CORN PRODUCTS
MAKES RECORD
Stock Finishes Strong After
Settlement of Suit with
Government.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York, March 3l.-Professionals
felt today that the stock market
should have reaction and, therefore,
pretended to be alarmed at the politi-
cal situation In Europe. President
Wilson was reported in disagreement
with the other allies and the acquisi-
ton Of land in, Mexico by the Japan
csc Was looked upon as a disturbing
element. Private dispatches from
Paris said the conference was pro-
ceeding with unusual smoothness and
that definite announcement regarding
peace might be expected within forty
eight hours.
Specialties were bid up, notably
General Motors. American Can, Dis
tillers. Corn Products and l.. S. Rub
Der. Standard stocks as a rule did
not change materially, but in the ear
ly afternoon L, S. Steel became
strong and moved across 80 with a
heavy volume of trading
The local fractions had an excited
squirt based on the execution of a
large buying order for the account OF
a prominent politician. who let II be
known that he believed the legisla-
ture would pass the bill permitting an
increase of fares for the local trac-
tons IN New York City.
Conservative banking houses sug-
gested that profits be taken on all
hulges today because they believed
the market will be permitted TO sink
a few points in prepars ton for a gen.
'uine peace celebration as soon as
word iustifying 1t comes from Paris
The close was steady without any
very material net change.
Important Development.
One of the most important news
developments of the day was that the
corn products company had settled
its suit with the government by agree
ing to dispose of some OF its plants
in the West before January !. 1921.
The company has done such good
work for the country since the war
began that the Department OF Justice
was naturally willing to meet 1t half
way in making any arrangement The
stock made a new high record today
and remained strong throughout the
session.
This move on the part Of Corn Prod
ucts Company affected the American
Can Company favorably. because il,
too. has suit with the government,
and. like Corn Products, il has done
wonderful service for the country dur
ing the war.
BY the same token the United States
Steel stockholders expected forgive
ness from the government. for certain
ly United States Steel has earned for
giveness by its course since the war
began. So Wall street Is being deco
rated for a regular prodigal son home
coming when all the little bad boys
who were spanked by the government
cCme back from the war and march
in triumphal parade over the ticker
tape. Traders who buy the stocks
! now will have reserved seats.

HUGHES WOULD
CHANGE LEAGUE
Present Draft Lacks Com.
pleteness Says Former
Candidate.

Within few hours after Justice
Hughes delivered his address upon
the league Of nations the substance
OF II was in Paris. The understand
ing at the Union League Club where
the address was delivered Is that a
careful and very concise abstract of
the address which covered only the
constructive points was prepared and
then cabled. The interest in what
Judge Hughes might say has been
very great Some wondered whether
ne were not to make il evident that
he agreed with the main points in
the covenant while others were GER
tain that he would eritieise IL, but
upon the constructive side.
Perhaps one OF the influences which
stimulated curiosity and interest was
due to the fact that he is the only
man now living except former Presi-
dent Taft. who has had a great and
varied career in American public life.
and he was to speak 50 as to give a
better understanding Of the covenant,
wnat II means and what danger turks
IN it, IL any. He has been twice
governor of New York State. He
Court. and at last he became the
candidate of his party for the Presi-
dency having been defeated by such
narrow margin that a change OF
few hundred votes would have
placed him where President Wilson
now Is. From this point Of view he
was to speak as one having authority.
No one has suggested that Judge
Hughes nurses any further poll
tical ambition SO that there could
De no lurking personal motive in
what he said. Within a few hours
after there came the certainty that
Wilson had triumphed In the Presi-
Genital election of 1915 Judge
Hughes was preparing 10 return to
private life IN the expectation that
mis- professional. career would there
after absorb his entire energy, as 1t
has done. Then, TOGO, the fact that
he had caused il to be known that
IN due time he would take on
portunity TO say what his opinion is
upon the league Of nations PROPOSE
tion seemed to Indicate that he was
at first not sure of his views and
Tor that reason had not fOrmulated
any opinions.
Judge Hughes had for his hearers
80 many OF the members of the
Union League Club with their guests
that it was not possible to seat them
in the large hall so that many of
them were obliged to submit to tho
discomfort Of occupying iinconven-
lent places in one Of the small
halls Since Judge Hughes became
president of the Union League Club
he has made many addresses: a few
OF them have been formal. almost
all Of them informal Sometimes
they have disappointed his friends.
sometimes they have been spoken of
as really fine addresses. But none
of them was based upon so vital an
issue, as he himself called il, as is
concentrated in the league of na-
ttOns proposition.
