CORN is, INDEED, KING
Pleasing Thoughts Suggested ny the
Governments Report on Corn
Crop of This Year.

The Federal Department of Agricul-
ture estimates the corn crop Of 1917
10 he 3.l9l,oS3.00o bushels. $4,000. 900
bushels more than was ever grown be-
fore In this country in any ono year.
The report leads the Toledo Blade to
moralize as follows:
Last week. No. ,. yellow. corn was
selling I'm Chicago around s2.o0. De-
cembcr futures closed at Sl.iS. May flu
lures cents less. This IS far cry
from those days when the Nebraska
farmers burned their corn In tho cook
stoves. prices being so low that Il
did not nay to haul corn to the mar
ket Yet the CROP was much smaller
then. We have increased production
enormously. but demand has increased
mt far heavier rate.
IT the 1917 crop was valued at only
81 hushcl. it would still be worth
I'VE times the amount OF gold that IL
in circulation. II would. indeed. have
value nearly equal TO the total cir
culation of all forms OF money. con.
per. silver. gold and paper. The pro.
huction OF the American gold mines
would have TO he multiplied by So to
pay for this one crop. The 1917 yield
Is worth one-sixth the value of all the
factories and mills in the country 1t
i worth onc-hfth the investment in
tho railroads. If the crop could be an.
piled TO paying railroad operating ex-
renses. there would still be 81 0oQ, 900. :

HOLIDAY VARIES AS TO LENGTH
Richmond Market Closes Strong.
Common Grades Predominate in
Offerings. but High Average Is
Maintained.

All of the Virginia and North Caro-

their usual Christmas vacation, be-
ginning after the close OF business the
past week. Some of them will indulge
in a rather lengthy holiday. not got
ting back to auction sales until Janu-
airy I or s, but majority OF them will
resume business on the End or ard.
The high prices which have prevailed
all OF the season were maintained until
the last pile WAS knocked out 70. the
great tobacco year OF 1917. and some of
The markccs report even stiffor figures
Tor the weed than at any previous time
this season.
The weather conditions in the sun
curing territory were not favorable for
the handling of the leaf, and in conse-
qucncc the receipts on the Richmond
market laBt week were rather light
amounting for tho half week to but
about $4,000 to 100000 pounds. The
common to medium grades predomin-
atGd in the offerings, very few wrap
pers or other fine goods showing up
But for this fact the average OF prices
bid would havo shown a decided in
crease, for common 10 medium grades
were very strong. perhaps little
higher than the previous week, but the
absence OF wrappers and the finer goods
held the average down to about S2t
per hundred.
The warehouses closed down for the
holidays last Wednesday night, and Will
remain closed until Friday morning,

The warehousemen. who have sent
out scouts to the rural regions, have
reason to believe that II weather con-
ditions remain favorable the reopen
