PARIS SHOW IS OPENED.

After municipal landlordism. what?
We have commented lately On the
promise of the Salisbury government
70 appoint parliamentary committee
for the investigation of the question of
the housing of the poor. especially the
poor of London and other great cities.
Under existing law British municipali-
ties have the power TO tear down In
sanitary and unsafe tenements and
build new ones. They can become
landlords on a large scale. but they
must acquire land for building pur-
poses within their respective jurisdic-
tions. They have asked for authority
TO purchase land and build outside OF
the city limits, and 1t will no doubt be
granted

FARMERS IN A BIG TRUST,
International Combine to Hold Up
Prices.


All other trusts and combines pale
into mere trifles when compared with
the trust it is proposed to form among
the farmers of the world at the agri-
cultural conference to be held in Paris
July 9-16. The farmer has heretofore
been held up as the especial sufferer
from trusts. but the latter-day farmer
reads the papers and by observation
finds that a trust may be formed that
will benefit him. Consequently the
wheat-growing farmer calculates that
a trust in his business would enhance
prices. In order to make the new
combine a success ii is necessary to
get a majority of the wheat growers
into it, and this is to be the object of
the conference. 1t is hoped TO arrange
to restrict the production. reduce the
output by perhaps 20 per cent, and
then when the actual number of BUSH
els on hand is closely estimated. to
hold the grain until the price reaches a
figure determined upon. Dollar wheat
is the slogan of the farmer. If the
present plans go through it will be i'm
possible TO buy any wheat under that
figure in the course Of two or three
years. j. c. Hanley of st. Paul, MIMI,

GR00MCORN IN FROM EUROPE,
First Importation Shows Quality Poorer
Than Native Product.


Than Native Product.
Not until this year has there ever
been any broomcorn imported from
Europe for the use of the American
broom factories. A Chicago firm has
received a cargo of 500 tons of corn,
which was bought in Hungary. because
the price in this country is SO high.
The "broomcorn trust" has II, 200 tons
in hand. but will not sell it for less
than 5000 ton. Smaller dealers not
in the trust have been selling the same
quality of corn for $3.50 to $3.50, and
this stock is almost exhausted. The
Hungarian corn was shipped from
Triest. The ocean freight is about the
same as the freight from New York
to Chicago. This brush cost less than
$120 a ton laid down in Chicago. 1t
is what is known in the broomcorn
trade as pale red self-working. and
does not compare we'll with the corn
grown in the central Illinois district
or in Kansas. The Hungarians raise
broomcorn for the seed. which they
feed to chickens and cattle.
