Chinese Eggs in France

Paris, June 5.

The arrival of a cargo of Chinese eggs in France yesterday was mad the occasion of a formal welcome at Dunkirk to the cold-storage vessel Formosa, from Shanghai, transporting them.

The Mayor, the President of the Chamber of Commerce, the Controller of Shipping and the President of the Commerce Tribunal visited the Formosa, whose cargo of 550 tons represented 20,000,000 eggs. Much satisfaction and some surprise were expressed at the excellent state of the eggs, 400 tons of which were unloaded at Havre and the balance sent on to London.—Reuter.
