READY
FOR BIG MEET
Maryland Racing Plant Will
Be in Great Shape for
State Fair.

Laurel. Nd. September 25.-But
little work here and there remains
to be finished before the beautiful
racing plant of the Maryland State
Fair is in tip-top order for the an
nual October run of racing. While
greater things could have been done
in the Improvement line but for the
war. Laurel Park Will offer a more
imposing picture than IL did last
fall. Always keen to make things
as attractive as possible, General
Manager Winn has overlooked moth
ing TO make the local plant as pret-
ty as good taste and expert work
manship could make IT and has
everything complete at this stage
before the opening. With favorable
weather Laurel Park will be in gala
racing regalia when the gates are
opened next Tuesday afternoon on
what gives every indication of be-
ing the greatest session of the sport
of kings to be held in this part or
any other section OF the country,
for the twenty-five feature events
carded here next month will bring un-
der colors the leading performers OF
every age.
Horsemen are noticeably tickled
with the excellent condition OF the
track and those who inspected il
closely during the off-day at Hayre
de Grace on Sunday declared it was
just as fast as Saratoga. whore
records one after another fell by the
, wayside during the summer meet
ing at the famous upstate New
York summering resort. In places
81,
and under the supervision OF Frank
Keegan. a master hand with
track. it will be amazingly fast on
the inaugural day. that is il the
weather continues fair. The drain
age system is well-niEh perfect.
While the bulk OF the work prob
ably has been centered on the track
proper, the infeld where the steeple-
chasers will do battle has not been
neglected in the slightest The jump
ing game at Laurel Park next month
is sure TO be the best since this pop
ular branch OF thoroughbred racing
was introduced here. for a glance at
the nominations in the two cross
country fixtures. the Royal Blue and
Chevy Chase, reveals the fact that
the very best fencers in the land
will be here for the competition over
| timber during the twenty-seven days.
The overnight, too, will be filled by a
class OF leappers above the average.
and steeSlechasing will have finally
come iTgo its own during the ap-
proa chi2S October campaign Of the
Maryland State Fair. which, with the
special features practically arranged,
will eclipse that brilliant one OF last
fall. which marked an epoch in the
history of racing in Maryland. Judg-
/ ing from the early interest in the
forthcoming event OF the Maryland
State Fair. the daily attendances of
last year. which were the largest
since Laurel Park was placed on the
racing calendar. will be sent into
oblivion.

STOCK MARKET
HAS DULL DAY
Steel Companies Action
Slows Steel Stock, Which
Retards Buying.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Sept. 3.-with the ex-
ception OF Mercantile Marine preferred
and a few specialties, the stock
market was reactionary today. This
was due to the announcement by the
q. s. Steel Corporation that an eight
hour day had been adopted thus
practically giving another large in
crease in wages. This action and the
action of the Midvale Steel Company
in taking its employees into a sort
OF partnership are constructiYely
bullish on the market because labor
troubles are eliminated, but at the
moment Wall Street is inclined to
take profits. The market braced u
toward the close of the day so that
net losses were not large.
Mercantile Marine was the most
active stock on the list with the
single exception of United States
Steel. Its activity was based on be-
lief that substantial progress had
been made toward the big deal with
British capitalists for transfer of
British ships. Meetings are being
held to consider final details. 1t Is
also said that the company has an
option on certain ships now being
built for the government and that the
money received from the British deal
will be used in paying for those ships
after the war.
Prohibition May Affect Ice Market.
American ice directors put their
preferred stock on a regular per
cent basis which is the highest It
can receive by declaring an extra
of one per cent. The stock is nom
cumulative but after the preferred
gets per cent in any one year the
common can receive a dividend.
This ice proposition is becoming
interesting because so many brew
cries will be put out of business. A
good many of the breweries now sell
ice. The problem is to find out
whether they will discontinue these
sales by closing their ice manu-
featuring departments or whether
they will increase these ice sales.
The question OF prohibition is GER
tain to have an important influence
on the market for American ice
stock.
Belief in an early end OF the war
through collapse of Austria is
growing. One result of this was re-
newed strength OF foreign war
DOiuS. L MS ptlltl lIe
receive Cheerfully the announce
ment OF the Fourth Liberty Loan
with its six billion of bonds at AZ
per cent to run twenty years but
Callable in fifteen. There was no
discussion as to the sale of these
bonds. the only difference OF opinion
being as to the amount of over-sub-
scription. The tax exempt feature
of this issue makes it particularly
attractive for the great body of
business men OF the country TO
whom none of the other issues made
any special appeal.

COTTON MART EXCITED
OVER NEW FUEL ORDER
International News Service:

international News Service:
NEW YORK, Jan. II. - There
was a wild opening of the cotton
market today with January down
1877 points, March 157 points lower
and other positions off SO to So
points. March was the most active
position, the first sale being at
1915, compared with 31.O2 on the
close Wednesday. From that level
it dropped 10 % cents and then raj
lied TO $3.50. ending the call at
29.45.
There was a wave Of selling as
soon as the gong sounded, owing TO
the order issued overnight by Fuel
Administrator Garfield, which some
students figured would mean a cur
tailment OF nearly 100000 bales in
the consumption Of cotton for 10
days.
After the call market settled back
to more normal conditions and by
the end of the first 10 minutes some
good rallies had been recorded.
However, sentiment was still
rather unsettled and considerable
excitement accompanied the trad
ing.
