EASTERN EGGS HURT.

Condition to Some Extent.
The local egg altuation 1. note feel
ing so frisky because of tha arrival
of the eastern stock. While receivers
of the latter cannot afford to aell them
under current quotatlona for local
freah. It is atated that aoma .alea are
being made at that figure although
it la a violation of the pure food laws
and la puniahable by a heavy fine.
Receipts of local egga during the
week totaled 1.089 cases and wero
quite liberal conalderlng the season.
The truth of tha matter 1. that It
look, as If tha big run of the year la

operators are looking forward to low

,Durlng tha week tha poultry market

Today being shipping day for the

It Is becoming more evident that unless
tne eastern markets ahoulrl be In such
position as to require an unusually large
quantity or rruit rrom this state, prices
win ruie very low for neaxlv -all , s,ea
sonable varieties. In any event, how
ever. San Francisco will get her full

TRAFFIC IN MEXICO.
ia
How Products of the Interior Are
Brought to the Coast.
From the Mexican Herald.
It would be a difficult matter to es
timate the number of people who are
directly dependent upon the mercantile
supplies of this port, but It is certain
that the number can be written with
six figures. More than 5,000 of thesa
boats are In commission on the Tamest
and Panuco rivers, tbey vary In length
from 20 to 60 feet and carry the wild
and cultivated products of the interior
to Tamplco. where they discharge their
cargoes and reload with merchandise
and other supplies.
With two great , waterways, the
Tamest and the Panuco, the native nav
igators find It requires aeout SO days
to make a round trip to distant points
on the river. Every conceivable form
of tropical plant and fruit may be found
in tneir cargoes, aa wen as native made
earthenware and other manufactured
articles, a long poia la the only com
pass required by lha captain of one of
these barques, but he wields the bam
boo which pilots him safely , over the
shoal filled waters of a tropical wa
terway. Many of the plantations along
tha rivera keep several of these boats
in commission all tha time, carrying
their smaller product, to tha market
and bringing back supplies for the
haclepda.
In the early hours of the morning

Value of Tears.
Prom the London Dally Mall.
' Dr. Homme,- the well-known French
medical Authority, speaks eloquently of
the usefulness of tears in tha current
Issue of La. Revue. .
. Tears, ha writes, are' most useful In
cases of great depression, or deep sor
row. Crying creates a kind of cerebral
torpor, a - mental indifference which
acta as an anaesthetic. ' One drsjwns
sorrow ln tears better, even' than n
alcohol . - i
- "We should never restrain our tears.
They form, especially with children, a
safety valve, which 4ns nothing else
than preserve the balance of Jhe brain

New York, June 6. Reassurances

Missouri Pacific was noted for Its
weakness, dropping- 3 ootnts. Heavl
nesS in this stock was 'Attributed . to
the fact that directors controlled the

There. was an attempt' to . manlpu

Bank clearings fore the week de
creased .01 per cent from last month.
For the month of May bank ' clearings
were $10,868,707,179, against $12,406,
704,887 last y-ear, or'a decrease of 12.5
per cent. For the first three weeks
In May railroad tross earnings reDort
ed to date, show a decrease of 21.6

garded as unfavorable;
Government suits, also, will probably

The foreign markets were weak.
Th Ut dinplayed today a good tone
iiirouenout tne session, ana aavancea
considerably over last might's close.
avoraoie crop outlooK has caused a
better feeling to prevail in commercial
circles, and the only restraining In
fluence seems to be the probable agi
tation witnessed around the convention
period.
The Week's business on the stock ex
change has again given the impression
or a nigniy manipulated market whose
drift and purpose are extremely hard
to understand. Tho nrinclcal buvina and
selling has come, directly or Indirectly
from a half dozen of the larger broker
age firms and the orders have apparent
ly originated in two or three affiliated
sources. These few Individuals control
tho Immediate movement .and forecast
of the day to day fluctuations is simply
guesswork as to what these operators
have In their minds to do next, r
In the early part of the week the ad
vance was resumed at a rapid Dace and
the prevailing Idea was that the up
swing which halted a fortnight ago had
been resumed. But the new campaign
for the rise ended as abruptly as It had
begun and in the latter half of the week
prices lott much of their gain. These
violent shlftlngs, however, are only a
matter of concern to the class who make
their living on the scalps.

Beet Acreage
Not So Large
Nampa, Ida., June 6. Mark Austin,
general manager of the Utah-Idaho Su
gar company, and other officials of that
company, have been In Nampa the past
week to look over the sugar beet situa
tion for the Nampa factory and to
meet with the Nampa Chamber of Com
merce relative to the progress of .beet
culture, acreage, etc., in thla section.
When the Nampa factory was first
built It appears that the chamber of
commerce undertook to guarantee to
the sugar company that 6,000 acres Of
beets would be cultivated, but up to this
time no such acreage has been 'planted.
The factory people are Insistent that
the chamber make (rood on the acreaae
for the factory here, because the plant
In as yet does not Justify the factory.
It has been said that the factory people
have srone so far as to threaten the re
moval of the plant to Payette should,
a better support not be forthcoming
here.
Some contentions on the part of the
farmers indicate dissatisfaction, in that
they claim it has not been profitable
to raise sugar beets at $4.60 per ton.
for which reason a large number who
began the culture the first year have
gone at other farming, -and the number
of acres this year is not so crest as
either of the precedlnsr years. They
assign a number of reasons for the
change to other crops.
It has been well demonstrated, how
ever, by farmers with small acreage in
beet cultivation, where they had pre
pared the around thoroughly, that the
land had been made to net them from
$50 to $75 per acre, the excellent show
ing being- due entirely to the careful
cultivation and the thorough preparation
of the ground. These showings, are suf
ficient to Indicate, that it Is not a fail
ure of the industry when handled In a
logical manner. But It does Indicate
the necessity of small acreage properly
cultivated, and points to the ultimate
aim that Is being worked at by promo
ters of this section that Is. small tract
farming. The ba'mber of -commerce
will put men In the field to 'encourage
small tract beet culture, and It has
been said that . number- of farmers
who will agree to raise from one to ten
acres should easily be available to fur
nish the necessary 6.000 acres to retain
tne lactory at isampa.
JUSH WABMINGr UP.
Man for Whom Nice Warm Corner in
Hades Had No Terror.
From the New York Hun.
A man who has lived In the Dutch
West Indies for years came back to
New York last fall. , After two decades
of slszllng In the tropics, life In the
north promised to develop into one long,
grand chill. Only recently, when the
spring sun has begun to get really
busy, has ha shown any symptoms of
iiiRwins out.
"It Isn't that I'm exactly warm now
ne explained the other riav- "it's tin
that I begin to hope that I will be soma
time. I feel a good dealllke the darky
wno migrated rrom a right hot spot
down In Florida and settled in Boston.
"The old fellow hadn't dwelt long in
tnat atmospnere or cold reason and east
winds before a mortal chill assailed him,
body and spirit. Winter came on. The
northeast gales and the lecture season
were at their bitterest and the darkv
got colder and colder and stiff er and
tlffer.
"First he couldn't walk. Then he
couldn't talk. Then he couldn't eat.
Flnnllv he lav atark and cold and dea.l
'The family prepared to dispose of his
remains. When he first reached Boston,
before he-fros up so that he couldn't
get out, ne nad passed a crematory one
day and had been enchanted with it. It
appealed very warmlv Indeed to him,
and he had requested his relatives to sea
that, his remains were eramated when
he should come to die.
"80 they carried his body off to the
crematory and handed it over to the
persons In charge. They were toll
that it would take about two hours to
reduce the body to ashes, and were in
vited to remain or to return at the eni
of that period to witness the opening of
the furnace, s
"At the end of the two hours, there
fore, in the presence of the assembled
friends, the door of the furnace was
opened, whereupon a hoarse voice from
within called out Irritably: - -
" -Shut dat door! I feel a draf on my,
feet!' " - -
Did yoti ever hear ef anybody who
sent flowers when the funeral of a baseball-umpire
was being heldT - "
