COMMERCIAL STATISTICS. OT 
Imported eggs are sold in all large cities in 
the East and North, mainly to packers and 
manufacturers. 
New York City takes about one fifteenth of 
the entire crop. For the year ending October 
31, 1887, New York received 59,095,330 dozen, 
and imported also fifty thousand dozen. 
In January, 1889, 57,653 barrels, each con- 
taining sixty-five to seventy dozen eggs, were re- 
ceived in New York, against 37,103 barrels dur- 
ing the same month in 1888. The increase was 
largely due to the mild winter. 
Chicago, in 1888, received 624,721 cases, 
each case containing thirty dozen, and shipped 
460,060 cases. 
Philadelphia, in 1887, had 501,245 cases, or 
15,037,350 dozen. 
The San Francisco report is incomplete, but 
shows about four million dozen.

merce give the annual receipts of eggs in that
