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.

<• 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.
