THE aggregate volume of the cOuntry's
business continues sufficiently large to al
low of favorable comparisons with past
periods alike in this and in preceding
years. Aside from a quoting demand at
a few leading Eastern markets, on ac-
count Of uncertainty as to the outcome of
foreign complications, the situation is one
possessing nearly all of the favorable
features noted for some time The best
reports come from the central West and
the Northwest. Favorable weather has
improved distribution of dry goods, cloth
ing, millinery, building, materials, agri-
cultural implements and nearly all other
products forming staple articles OF con-
sumption among the prosperous farming
community. The movement of iron and
steel is especially large, but without eff
feet on prices, which are generally very
firmly held. Some slight advances in pig
iron, in fact. have been a feature of the
week at some markets.

AS / have suggested in this column, it
is very probable that there has been no
agreement between the Tobacco Trust
and any of its competitors. There had
been much buying of the stock of the trust
recently by well organized pool, but
apparently this buying has been dseon-
tinued. The public probably had gotten
into the stock TO an extent sufficiently
alluring to the pool, and there was
"killing.' '' '"

OAKLAND, Cal, March 1.-The death
of Henry Odenkerchen, who was for
many years. almost a recluse in the
lonely hills of Altamont, has revealed

munition and arms in which he was
heavily Interested Before he came to

resting place. A short time before his
death the husband refused to accept
$40. 900 for the plot.

THE CORN BOOMERS.
Meetings of Committees to
Perfect the Organization.
PLANS TO ENLIST CORN GROWERS,
A Great Corn Exposition to he Held at the
Omaha Exposition and Corn shows
In All the Principal
cities.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2.--Meetings
OF the subcommittee err ,organiza-
ton, legislation and -6N&ece Of the
American Maize propa@y} IDA, a ma
tional organization togFomote the
larger use of Indian corn ii the United
States and foreign countries were
held In this city yesterday to perfect
the organization and mature plans for
further action. Among those present
were Col. Clark f. Carr, president; b.
w. Snow, secretary, both of Illinois;
Andrew Langdon, of Buffalo; Herbert
Myrick, editor of the American Agri-
culturist, of New York, and w. w.
Gibbs of Pennsylvania.
Plans were formulated by which IL
is expected to secure the cooperation
of every farmer in the country, espe-
cially in the great corn belt, who pro-
duces corn, and OF the manufacturers,
who, by all known processes, prepare
corn and cornstalks for consumption
and commercial uses. Enforcement al
ready received from press and people
encourages the committee to believe
that the consumption OF corn will be
greatly augmented and add large
percentage to the value of the crop.
After the meeting President Carr said
We have reason to believe that as a result OF
the plans which have been perfected, and which
we will proceed at once to carry out the mem
bership OF this organization will soon include o
very large proportion OF the corn growing
farmers OF the west, together with the manu-
facturers OF all kinds OF corn products, in suol
a manner as to be potential In creating public
sentiment and influencing such proper and
wide legislation as may be required to advance
the interests OF corn.
One OF the things which we shall ask will be
adequate presentation OF corn and Its products
before the people OF the world at the Paris ex-
position. This Is in addition to special pur-
pose we have in view In conducting propa-
ganda at home to educate our own people as tC

| In addition to this, moreover, we are nov
