IMPROVEMENT IN
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
COTTON PRICES CONTINUE TO
MOVE UPWARD-WHoLESALE
AND RETAIL ACTIVITY SHOWS
INCREASE OVER THE coUN.
TRY.-HELPS IN SOUTH

New York, Oct. 22-Developments
of the past week in industry and
finance are encouraging in many res
poets. Wholesale and retail activity
in particular increase perceptibly,
partly stimulated by the cooler wealth
er. Continued strength in prices for
farm products, however, overshad-
owed for the moment other import
ant industrial factors. Although cot
ton growers have sold the staple
heavily, excellen buying by the for
eign and domestic trade has given
the market the needed support. A
tardy awakening Of spinners to the
fact that a real shortage may have
to be faced later, it is pointed out,
is responsible for much Of the pres
ent active demand. Cotton futures
at 23c a pound, or better, are selling
at the highest levels since the begin
ming Of drastic defation in 1920.
The effect in the South already is
spparent. Prevailing, grain prices al
so contrast sharply with the recent
low levels and with prices Of year
ago.
Reports of shortages abroad have
been an important factor in the
market Of late. This has offset heavy
marketing, which has gone on apace
in the face Of a shortage of railroad
cars. With wheat close to $1.15 a
bushel at Chicago, the farmer is get
ting around 81 a bushel. While he
may not realize any great profit at
this figure, the fact that he is receiv-
ing nearly twice as much for corn as
a year ago and that other farm prod
ucts have risen, shows the improve
ment of his position as compared
with a year ago.
Now that fuel supplies are plentiA
full, the transportation situation is
no longer menacing, sales Of finish
ed steel are smaller and the demand
for prompt delivery is less insistent.
The industry has made up the ground
lost in the late summer and the
trend is toward quieter conditions
with prices working lower.

CH|NA'S INVITATION
SENT TOUNDERWOOD
ORIENT ASKS THE DEMOCRATIC
LEADER IN SENATE TO VISIT
EAST AND PREPARE AND PUT
INTO OPERATION TARIFF
SCHEDULE.

Washington, Oct. 22.-The Chin
ese government has invited Senator
Oscar w. Underwood of Alabama,
Democratic leader in the senate, to
visit China, prepare an acceptable
tariff for that country, and put it
into operation.
The invitation was delivered some
days ago, it is just learned, by
Saoke Alfred Size, envoy extraordi-
nary and minister plenipotentiary,
China's chief representative in the
United States. Senator Underwood
declined the invitation but it is un-
derstood that he has agreed to aid
the minister in securing the neces-
sary assistance from tariff experts
in this country. =
At the Washington conference
Senator Underwood was chairman Of
the international committee which
prepared and reported tariff judg-
ed applicable to conditions in the
Orient. The tariff was not entirely
agreeable to, China because certain
restrictions against complete auton-
omy were imposed. The Chinese gov
ernment since that time, however,
has apparently concluded that the
tariff was as satisfactory as possibly
could have been devised in view of
China's more or less dependence on
other nations. It is understood that
the Chinese government determined
that the tariff prepared for it in
Washington was so fair and equitable
and expertly drawn that the author
should have the distinction of put
ting it, with certain amendments
which lapsing time would make nec-
essary, into effect. Senator Under
wood is at present in Alabama.

.F|FTEENPERS0NS
BURNED TO DEATH
FIRE is BELIEVED TO BE WORK
OF PYROMANIAC.-FLAMES
SPREAD so QUICKLY MANY
VICTIMS ARE FOUND IN BEDS.
SEVERAL CHILDREN DIE.

/ New York, Oct. 22.-Fifteen per
sons, most of them children, lost
their lives early today in a fire, be-
lieved by city officials to be the work
of a pyromaniac. The flames swept
with murderous suddenness from cen
lar to attic of a fve-story brick tene-
ment at Lexington avenue and 110th
street, in the thickly populated East
side.
The blaze apparently started in
a baby carriage under the stairs in
the lower hall, under almost identi-
cal circumstances, as the recent in.
cendiary fire in an upper West Side
apartment house, which resulted in
seven deaths. So quickly did the
flames spread through the building
that a number Of the dead were
found in bed, without chance Of es-
cape.
A Mr.. Silver and four of his chill
dren were victims. Mr.. and Mrs.
Abraham Matilsky and Sidney and
Catherine Sugarman also perished.
Shortly after o'clock this morning
City Marshal Joseph Lazarus saw
smoke from the hallway Of the build
ing. He ran to the next corner and
turned in an alarm. When he re-
turned the whole building the ground
floor of which is occupied by stores,
was mass of flames and exit by the
stairways was cut off. Most of the
persons on the second floor succeed
ed in making their way down the
first flight, but these had to battle
through smoke and flames pouring
out of the windows.
While the firemen were at work on
the second and preparing to fight
their way to the one above, the third
floor collapsed, but not before a
warning roar had sent the fremen
back.

DEATH OF J. S. NORWOOD

News was received in Abbeville
yesterday of the death Of Mr.. John

B|GSTATEFA|R
OPENED TODAY
ALL RECORDS TO BE SMASHED
BY SHOW--THE DEMAND FOR
SPACE. EXCEEDS EXPECTA.
TIONS-EXHIBITS FROM ALL
OVER THE STATE.

Columbia, Oct. 22.-The greater
South Carolina state fair, the great
est agricultural, live stock, mechani'
cal and amusement show ever held
in the state according to those con-
nected with it, opens Monday at
noon.
The claims of the men who have
worked hard to make the fair an un-
qualified success are borne out by
the very varied line of exhibits al
ready collected, by the full amuse-
ment program and by. the plea for
space, which in a number of depart
ments has already been exhausted
and for which waiting lists have been
compiled.
The fair pictures, in miniature, the
resources of the Palmetto State
and the numerous exhibits will a.
rouse in the breasts of visitors feel
ings Of pride by reason of their beau
ty and attractiveness.
An indication of the magnitude Of
the show that is to be held next week
is revealed in the statement by J. G..
Harrell, secretary of the poultry
show, when he came to Manager
Fleming yesterday afternoon and
asked if he could not get more
space. Something like 1900 birds
will be shown in this department as
against about 1000 at the fine poul-
try show last fair week. And yet ex-
hibitors are still asking to be admit
ted and there is no place to put their
birds.
The big steel building will be fill
ed to overfowing. Space in this main
exhibition hall was consumed early
in the week.
The new cattle barn will not hold
the exhibits in that department and
part at least of the former poultry
show building will be used for the
excess of cattle.
1t is expected that the swine show
will go beyond the bounds prepared
for it and that a portion of the old
cattle barns will be used by the ex-
hibitors of hogs.
The busy scenes at the fair ground
for the past few days are all the
more enlarged now. From now until
Monday noon hundreds of men, wo-
men and children will be busy get
ting everything in shape for the peo-
pie who will come into Columbia
from every part of the state next
week.

LIQUOR ruling
EFFECTIVE NOW.
BRINGS END TO TIME
ExTENSIoN.-SEvERAL DAYS
WILL ELAPsE BEFORE AU-.
THoRITY OF OFFICERS is.
DEFINED.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Provis-
ions of the lifuor statutes held by
Attorney General Daugherty to,
prohibit transportation and sale Of
alcoholic beverages on American
vessels anywhere and on foreign
vessels within three miles of the
United States coast, became effec-
tive tonight at midnight.
The extension of time ordered by
President Harding to permit ship
lines to arrange their affairs to con
form to the ruling, expired at mid
night and enforcement officials de-
clared suggestions for a further ex-
tension had not been approved.
1t was considered probable that
several days would elapse before
customs and prohibition forces
would have at hand specific insruc-
tions as to the scope of their author
ity under the Daughterty opinion,
but this, it was declared, would
have no effect on the operation of
the law. a foreign vessel sailing
with inhibited cargo today, it was
said would be liable to the penalties
fixed by the Volstead act if and
when she entered American coastal
waters bearing that cargo.
American ships under the ruling
of the attorney general, which re-
ceived the formal approval of Pres.
idenT Harding, are prohibited from
crossing" with liquor regardless
of where they are in operation. The
ban was made operative as to ship
ping board tonnage as soon as the
ruling was published, though time
was allowed for the disposal Of any
illicit stocks on board vessels of the
fleet than at sea. Enforcement offic
cials are hopeful of decision COM
ing from the federal district court
in New York, where the new inter-
probation for the law is under fire
by both foreign and American lines
before the arrival of a vessel in vio-
'lation of the ban nocassitates puni-
tive action against the ship, the ag-
ents and her masters as required by
law. ....s ..
1t is pointed out that only vessels
which clear from foreign ports af-
ter midnight tonight come within
the restrictions, thus giving a fur
ther automatic stay" of from five
to seven days in the cases of most
ships On the regular Atlantic routes
and of an even longer period with
respect to- ships crossing the Pacific.

FRENCH PROPOSE
RIGID CONTROL
OF ALL GERMAN FINANCES IN
FUTURE-PLAN SET FOR
WARD IN PARIS FOR SOLU-
TON OF DIFFICULTIES OF
BERLIN GOVERNMENT.

Paris, Oct. 21.-Complete and
rigid control of all German finances.
power to veto expenditures and re-
gulate taxation and authority
to dictate the arrangement of the
various German states are among
the chief proposals contained in the
plan of the Srench government for
solution of Germany's financial
difficulties and for the placing that
country in a position to meet her re-
parations payments.
The plan was submitted to the re-
parations commission tonight by
Louise Barthon, the French repres'
entative on the commission Of the
project will begin tomorrow. Al
though not mentioned in the official
summary, M. Barthou's plan contem
plates a meeting of leading busi-
ness men of the world to determine
Germany's capacity to pay and to
consider the question Of inter-allied
debts. !.
The plan, in effect, is reply to
the British reparations project re.
Gently placed before the commission
by Sir John Bradbury. 1t. differs ra.
Ideally from the British point OF
view, M. Barthou urges the calling
of the Brussels conference to deal
with a board reparations commits
sion to the application of new
guarantees and reforms for Ger
many, leaving the more comprehen-
sive issues TO an international meet
ing. i
The proposition would gradually
put Germany on gold basis, begin
ing with an issue of gold treasury
securities. M. Barthou would have
Germany pay her outstanding obi
cations in paper currency and he
calculates that then Germany's pap
er circulation would be 510,000,-
100000 marks, which at the present
rate of exchange are worth less than
the reichbank gold reserve.
The moment has come according
to M. Barthou when the allies must
take energetic steps or else be faced
by a Germany proclaimed before
the world a ruined nation, despite
tho fact that her actual capital is
intact.
"We don't accept the contention
that Germany is totally incapable
of paying" says NJ. Barthou in his
plan "Despite Gemany's enormous
budget difficulties, she retains trem-
endous riches and has great
strength to continue production and
maintain her national vitality"
