er necessary requirements to the fair.
Mcssfs. Byrd, Watts and Power have
been busy for the past several days
arranging the premium list and the re-
suit Of their labors is found in today's
paper. y rough estimate Of the priz-
es being offered this year places the
money value at $500, being more than
has ever been offered before. These
were offered largely by the merchants
OF Laurcns, who are showing a great
deal Of interest in the annual event.
and by few others, four prizes being
offered by citizens of Cross Hill,

Miss viii Lou Gray has announced
that the rural schools will have
booth on the fair grounds and that a
comprehensive school exhibit will be
shown. The exact details of this ex-
hibit have not been decided upon, but
the contribution OF the educational de-
partment Of the county Is expected to
be valuable one.
1t Is planned to have gate Of en-
trance and gate of exit, through
whiih teams may pass without confu-
sion. The entrance gate will be at the
usual place near the colored school
house, while the exit gate will be at
the western end of the fair grounds.
President Byrd was in the city yes
terday and said he was very enthus-
iastic over the outlook this year He
said that the interest already aroused
was greater than it had ever been be-
fore and the prospects arc that more
exhibits will be placed and more pco-
pie will be present than at any former
fair.
An extensive advertising campaign
has been put under way in adjoining
counties, advertisements having been
placed in Woodruff, Fountain Inn and
Honea Path papers. Those are OK

CHICAGO MARKETS LOWER
Grains and Provisions Fail IN
Frenzied Trading.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Breaks and bulge,
covering an extraordinary range OF
ga cents. demora lied the wheat mar
ket to-day and left prices unstrung al
4asc to sac under last night. Other
net losses were: Corn, 2i4c 10 2'shd
2iec; oats, Is &c to 2lsc, and pro-
visions sc to zoe.
In selling panic at the outset May
wheat fell sac to 81 1914, and then
shot skyward to 81 &c. new high rec
ord of the war season.
Wild rumors Of immediate opening
of the Dardanelies and of negotiations
for peace caused the collapse of wheat
at the start. Stoppage of export de-
mand was responsible in the main for
subsequent depression.
Corn resisted selling pressure better
than wheat, although rural offerings
of corn to arrive showed an increase
and there was no urgent shipping in
auiry from the East. Exporters were
in fact resellng in some cases. Oats,
like corn. 70 lowed the general lead Of
wheat The principal selling came
from longs realizing profits.
Pork developed considerable strength
at one time in sympathy with higher
prices for hogs. Packers were free
sellers nevertheless, and in the end all
provisions as web as grain were quoted
az a decline as compared with last
night.

GERMANS HOPE FOR
RESOURCE In BETS
Expect TO Make Up by Sugar
Roots for Food and
Fodder Shortage.

According 10 reports from Amstef-
dam the German Federal Council has
decided to curtail by one-quarter the
legal restriction on the cultivation Of
beet root this year Why the reduc-
tiou Is not greater is explained by a
letter the Federal Sugar Refining Com
p.ny has received from a correspond
eut in Germany, who says:
There Is strong opposition by the
manufacturers to a large curta!lment
100 the beet SowIngs this spring for the
following reasons: If the war con-
tinucs, our country will not only be
shor. Of 100000 tons of cereals, but
also 100000 tons of cattle feed i'm
ported in 1913 for he greater part
from the United States. There is no
better crop by which this loss can be
covered than sugar beets, which are
rich IN nouris hing elements and can
easily be preserved for any length OF
time by proper treatment.
Further, it should be considered
that usually i'm Germany great
amount Of potatoes are distilled to al
cohol, used for power and lighting
purposes. This product is the more
valuable at present as the import OF
narhtha is impossible.
If the war continues TO next fall,
the surplus of ugar beets will be
dried and distilled, but il we have
peace before that time, all the beets
VIII bc worried to sugar, which, in all
probability, will be very rare article
next fall in the world market

MANITOBA BORROWS
S5,500,000 HERE
New Loan a Result of British
Restriction on Colonial
Financing.

The largest loan of British posses
sion made IN the New York market since
the odlct of the English Treasury De
par;mont that no colonial financing will
be permitted by London bankers dur
ing the war without special dispen-
sation, has been arranged with the
Province Of Manitoba by Kssel, Kinni-
cult d Co. a local investment house.
The loan Will amount to approximately
$500 600, and will run for five years
at . per cent. 1t is expected that the
bankers will make formal announce
ment Of the loan to-day, including the
promise Of q public offering soon.
It was also announced yesterday that
the city Of Ottawa has placed a $1,000
600 loan with New York bankers, in
dependent Of a proposed sale Of de-
bentures for the same amount for
which bids viii be asked later.
The arrangement with the Manitoba
authorities is expected to be followed
soon by additional Canadian financing
by New York bankers. The head of
prominent Investment house said yes
terday that there is hardly a province
across the border that is not seeking
credits here. The necessity for quick
action is apparent from the rapidly
the United States.
Since the outbreak of the war New
York has become more and more the
borrowing centre for foreign nations
and municipalities. Principal loans to
date. including the transaction with
Manitoba, aggregate s110,000,000. Some
Of those made are as follows: Ar
ccntina, Sl5.OOOOO0; Panama, $1,000
600; Norway, S3,OO0,O00; Sweden, So
600 600: France, S22,000000; Switzer-
land, S5.OOO,OO0; Montreal, S6,900,0O0;
Canadian Pacific Railroad, Sl2,69O,OOO;
Canadian Northern Railroad, $1,000
600; Province OF British Columbia, 81
100000; Province of Manitoba, $780,
GOO.
Before the war began Canadian
provinces financed their needs largely
in the London market at lower rates
than are being asked here. In normal
times the present loan with Manitoba,
bankers said yesterday, would have
been negotiated in the British capital
probably as low as 4A per cent.

overnight buying orders, attracted BY
the firmness OF Tuesdays market.

SHAUGHNESSY OPTIMISTIC
Sir Thomas Sees Better Times
for United States.

Sir Thomas ShauChnessy, president
Of the Canadian Pacific Railway, who Is
at the Carlton, predicted yester-
day that the United States Will soon
enter on an era Of marked activity and
prosperity. With regard TO the report
ed intention of the Canadian Pacific 70
sell or lease its steamship lines Sir
Thomas said company was being
formed TO take over the ocean steam
ships, but that the matter was wholly
an internal arrangement.
Il can see no reason why business
should not be excellent in the United
States" he said. There are large
crops, prices are very commanding and
the United States is doing a very great
cxport business, Notwithstanding the
shortage of tonnage on the Atlantic"
Discussing the situation in Canada
Sir Thomas said the crop area is large
w in excess Of anything ever before
seen in the western section. The in
crease he estimated at 20 or 20 per
cent. ,. :;
"The only threatening feature IN
Canada now" he said. "is the situation
resulting from the wild and stupid rail
wav policy which has been pursued
there. exemplifed by the construction
Of two additional transcontinental lines
