CORN QUALITY
RATES HIGH
BEST IN TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
INSPECTOR THINKS.

Sioux City, March 1.-The corn
crop this year wfa be of the highest
grade in Is years, it was said by
grain dealers. Nothing less than No.
1 and No. will te seen later in the
season, according to Paul Larson.
chief inspector and weigh-master for
the Board of Trade. In June and
July all of it will grade not less than
No. 2, he declared.
"We never have had as good and
sound corn," said Mr.. Larson. "The
moisture now is in excess, being be-
tween 1Sk and 201s per cent. After
April and May the grade will be
raised on fresh, shelled corn. Spring
winds will dry out the moisture in the
corn cribs"
Little corn is being bought in the
Grain Exchange building. The high
price demanded by farmers and the
scarcity of cars are given as the rea-
son. Yesterday farmers wanted $3.50
a bushel, S cents more than the Oma-
ha market, it was said in the office of
the Atlas Elevator company. The
price was 5 cents more than the ele-
vator men could get for the corn.
Buying is done cautiously, it is
said, one carload at a time being
bought and sold to markets close by,
since the high moisture content will
not stand the long haul.
Good dry corn should test around
IA and 15 per cent moisture. 1t is
now between 4 and per cent in ex-
cess.
Dealers look for improvement. in
the car situation after March /. The
return of the roads to private own
ership is welcomed throughout the
grain business, it Is said. At this
time Of the year the number of avail
able cars is somewhat diminished by
the emigration of tenant farmers,
whose goods require traffic facili.ies.
Renters are moving from the south to
the north, where cheaper lands are
available. it is said. Grain men re-
port that many Iowa farmers are
moving to Minnesota and North Da-
kota and that some are going as far
north as Canada. The March /
changes in leases is partly RESPONSE
bic for the shortage of cars, accord
ing to George Strom of the Taylor
BourniQue grain office.

BUSINESS. STILL
IS CONSERVATIVE
MERCHANDISE CONTINUES TO BE
SCARCE ON THE MARKET.

New York, March 1.-Bradstreet's
review of trade for the past week
says:
"A rather more pronounced tend
ency to conservatism with a some
what quieter tone characterizes the
general business situation. There ap-
pears to be a disposition on the part
of buyers to go more slowly in MAX
ing purchases and to look into condi-
ions with greater care. Thus we find
indications that to a growing degree.
buyers confine themselves to meeting
immediate requirements while limit
ing their commitments for the future
to portion of their anticipated
needs. Some of the trade reports tell
of transactions being in excess of
those for the same time last year
while showing a falling off from re-
cent weeks.
''The complaint of scarcity of mer-
chandise continues to be Widespread.
Manufacturing continues active. con-
Germs in most sections being reported
as working to capacity, but produc-
tion still lags behind demand in spite
of the stimulus of high prices. A
feature of the general situation is
the marked activity in building
though the potentialities of this
movement are limited by the search
ty and high prices of materials, and
by enhanced labor costs.

| said. more than 100, gathered at
Odd Fellows hall Sunday evening
where they celebrated the recognition
of Jews as n nation by the allies and
the coming establishment Of the
Jewish nation in Palestine. Probably
the most interesting detail Of tho
celebration, and Of special Importance
to tho Jews, was the unfurling and
introduction Of the Jewish national
flag.
Following the example set by Am
erican revolutionary mothers, Jewish
women of the city had made the flag,
a blue and white banner. bearing on
1t the emblem of the Jews. the six
pointed star, known by them as the
shield Of David. Thanked on one side
by the stars and strips and on the
other by the English flag, tho Jewish
banner was carried into the ASSEM- :
bly, room and given . place Of honor
between the two flags OF the English
speaking allies. The flag bearers
we're Mrs. Morris Gervich, Mrs. Anna
Gervich and Mrs. W. Cofi. Their ap-
pearancs with the flags was the sig
nal for loud applause.
This celebration was u local ex-
preston Of the realization OF the
dream Of Jews for centuries. who
soon are to come into a home land
