LARGE sum PLFDC-
Ed FOR CHAMBER

The Boosters committee of the
Chamber Of Commerce, composed of j..
P. Grandel, M. Reinhart, J. A. Lipman,
Ben Loinaz, H. w. Duncan and G. b.
Brown, spent Yesterday afternoon in
calling upon local business men for
funds for the organization. The com
mttee was well received and every
one called upon seemed deeply inter
ested in the project The sum of
1925 per year, to be paid in month
ly instalments, was pledged. with sew
eral still to be seen. 1t is considered
probable that the amount will exceed
$4,000. With this sum of money to
work with, in addition to the initia
tion fee of $40, which will no doubt
prove a source of steady income, the
success of the venture seems assured.

WANT BROUGHTON
 ID STAY IN ATLANTA
Members of Congregation Trying to Devise Means to
 Induce Him to Remain

Atlanta, January 23.-(Specia1 1.-The congregation of the Rev pr. Len q. Broughton of the Baptist Tabernacle is rendered and let him go to Christ church, Lcndon, without making a desperate fight to reain him here.
 Just what the congregation-one of the
 largest in the United States-will do is not yet determined But the matter is in the hands of a committee with view to devising some plan upon which Dr. Rroughton may be induced to remain
 pr. Broughton has stated that he would have to give up his work here on account of his health, which is impaired as a re- suit of ais hard work. That Is the sum and substance Of the reason given for his resignation.
 It is more than likely that the congre- gation will agree to give pr. Broughton all the time he wants to regain his health and to let him take as much vacation ns he pleases every year. It is likely also that he will be offered an increase of sal ary and other inducements.
 There is no question that Dr. Brough- tons congregation is very fond of him; no doubt that he has done a great work in Atlanta. In certain quarters Dr. Broughton has not been appreciated on account of what many regard his extreme sensationalism. But he has built up q good church and a strong church and he has brought to 1t a hospital where much charity work is done training school'for nurses and other valuable Institutional features. He has been an interesting figure in the community, and notwithstanding the fact that he has attacked many of the foibles Of society not a few of those in social circles are frequently found in his Sun day congregations.
 If he should make good his resignation and go 70 London, there Is no doubt he will be rlissed in Atlanta

any time in the early trading. Trade here was inclined to wait for more definite in- formation regarding the renewed labor troubles among the Lancashire mills.
 At the end of the first half hour of busi- ness prices were to points up-
 Around the late end of the first call a report was circulated that serious trouble was threatened among the large mills in Fall River. While this caused much comment, it did not bring out increased selling orders The list on the contrary continued to work higher until the trading months were to 3 points over yesterday.
 It was reported spot interests were heavy buyers. The Texas movement was large enough to attract attention, and 1t was also said that the interior was of fering spots more freely.
 The list held well, however. in spite of all the beerish gossip. Before the second call prices were 6 points up.
 Soalping longs took profits in the aft ernoon and prices eased off to the level of yesterdays close. At o'clock the market stood 3 to points up against moderate buying for both accounts.

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York, January 23. -(Special.) Al though the ginners' report was upon it's face bullish, the weather conditions were known to have bean the worst in many years and therefore the market did not respond, At one time prices were ! points higher. to close to points lower after a very dull day.
 In Liverpool the near posBons were firm, advancing on the distant deliveries and maintaining themselves on a high basis, compared with the American mar kets This premium is partially due to the high freight rates all over the world, to the growing scarcity of the better grades, and to the position of those who have sold distant deliveries for several years forward.
 They are believed to have purchased the spring and summer deliveries in Liv erpool as q hedge.
 Liverpool should decline to points tomorrow
