AMERICAN EXPORT CORN ( MAIZE ) IN EUROPE. 



In this table it will be seen that the percentage of corn found 

 heating or hot on arrival increased with but few exceptions as the 

 moisture content increased. The exceptions being almost wholly- 

 due to most favorable shipping conditions, which materially reduced 

 the percentage of damage in the corn containing from 18.1 to 20.6 per 

 cent of moisture.

 of corn found heating or hot on arrival in Europe. 



a According to tests made of the cool corn in each cargo, except in cases where all the corn was heating 

 or hot. 



6 Except cargoes Nos. 33 and 34. 



c This corn contained 14 per cent of moisture and was only slightly heating and not discolored, a condition 

 known in Europe as "dry heat." 



COMPARISON OF THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE CORN AND THE NUMBER 

 OF CARGOES CONTAINING HEATING OR HOT CORN ON ARRIVAL. 



Table IX shows the number of cargoes examined and found to 

 contain heating or hot corn on arrival arranged according to different 

 percentages of moisture and the percentage of the cargoes found to 

 contain heating or hot corn.
