amount OF interest money to carry
stocks when the outlook does not
promise immediate profits On the
whole, the market has shown a consid-
erable degree Of positive strength. for
there has been an entire absence of pres

professional churning process has grad
uaily worked the prices of the standard
securities little higher instead of low

Outlook For Corn.

From many of the best farm
ers in Lee county we learn that
the out look for a good corn crop
vas never so poor as it is at pres
eat. The record for the county
for supplying all the corn needed
for home consumption, and to
spare, has been far above the
average county in the south.
For many years there has been
a surplus of corn, with occasion
ally a year with a short CROP
to supply demands from the
southern part Of the state for
early shipments, which bring
the best prices of the season.
From present indications there
will be no surplus. The acreage
in old corn is very small and a
great deal of the early planting
has never grown off, but has
that yellow cast that indicates
a poor yield. The best corn in
the county is the June planting
which will require favorable sea-
sons to make a good crop. Should
the June corn fail the country
will fall far short Of raising en-
ough for home consumption.
Many of our farmers are hedging
against such a contingency and
are planting heavily of sorghum
and peas for hay, which will en-
able them to carry their stock
through the winter but little grain
