If the arsenal grounds are to be sold at
the value placed upon them by a board of
appraisers very naturally the promoters
of the technical school will have the first
chance to take them. If they are not in a
position to purchase the property will go to
those who are. That is the grounds will
not be retained by the government until
it shall be decided whether or not the
friends of the technical school can raise
the money. If it is in sight there need be

Another attempt is being made to corner
corn This time it is September corn that
has been advanced much beyond its real
value. If none were harmed but those who
bet the price Of corn it would be mat

gambling affects the price to all consum-
ers Of corn as well as the few who hold the
remnant Of the short crop of 1901. If the
