mand tor the article, by confectioners
alone, in the United States in immense.

been France and Germany, where glu-

the product OF corn, wholly. 1t is
pleasing to the taste as honey.
Samples have been sent to all the large
cities east and west, and demand for it

Boston day before Yesterday. 1t sells
for o,l 2 cents per pound, by the case OF

for Iowa corn. The capacity of the
works here is FIVE hundred bushel per
day This branch Of manufacture bids
fair to become of immense importance
to the State and country.
