks in history,
and both of these weeks came in the
fall when traffic was swollen by the
seasonal grain movement. On the
earnings side, the American Rail-
way Association announced that net
income of the class railroads during
April amounted to $S3,200,O00 which
is equivalent to a yearly rate of 6 IL
per cent on valuation. In financial
circles it was considered significant
that this figure was attained at a
time when operating expenses have
been materially increased by liberia!
