pany. owners of the present Pineville
mill, will in the near future begin the
erection of larger plant for the man
ufacture of cotton goods at a point
lust north of the railway station IN
that town. The ice plant which has
recently been installed by oscar L.
Culp began operating last Thursday
night turning out 5000 lbs. of ice in
ten hours. The cakes are smaller than
is usually seen and will be more easily

Under the supervision OF
Thos. w. Boyd, county supervisor, the
road from the incorporate limits OF
the town to the bridge across the Ca
tawba river has recently been resur-
faced and now is in much better shape
than formerly. The road has, now
ever, vet to be shaped up and leveled
and 10 is hoped that Supervisor BOYD
will find time to do this work within
the next few days. The material used
for resurfacing the road is mixture
Of gravel and clay and was gotten
from the plantation Of Edgar Jones
lust east of the river bridge, and this
mixture makes an excellent road, once
it is leveled and packed. 1t strikes
The Times that the town of Fort Mill
could use some of the gravel-clay TO
a great advantage on the bad places
in the streets. Mr.. Jones has oceans
of the dirt and we imagine it could be
put along the streets at no great cost.

ing the last few weeks we have had
opened in the town a well-stocked
wholesale grocery and now we come
forward with g. modern plant for the
manufacture of ice. The latter is be-

rear of his storeroom on Main street,
and will fill another in the towns

can be increased at will. If someone
experienced in the business would open
a laundry to take care OF the house

 Chicago. March 25.-Extensive covering today by shorts in the corn market lifted the May delivery to the higest level yet this season and put strength into other months as well. Prices closed nervous at 14 to 21s net advance with May, S.4S15 to s1.4Ss4 and July, s1ss1aQ1. .SSa4 Oats lost Is to F, and provisions r to 55 cents.
 It became evident that the bulk of dealings in corn had started shifting from May to the more deferred deliveries. There appeared to be relatively greater pressure on the late months.
 The popular theory was that if any con siderable increase of the crop movement could be looked for the development would not be until after growers had completed their spring field work.
 Meanwhile stocks would not only re- main small but undergo decided further shrinkage Word that renewal of the shipping lockout at Beunos Aires was probable tended also to favor bulls.
 During the first part of the session, he wever, temporary weakness prevailed owing to-disturbed foreign conditions and to statements from government sources that lower food prices were to be ex- peoted in the near future.
 Oats lacked support. Most of the trade was local Weakness in the hog mar ket had bearish influence on proyi- sicns On the downturn, however, pack CTS bought.

Foreign Exchange Problems

A comprehensive review of the trend of foreign exqhange during the war is contained in a booklet being distributed by the American Exchange National bank 12S Broadway, New York. Of the outlook for the American trade bal ance it says: Thereafter an invisible balance of the trade will run in our favor as it has done in England's case for generations. How great it will be and how long it will continue depends on the manner in which We push our foreign trade and handle our interna- tional finances. American bankers, merchants and importers must not forget that if the rate of exchange re- mains heavily in our favor, 1t will be approximately heavy against our best customers and will tend to check their purchases from us while stimulating them to sell merchandise to us to the possible detriment of our industries"
