 Wednesday,, Dec 30--The usually dull egg market which annually becomes evident after the year. end holidays was showing It's ef- fects on local trading to some ex- tent thIs week.. Best eggs were being held by most sellers at un- changed prices where sold through regular channels. Surplus stock, and eggs without best qualities In every respect, were being moved with difficulty a number of reports indicated.
 The cause of this annual un- settling of the egg market Is eVi- dently due to lack of buying inter- est for n short period while buyers are purchasing holiday table spec iallties which results In more or less accumulation of stocks on re- tailers shelves. The rate of supply remains unchanged according to most reports but demand slows temporarily.
 The live poultry market continu- ed weak and prices low Tor most classes of stock. Broilers and Tat fowl were reported in slightly bet | ter demand than week ago, but were still low priced compared With | earlier in the month. Extremely low prices prevailing for some western dressed meats probably contributed to low poultry prices. Unless otherwise stated quota tions are based on sales of good merchantablc products to retailers by wholesalers or nearby pro- ducers).

One Great Banking System Is Proposed
 By Bill In Congress

Canadian member on the Federal Reserve board, Senator kean, Republican, N. J., disclosed to-day in n statement to the United Press.
 The bill was offered almost un- noticed and was referred to the foreign relations committee before the senate took It's Christmas re- cess. It's bare provisions suggested only the Canadian membership on the board and negotiation of a treaty with Canada to stabilize the depreciated Canadian dollar. It's greater qualifications were made known in a telegram Kean sent to the United Press in response to n request for an explanation.
 "For moro than 5000 miles our border touches Canada" the Tele- gram stated. "All along the border our citizens and their citizens have been accustomed to receive a Canadian dollar as the equivalent of m American dollar.
 Suddenly exchange has affected the Canadian dollar so that 1t is selling for 80 cents as compared with the American dollar. our merchants have large dealings with individuals and merchants Tn Canada.
 Canadian merchants have large dealings with merchants In the United States.
 "When n merchant in either country sells bill of goods to n merchant in the other country, If 1t Is payable in American dollars, what ls the Canadian going to have to pay in his dollars for American dollars?
 "If 1t is payable in Canadian dollars, what is the merchant In the United States going to receive for his goods. and is the rise and the fall in exchange going to make

 The bandits said they also had arranged that If they were jailed in Blackford County their escape would be arranged within Q few hours.
