An explanation of the score card follows:
 Maturity ard seed condition-Corn is worthless if it will not grow. Ears should be firm and free from mould, with a bright lustre. Germ should be plump.
 Uniformity-It is hard to determine what a type" of New England corn is. The ears should be similar in length, shape, size. color, indentation of kernels, etc.
 Kernels-Should be uniform and slightly wedge shaped. Shape deter mines to a great extent the amount of corn on the cob, lost space between rows, also chemical composition. Ker-
 nels should possess germs of good size. Edges of the kernels should be straight and fit closely together; they should be of uniform thickness. Rows
 should be straight.
 Weight of ear-Not as important as in Dent varieties, owing@to the ten dency of flint corn to produce more than one ear on a stalk. Length and proportion-Size of ears vary with locality, soil, etc Ears with large circumference mature slowly. The circumference of tn eear should be 1 sufficient to give some rigidity to the ear.
 Butts-Large yield to the acre de- bends on having the butts and tips well filled out. Kernels should be uni form in size and we'll arranged: there should be no extra rows at butt Large butts are undesirable, as are also too small butts
 Tfps-Should be we'll covered with l kernels of uniform size and in rows which are a continuation of those on | the ears. Poor tips may be caused by unfavorable season. Tips well filled l out show good breeding. Space between the rows-Much space between the rows reduces the propor-
 tion of shelled corn. The space be- tween the kernels both at tips and
 crowns should be very slight. Wide | spaces denote immaturity. Color-Kerncls should be uniform
 and of a bright lustre, showing good condition. White of black kernels in l yellow corn should be cut severely and
 vice versa The cobs should be of

The Market situation,

Wrenn Bros. estimate the market ait.
uation a. follows: THE process OF
strengthening the technical position of
the market Is continuing. Liquidation
has been noticeable during the pas,
panies. the equipment companies and
some OF the motor companies. The gem
eral public. under the influence OF con-
serva,ive advices and OF breaks In the
war stocks, has apparently turned seller
to moderate extent and the foreign
liquidation Is not yet complete. 1t
Is plain that the great majority Of in
vestors scattered throughout the interior
have not vet become heavy buyers OF
stocks. and that tho big Wall Street
holdings have, therefore. not been Dis
tributed.
THE heaviest public buying never does
occur until the prosperity Of the coun-
try becomes much more widely and
evenly distributed among all industr,c.
ana classes OF people than II has vet
been, Thus far our prosperity has been
largely confined TO industries directly
or almost directly benefited by the war,
Next spring or next autumn investment
absorption should he much heavier and
the prices OF standard issues higher.
further irregutarty IL to be expected
during the coming few weeks, since the
seasonal dulnees OF trade almost always
depresses the market before the middle
or January and the LIST OF March, We
see no sign OF real downward trend
however. and believe that standard
stocks should be bought on brcaks."

Fstsre ,Possi sibilities.

The current stagnation in speculation
may be due solely to the collapse in the
market for the war brides" The pub
lie found that stocks could 20 down and
the spell was broken. But tho market
events OF the past few weeks have shown
that sentiment toward the war stocks
can 90 just as far to the other extreme
and that there is danger in the one ex-
treme as in the other. The majority of
people who went short OF the war
brides did so when these stocks had
already had . big fall and some OF
them got badly punished. Moreover
the rise in Industrial Alcohol and Amer
lean Coal Products has shown that the
speculative possibilities OF the market
in the war industrials have by no means
been exhausted. Up to now various de-
velopments of this kind have rather con-
spicuously failed 70 induce the specula-
tive public to return 10 the Street
Nevertheless. there Is a surprising lot
of confidence in we'll informed quarters
that there will be higher prices not only
In the industrial list but in the stock
list as whole. Even IL liquidation In
the war brides" 10 not yet over, these
stocks have fallen to levels more closely
in accord with the line Of valuation
where sharp upward spurts arc likely.
As regards the loan situation. II Is
worth pointing out that most Of the
stocks are being put into stock loans now
at the same figures At which they were
put in when the market price was so per
cent. higher In some cases. In addition,
II Is felt that there IA basis for thrill pro-
ducing developments In other quarters
OF the list capable Of exciting the pub
lie imagination. The copper shares. ii Is
universally felt, have not begun to re-
fleet the extraordinary profits made.

The Public Appetite.

when all Is said and done the current
stagnation in the stock market is due to
one thing. and that Is decline in the
public appetite for stocks. The public
Is no longer buying stocks speculatively,
although, on the other hand. investment
absorption goes on at an increasing
rate. Every material consideration for
speculation Ia as strong or stronger than
when the public was tumbling over IT.

any price. The only thing that fails Ia
the state Of mind. The state OF mind
which permitted the wild orgy Of specu-
lation last fall exists no longer. There
IL not broker in the Street who Ia not
reminded of this q dozen times a day in
the course Of his business. One broker
explains the situation as follows:
Last October there was a constant
stream Of people coming into this office
wanting to buy any old stock at any old
price. We did our best to discourage
them and succeeded in persuading con-
siderable number to 60 back home with.
out doing anything, telling them that
things had reached a dangerous stage
and that IL they only waited they would
get their stocks much cheaper. In the
past few weeks I have communicated
with these people. advising them that
considered the time opportune to cx-
change money for stocks. Not a single
one bought. most of them declaring that
they thought things had changed"
