ATTENDANCE AT STATE
FAIR LARGER THAN IN 1913

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 21.-Out at the
State Fair this morning the work of
Judging the exhibitions in the many
and varied departments of the great
fair began and is being pushed as
rapidly as possible, with blue ribbons
and other evidences of awards COM
ing more and more in evidence. In
numbers of the departments, especial
1y agriculture, horticulture and in do
nestle science, including canning and
cooking generally, the exhibits are by
odds superior to those of any previous
State fair.
The crowds today were quite large
for the second day, exceeding consid-
erably the attendance of Wednesday
of last years fair. It is notable that
the cash receipts of the fair Tuesday
were just 81 more than for the same
day of the fair last year. The weather
conditions are developing nicely and
could scarcely be improved on in any
respect.

MAXWELL ASKS FOB CHANGE.
Railroads VIII Soon Finish Their Case
Before the Commission.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 22.-Coun-
sci for the eastern railroads which
are seeking a 5 e cen advance in
freight rates indicated today their
case before the Interstate Commerce
morrow with the testimony of one
more witness. The attorneys repre-
senting shippers have not announced
their plans, but it is believed they
will have few witnesses and that ar
guments soon will be presented.
". c.. Maxwell, general traffic man
ager of the Wabash system, appearing
today in the interest of the Central
Freight Association, presented masses
of figures to show the roads are in
urgent need of greater He
estimated that increased revenues &C
cruing to the Wabash system through
the advance allowed by the commits
sion's recent decision would amount
to only $500 600 annually which he
said would be inadequate. Nothing
short of radical revision of all the
rates such as was recently undertak-
en- in New England he said would suf-
flee.
Anything else is just playing with
the situation" he said.
"The condition of bankruptcy il
there and is going to stay there"
Attention was called during the day
to Mr.. Maxwell's figures for mainten.
ance of way and equipment for 1914
on the various roads. In some in.
stances these showed a decided in.
crease ove similar statistics for 1913
Commissioner Clark sought IN expla
nation, and the witness agreed to sup
ply it.
"We are using a lot Of old shoes
patching them up" he said. "Witf
new equipment hat expense would
| be cut down."

TRADE RECOVERING

Henry Clews in his Saturday review
says in part:
The worlds foreign trade is rap
idly recovering from the first shock
of war. Our own imports and ex-
ports are showing gratifying gains
over August and September. In i'm
ports the increase was $9,436,000 and
in exports sac, 1871 900 yer last month,
the excess Of exports in September
being Sic, 900 900, against an excess
of $19,400, 600 in imports during Au-
gust. The large orders received by
American concerns for military sup
plies will serve to materially swell
shipments abroad. In August and
September our cotton shipment fell OFF
about 1,000,0 900 bales. This loss will
be partly made good when the sterl-
ing exchange situation is rectffied
and arrangements are madefor inanc-
ing the crop. The world is still suf-
fering more from financial ~dislocatio1
than from the war itself, and the
rapid Improvement made in London
finances is greatly aiding progress
here" i Ais4sAnHA
