Corn Market StilI Soaring.

An enormous business was done in
corn, prices meanwhile again estab-

sands in every city in the land and
carefully garnered by the dump
heap scavengers, now takes its place
as an important factor in the price
of steel. Just where the connection
is may not be obvious to the aver
age user of canned stun, but steel
sheets mean more to the tin can in
dustry than does tin itself. for very
little tin enters into the composition
of can. In this the term tin can is
slightly deceitful, and the deceit is
more pronounced when 1t comes to
the so-called tin sheets used for
roofing, in which the steel sheet is
transformed into what is called a
terne plate by a coatinf of tin mixed
with lead and antimony.-New York

IN MOTHERS PRESENCE

Fredonia. The child got hold of a
tin can which had been used in pour
ing oil from a larger can to the
lamps and split some of it on the
front part OF her dress. The little
girl went before an open fireplace to
warm and the heat set her dress on
fire. Though her mother was pres
ent, she could do nothing to check
the flames before they had done
their deadly work.

linflux of selling orders, however, with
mo corresponding increase in demand,
carried the market at one time back
almost to the opening figures. At
this Level the wing began again and
continued in increasing volume to
the close. The firm prices were prac-
tically the highest of the day.
Individual operations were gener-
ally lost sight of in the immense
volume of business that was being
done by commission houses and trad
,ers OF every sort. The selling of
about 100000 bushels OF May by
/, Clement-Curtis on the first advance
was conspicuous because of their
heavy buying of the day before. This
lfirm resumed its buying on the re-
quilting slump. Shearson-H ammill alb

Itinues TO predict large receipts here
this week. but such predictions have
been so frequent that they had little
EFFECT Saturday. Country dealers were
, buying back some of the corn that
they had sold here for shipment this
month and were reported TO be re-
selling to Kansas City, where the
December shorts were making efforts
to fill contracts. The final prices
were at net gains for the day OF SC.
Oats Continued 20 Advance.
Oats were again higher and active
intermediate fluctuations during the
day were over the same general
course as in corn. An early advance
due to covering by shorts and buying
by new investors was met by free
lprofit-taking sales, which carried
values back below the opening price
There was a fresh wave OF buying at
the last. influenced chiefly by the
bulge in eorn. Individual operations

around commission trade on both
sides OF the market.
Cash oats opened higher in the
sample market. but closed unchanged
from the previous day. There was a
good shipping demand and sales were
10000 bushels. Local receipts OF
oats last week were over zoo, 900
bushels less than the shipments. This
