LOCAL EGG MARKET
CONTINUES LOWER
Dealers Returning Is and III
Cents a Dozen for Cur
rent Receipts.

Local commission merchants yesterday
were displaying a deep interest in the
condition of the egg market. Prices
have continued at a much lower leve1
than had been anticipated, according
to the merchants, and no definite ing
formation as to what may be expected
the coming week could be given.
Dealers the past few days have been
returning Is and II cents a dozen for
current receipts, while hennery stock
was only or cents higher. In some
instances, it is stated, retailers let
their supplies 60 as low as 20 and %
cents dozen. selected hennery stock
selling a few cents higher.
Sto1ing Of eggs for next Winters
trade was begun in the West some time
ago, but local dealers believe the re.
the storing for the reason that eggs
that are chilled will not stand up wen
in storage.
There has been very little storing
done by local dealers, it is stated, and
the storing probably will not be az
heavy as usual, dealers recalling req
ported losses from such storing laS4
season.
According to a report of the Bureau
Of Agricultural Economics, Department
of Agriculture, storage holding in 10
principal cities yesterday morning
totaled 2,384,s74, holdings the cora
responding day Of last year being
2, 499, 428.
No complaints have been received By
wholesalers as to the failure of supplies
to come up to the standard, practically
all receipts thus far this season having
been fresh. It is deemed probable that
some supplies may be held back fo4
better prices and that some future rel
ceiptS may not be in the best condition
when they reach the local markets.

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Whatever investment program is
adopted there are two requirements Tor
which there are no substitutes aoe-
quate Investigation and competent
supervision of securities after they are
acquired.
Diyersification should extend to the
type of securities purchaSed-that is to
say, bonds, stocks and mortgages. 1t
should extend to the kind of industry
represented. The old distinction was
between railroad and industrial invest
ments The latter have more recently
been subdivided into industrials proper
and utilities. Among the industrials
there is need for spreading out the risk
over as many fields OF enterprises as
possible.
Even though the investor is convinced
that the package food business, for in
stance, presents the most attractions at
this time, he should have only a pro-
portion of his funds tied up in that
line. Diversification should include
proper geographical distribution. II 1t
is decided to make utilities the leaders
on the list, the security buyer should
see to it that different sections of the
country are covered In some instances
it may be wise to diversity with respect
to the dates at which the income Is to
be received, but that is not always nee
eSsary.
The matter of supervision is not SO
easy to deal with. 1t is never safe to
buy stocks or bonds and put them
| away and forget them" There is not
so much danger If the selections are
| conServatiyely made in the first place,
and yet danger in some degree is al
ways there. Investment conditions are
subject to constant change and some
one must be responsible for anticipat-
ing those changes as far as possible
| If the investor is unable to do this for
| himself he must find some one to do it
for him. Trust companies sell such a
service and offer one solution of the
problem. Investment bankers also can
help. Somehow the supervision must be
