There was an absence of any unfavorable develop ments in the general situation, apart from the usual reports that had been damaged, while business progress and increasing rail- road earnings were among the good factors of the week. The week. however, remained dull and heavy, except where manipulation at work, and conservative interests were disposed to insist that the advance in prices has. in the of most stocks, fully discounted the favorable developments In sight and that a reactionary tendency of mild kind is likely to temporarily hold possession of the market.

To Boom the Golden Corn.

Twenty states Were Represented
in Chicago last week. the first gather
ing of its KIND in the history of this
country. \ permanent organization
was effected. the object of which is to
teach foreigners the value of corn as a
food product and thus enlarge the
market abroad. II is also believed that
the home market may be improved; in
many sections of the United States
corn as an article of food is not in de
mand because its virtues are compare
lively unknown. In the South ana the
West corn is largely used ana corn
table as the wheaton loaf. hut in the
North and the East its use is comuarl-
lively limited.
Ii is proposed, therefore, to begin an
educational campaign and spread
broadcast information concerning the
worth of corn as a food product.
Elaborate displays will be made at the
Omaha Exposition ana also at the Pan
American Exposition at Niagara Fans
next year and an attempt will he made
to teach Europeans to appreciate
maize products by erecting a corn

The protest by the commander of the

to be said in response. however that in
instituting this patrol, the nation and
the city are not bent upon protecting
the Spanish cruiser alone They seek
also to protect this country from the
