Special correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. May 10, 1913.
The Nottingham watch committee de-
cided that no police protection would be
afforded at any suffragette meeting held
in the city, and sent a communication
to all public halls intimating that to al
low them to be used for that purpose
was conducive to disorder and could not
be sanctioned.
The suffragettes engaged the Mechan-
les Hall for a meeting two weeks hence.
but permission to hold the meeting had
been withdrawn The local branch of
the Women's Social and Political Union
sent a bill TO the watch committee for
damage to the hall at a recent meeting,
which was raided by crowd and
wrecked The committee ignored the de-
mand.

The American grain trade has suffered
q severe blow in South Africa in the eN-
portation from New York of thousands OF
ions Of corn so moist that it spoiled on
the way 10 the port Of Durham, Natal,
according TO the official report OF
Nathaniel Z. Stewart. United States Con-
sui at Durham. Not only will II take
long time TO restore confidence among
the South African importers of American
Grain. SAYS Mr. Stewart, but reaction
probably will be felt I'm other lines OF
African trade with this country,
Since the beginning OF 1918 total Of
1850 tons OF corn has been received at
Durham. and Of this quantity, tho consul
reports all but so tons arrived In a
badly damaged condition. Tho importers
are complaining bitterly OF the quality OF
the grain and have lost heavily upon
their impOrtations The cause OF the
damage seems 10 have arisen from an
excess OF moisture in the corn before
shipment. which caused It to heat and
mould en- route. Much OF 1t was still very
hot upon arrival.
The government standard OF inspection
At Durham requires that corn for export
shall not contain more than 70 per cent
moisture This standard is thought
necessary TO prevent heating in crossing
tho tropics. Naturally. the same stand
ard IS necessary for imports. The I'm
porters at Durham believe the American
grain contained far more than e per cent
moisture.

w. NJ McCord, Of tho New York
Produce Exchange. who has charge OF all
grain shipments to South Africa. ad-
mttCd Yesterday that the corn com
planned Of by tho Durham and Port Eliza
both importers contained II per cent
moisture. He said that the corn had been

that fl would bear that amount Of
moisture without spelling in passing
through the tropics.
Since it was old corn. he said, the in
spectors thought II would not stand up
under shipment II sent in dryer condi-
ton. I'm his opinion. the only way TO
handle the matter in the future Will he
to run the risk Of excessive dryness in
the expectation Of old corn on the IL
por cent moisture basis or TO ship only
during tho months when new corn IS on
the market. Mr.. McCord also laid the
blame on tho Produce Exchange. and
said that it would be the exchanges busi-
ness 10 make future shipments salts
