CARRYING QUALITIES OF EXPORT CORN. 19 
time of discharge is illustrated in figure 10. The corn in hold 1 did 
not entirely fill the hold, and the top of the corn was covered with a 
heavy growth of sprouted corn, as is shown in figure 12. 
‘The comparison of the average condition of each lot of corn, as 
loaded and as discharged, is given in Table6. As shown in this table, 
the natural ‘“‘Southwestern”’ corn in hold 3, which had an average 
moisture content of 14.7 per cent and an average acidity of 25.8 ¢. c. 
when it was loaded, arrived in practically the same condition as when 
loaded, although the natural “‘Central” corn stowed both immediately 
above and below it was hot and damaged and badly packed, as is 
illustrated in figure 5. The natural “‘Southwestern” corn “run” 
freely during the discharge, thus leaving overhanging walls of natural 
“Central” corn, these overhanging walls at times projecting as much 
as 2 feet or more. 
TaBLE 6.—Comparison of the average condition of the natural ‘ Central,’’ natural 
“ Southwestern,’’ dried ‘‘ A,”’ and dried “‘ B’’ corn as loaded, with the average condition 
of each lot as discharged in Denmark.

Figure 6 and Table 6 show that the dried ‘‘A’’ corn in hold 4, 
which had an average of 14.9 per cent of moisture and an average 
acidity of 22.5 ¢. ¢. when it was put on board, also arrived in Den- 
mark in practically as sound a condition as when it was loaded, 
notwithstanding that both the ‘ Central” corn, which was stowed 
immediately above it, and the dried “B” corn, just beneath it, was 
hot and badly damaged. Figure 6 and Table 6 also show that the 
dried “B” corn in hold 4, which had an average moisture content 
of 16.3 per cent and an average acidity of 27.5 c. c. at the time of
