MAR. ICE T
BASKET
By Hymam H. Cobaa
Consumers are In many Instances able
to purchase egg today at a price that
on tb eerface appears less than actual
wholesale figures. The best eggs are
selling at wholesale at 42c a dosen and
till many retailers are selling; at 40s a
doten.
There Is a very rood reason for this
alleged topsy-turvey appearance of the
trade. Retailers are not actually selling
eggs below the wholesale price and are
making- a legitimate profit even though
the flg-ures looks as If they are paying;
42c for errs and selling; them at 40a
Fact of the matter la that this time of
the season always allows a like condi
tion. Storage Interests are responsible
for this. They take a case of eggs and
by candling tests, divide the supplies into
three lota The best of these ar used
for storage and the others are sold for
the fresh egg trade.
Then latter esras are What are com'
monly called "weak" stock by the trade.
They are perhaps as fresh as the No. 1
stock, but for some reason or other will
not hold up In storage.. For that reason
cold storage interests put nothing away

possible condition

N WOOL TRADE
ImproTed conditions are generally in
dicated in the market for wool The
traffic congestion along the Atlantic
coast, which gave the trade such an ex
tremely bearish tone for some weeks,
appears to te eliminating itself. Bids
for wool are fully steady, although some
efforts are being made to hold down
Paclflo Northwest fleece because of the
opening of the eeason.
With Boston interests offering and paytng
78s to 77o for Arisona fleece,- It cannot- be
uid that the price ef wool Is by any means
depressed. Naturally, at this time of tb season,
when tb Pacific Northwent I sheering and
new fleece will aeon be offered in abundance,
tfcr is a disposition among tb big interests
to held buying operations in check lust to
lafluenr values hem
Among the Western woelgroww there ap
pear to be a disposition this season to eon
sign their fleece to commission firm, such a

These fifures represent the increising confidence which a discritninatinf
Investing: public places in us each succeeding; yesr. They show tha amount of tha
funds deposited by us with our banks in the reziilir course of business. ,
DurinK the first three months of 1917 our business represented transactions In
the amount of 1324,332.13. and during the same period for 1920 it was f 17,236,
279.04. The comparison shows that during January, February and March of 1920,
we did over fifty-three times the volume that was done in the same period for 1917.
Although these figures do not represent actual sales, yet they are Indicative of
the unprecedented growth which we have enjoyed during this three-year period,
and show clearly what our contribution has been to the financial stability of city
rid state. Figuring it out from the standpoint of bank clearing adding the
deposits with the disbursements there would be a total of approximately 34,
000,000 In bank clearings for which we were responsible during these three months.
To our many friends and clients who have contributed to the establishment of
such in enviable record of growth and leadership we wish to extend our thanks
and appreciation, and express the hope that we may never fail to render a quality
of service equal to that which has given us this honor. J
