African elephants appear to be liable to a 
fault from which a still nobler animal is not ex¬ 
empt. There is a fruit of which they are pas¬ 
sionately fond, which makes them tipsy, and 
after eating It they stagger about screaming so 
as to be heard miles off, and not seldom having 
tremendous flights. 
EGGS.—It begins to look like a lost summer for tbe 
egg trade. Light receipts Used to give sellers a very 
Independent position, lint If It were not for the lim¬ 
ited supplies, it la hard to say what would becoiun of 
this quotations. Weak rates are reported from iinv 
to day, and nil holders ure free sellers, bate re¬ 
ceipts nre In poor Condition, und the advice from 
one of our exchanges Is timely It Is thought 
that the heating of packages this season Is caused 
by tbu unusually wot season nt the West, which has 
caused the straw lisp'd In packing to be damp. 
Hackers should look to this and use only straw 
which is entire) v dry.” We quote, loss off, N. .1. and
