FROZEN EGGS FROM ORIENT

Sixty Thousand Dozen of Them Reach Quaker City—Carried Half Way Around World. Philadelphia.—Sixty thousand dozen frozen oriental eggs Which had been carried half way around the world in the refrigerating plants of different steamship lines, were landed from the American liner Marion the other day and placed in cold storage plants here to await sale. The duty on them is five cents a dozen. Notwithstanding the many miles which the eggs have been carried, the temperature maintained about them has never been higher than 14 degrees Fahrenheit. They were stowed away in 44-pound tin cans, and arrived in good condition. The shipment was hurried from the Merlon’s side in wagons driven rapidly, and the eggs were stowed away in cold storage warehouses after undergoing only a slight change in temperature.
