CANADA REFUGE
Of j. 8. STEEL IF
GUILTY AS TRUST
Infinite Possibilities Found in
Perpetual Charter lust Given
Corporation.
LO0PHOLE FOR DISSOLUTION
Gary Sets Example for His
Brother Officers in
Stratagem.
LOOPHOLE FOR DISSOLUTION
BY RoERsIANER.

There are infinite possibilities in
the letters patent just granted the
United States Steel Corporation by
the Canadian Government.
The grant is apropos of a $4,000.
900 plant that the corporation means
to build up there. But the charter,
not the mill, is the thing The Ii
cense TO do almost any kind of bust
ness is perpetual.
Under it. also. Mr.. Gary and his
associates may control all sorts Of
roperties-including of course, the
Tennessee Company. Equally, of
course, the Steel Corporation may
recontract for the Great Northern
Ore Company-an amount of raw
material which it was difficult to be-
lieve Gary would relinquish.
The charter may be rendered sig
nificantly adaptable in other ways.
Should the Government win the
pending suit against the corporation
should the United States Supreme
Court order a dissolutiOn-the COM
pany might eXtinguish itself in the
United States and operate under the
foreign rights just accorded.
It is an idea that should comfort
the corporations security holders,
especially the owners of the common
and preferred stocks, who might be
simply asked to exchange the GER
tificates of the old corporation for
stocks in the Canadian COnCern-if
the worst befall in the court, or, in
deed, in Congress; for the Canadian
tariff differs from the schedule Of
imposts proposed by the bill under
the Senates consideration.
Manifestly Mr.. Gary and his coad-
tutors have INDUCED in thought for
over a year. Their cogitation has
ultimated in the Canadian PROPOSE
tion-which may be made protective
alike to the management and to the
security holders.
Obviously, too, Gary Is setting an
example to his brother corporation
managers who may say in defense
that the lawmakers of the United
States are driving industrial compa-
MES out of the country.
Whatever is done with the Cana
dian charter, it is certain that the
Steel Corporation has in reservation
a legal stratagem evasive, ingenious
and no doubt perfectly effective.

New Canadian Charter
Rouses Much Talk.

DETROIT July 19.-The charter OF
the Canadian branch Of the United

which have been received here. grants
that company an absolute monopoly
of the Canadian steel business if the
new concern desires to establish
itself in control.
One section expressly grants the
right to absorb any and all other
companies engaging wholly or in part
in the steel business. It may buy
timber lands and engage in the man
ufacture of wooden products.
It may construct roads, build
bridges and water transportation lines,
with depots, docks and all other ia
cilities for operation. 1t may own
and operate electric and gas plants
and telephone systems. 1t may build
and own cars and, in fact do every
thing except build railroads

Improvement in Cotton Prospects
Caused by Fine Growing
Weather Brings Optimism.
By NJ A. ROSE.

Two weeks of hot weather. varied
by good showers have done marvels
for the cotton crop Of the Southeast.
according TO the views Of competent
observers, who have made trips
through the farming sections.
Cotton in South Georgia is waist
high, they say, and a little more of
this ideal weather-ideal from the
cotton planters standpoint-will do
much to overcome the late start the
crop suffered. II August. now, will
be as kindly as July, and If the frost
is not too early, an excellent crop
will be assured. To make conditions
perfect, little rain in Central South
east Georgia might be added, for the
abundant showers elsewhere skipped
that section. according to the Wealth
er Bureaus report last week
The feeling all around is more
cheerful Country bankers and mer-
chants report to their Atlanta CORE
spondents that the crops look better
particularly the corn. which promises
a more abundant yield than Georgia
ever has known.

MEMPHIS. July I9.-Another week
Of progress for the cotton crop is
history and the tendency is to en-
large yield expectations. There is
still, however, plenty Of time for
something to happen and fear that it
might is contributing largely to the
disposition to make haste slowly in
yielding to the temptation to try TO
discount a big crop.
The trade seems TO realize that
ever since the first Of the year there
has been a feeling in the cotton world
that the crop of the season 1894
was going to be a large one. and so
far nothing has happened to serious
y interfere with this promise, yet in
the face Of many adverse conditions
and circumstances. the price has held
steady. and only for a brief spell have
futures been below II cents.
This fact tends TO increase conf
denCe in the stability of the affair
and discourages willingness on the
part Of bearishly inclined people to
commit themselves too heavily on that
side until there is assurance that the
crop will be sufficient for the worlds
needs for the ensuing year and allow
for some enlargement Of the reserves
In the hands Of spinners.
As yet notes OF conn paint from the

Crossing Corn Strains Increases Yield

Think of from 80 to $50 per cent
increase in yield as a result of cross

much worth while for farmers to take
notice? If even less than 80 per cent
gain were made as a result, what m
enormous gain to the farmer, and
that too, without more work, more
fertilizer or greater acreage planted!
Since the year 1876 Professor w. J.
Beal, of the Michigan Agricultural
College, has been demonstrating the
fact that the first generation of hy-
birds has increased yields of corn.
More recently other demonstrators
have shown. beyond peradventure
that from 80 to $50 per cent can De

farmer TO apply. This he can do with
very little trouble. When the farm
