British Dealers Prefer the Canadian Variety. For the first time in a number of years eggs have taken a prominent place in Canada's èxport trade. This is largly due to the unprecedented demand demand for eggs on the part of the Bri- . tish market and the fact that British dealers have shown a marked preference preference for Canadian eggs over United states eggs and willingness to pay a distinctly higher price for them. So great in fact has been the demand demand that Canadian dealers have shipped practically all of the available available Canadian storage product to the Old Country. As a result there is not in Canada at the present time, sufficient sufficient eggs in storage to supply home consumption until fresh receipts in appreciable appreciable quantities begin to*gome in. Quantities of eggs from the United States, however, are being imported into Canada, some in bond for export, but the larger part to take the place of the Canadian product exported. On account of the keen demand for Canadian Canadian eggs above mentioned, United States eggs can be laid down in Canada Canada at the present time, duty paid, at several cents per dozen less than the price at which Canadian.eggs are selling selling for for export and they should be procurable by the consumers accordingly. accordingly. On the other hand the Canadian market at the present time is very firm for Canadian "Specials" (new laid) the production of which is not enough in most instances to supply the demand at local country markets. This means that high prices will have to be paid in consuming centres in order to draw a portion of . these supplies supplies from local points. Producers may therefore definitely expect reas- ably high prices during the period of low production for fresh gathered eggs that will grade "Specials." The question has been raised as to whether the phenominal demand on the part of the British market for Canadian eggs will continue. This depends entirely upon the quality of Canadian eggs exported. Canada has tremendous possibilities as an egg producing country. The poultry industry industry is at present but a mere fraction fraction of what it might be." It remains, therefore, for those most interested in the development of this trade to make the best possible use of their present ■ opportunities, and by careful supervision supervision of the quality of Canadian eggs going forward to pave the way for an extensive and profitable export trade in the future. The old French adage ^'noblesse oblige" oblige" has never been more true than now, as has been clearly demonstrated demonstrated by the part played by the aristocracy aristocracy of Great Britain in the present war. No recruiting officers, no bands, no parades have been needed to bring the sons of the finest families of Britain Britain to the colors. They have rallied, fought, and fallen in so great numbers numbers that there is practically not a noble house in all the United Kingdom Kingdom to-day which is not mourning. Sole heirs, eldest sons, youngest sons, fàthers, and brothers of the greatest and most famous English families went to the front at the very offset and are now in the trenches in France and at the Dardanelles or on the high seas. There: can be no doubt that the peer of England is paying toll, not less willingly, but even far more than the men of the working classes. An illuminating illustration of this fact was given 1 recently when the members of the much abused House of Lords'refused to pass a motion authorizing authorizing the return from the front of those of its members who had gone to the firing line. Already five peerages are without heirs in remainder through the war, namely, the marquesate of Lincolnshire Lincolnshire and the baronies " of Knares- borough, Playfair, Ribblesdale, and Stamfordham. Six peers have already, been killed, namely, Lords Congleton, Ha war den, Brabourne, Ànnesley, De Freyne, and Petre. Nearly thirty heirs to peerages have been killed and almost as many wounded. Fifty sons of peers have been killed killed and the number wounded is in the hundreds. Brothers of peers, baronets, and knights who have either been killed or wounded number a great total. How heavily the titled families have contributed themselves to this conflict may best be imagined when it is stated that 213 peers and 424 sons of peers are already serving with the colors.
