Winneshiek County Fair officers
and citizens was held at the Citizens
Savings Bank Monday afternoon,
and it was decided to hold the fair
several weeks earlier this year and
the dates decided on were Aug. IL
1S-19-20.
Unfortunately the fair manage
ment have met with rainy weather
on most of their dates in the past.
especially when the dates had been
set in September Last year the
weather Knocked the fair out. With
the attractions that were booked it
would have been one of the biggest
successes in the history of the asso-
citation.
Secretary L. NJ. Enger has already
started on the 1915 campaign, and
with a little boosting from all resi-
dents Of the county the 1915 fair
should be made a grand success. The
fair is a county proposition and it is
up to everybody in the county to
put their shoulder to the wheel and
make it a success.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, January 25.-(SpeciaL) )-Eu- rope promptly replied to our decline of Saturday by a decline in Liverpool of some Is points, but at the opening of our market it was seen that the liquidation of Saturday had practically ceased. A quick reply ensued of 15 points, which was maintained until just before the close, when sales by several local traders, who are bearish in their views. caused the loss of points
 The local trade feel that the advance of the past few weeks has relieved the south of cotton around cents, which has passed into the hands of spinners, and that spinners will not continue to buy if the south presses cotton for sale. They argue that growers will offer their cot ton more freely as they wish to settle with the merchants before new crop is planted.
 On the other hand spinners admit that there is a better trade demand for goods and we think they will buy freely on any lower markets osecure a reserve supply, which they neglected to do in December.

SMALLER STOCKS KEEP WHEAT HIGH
Tension on Buying Side Also Felt and New Record
 Is Made

Chicago, January 25.-Decded tension on the buying side and a falling off in the stocks helped key up the price of wheat today to Sl46ia bushel, the high est record during the European war The market closed unsettled at %d1Ac above Saturday night. Corn gained A@%c to ss@1ac net and oats 1sc to ss@aac. The outcome in provisions varied from 5c de- cline to a rise of 2lac.
 Although extreme predictions on the United States visible wheat supply were not fulfilled the shrinkage proved to be more than three times as large as at the corresponding time year ago. The amount of wheat on ocean passage also was shown ohave been materially re- duced. On the bulge in wheat profit talk ing by longs finally brought about mod crate reaction from top prices, but was far from putting an outright check on de- mand. Export sales at the seaboard were said to aggregate 500,0O0 bushels and there were rumors of 400, 900 bushels having been worked from here. 1t was said there had been big flour sales at New York for Eu- rope, and that clearances of flour cargoes for the next 30 days would be on heavy scale.
 Corn advanced with wheat. Trading was active at the highest prices on the crop. Exporters were buying both here and at the seaboard.
 There was broad demand for oats. It was estimated that foreigners took 1,000, 900 bushels. A fresh cut of 15 per cent was made in the probable Argentine surplus.
 Provisions rallied from weakness due to lower prices for hogs.

Nancy, January 25.-(Via Paris, II :01 D. m.)-"Ne could drive the Germans back here if we chose to attack in force" said staff officer who accompanied the correspondents on tour of the posi- tions held by the French in Lorraine, but there would be no object in doing this. We should have to retreat unless advances were made at other points along our line. Every thousand yard trench is linked up with another and each division fronts with the others.
 Members of the party were looking out from positions among the ridges of the Vosges acrCs,s the old frontier, which the French had been swept over in their invasion of Lorraine and the Germans in their invasion of eastern France Re serve territorials were excavating new trenches to stay any German attack in force.

TONE IN
 NEW YORK MARKET Cotton Regains Part of Sat- urday's Losses; Due to In-
 vestment Buying


 New York January 25-Cotton today re- covered good part of Saturdays losses on renewal of investment buying with the close steady at a net gain of from to Il points
 Liverpool just about met last weeks New York's break, but private cables reported less hedge selling and after opening at decline of points to an advance of points, the local market sold about 15 to 20 points net higher during the middle of the morning.
 Houses with Liverpool and New or- leans connections were moderate sellers on the advance and there also seemed to be some selling by spot houses, but there was little appearance of southern hedg- ing and this probably inspired much early buying. After active covering by recent local sellers, however, trading became less active, with the market later react ing some to 10 points from, the best under realizing, while there also seemed to be rather more southern selling in tue late trading.
 Some local spot people said the south was offering spot cotton more freely late Saturday.

FARMERS URGED TO
 RAISE MORE CATTLE

Jackson. Miss, January 25.-(Special) F. F. Bisbee, vice president of the St. Louis National Stock Yards. urges the farmers of the south to devote eveTt more attention to cattle raising and feeding. the supply in the corn belt of the west being scarce, and among other things of an encouraging nature to Mississippi says:
 Last year. Mississippi shipped S6,229 head of cattle to the St. Louis National Stock Yards, and their owners took back to the state more than S3500.000 in cash. Owing to the long stagnation in cotton, the ready cash market for cattle is caus- ing Mississippi planters to give more con sideration to increasing and improving their herds in the future.'
 The cattle raising industry is now well under way, and in the course of a very few more years every farmer in this section will be selling meat, whereas here tofore they have all been buyers.
