of Price of Corn,

Indianapolis, Ind, May 9.-Orders
-haNe been received at the twelve to
fifteen factories of the Nationalsotarch
company, including the factory in this

has not kept pace with the price of
corn and there is no profit in buying
corn at present to make into starch
at the ruling prices. 1t is understood
that the glucose manufacturers will
also close their plants. No date is
set for the shutdown, but it is believ-
ed that it will be about June 1.
