Cotton

October cotton has reached
10. 80 in New York, and this
Stltfening in the market has en-
couraged Southern holders, Very
little selling of futures is going
on. Financial America takes
this as proof of the contention
that the entire surplus supply is
in strong hands, and that the
present holders are waiting for
even higher prices. The time in
which free shipments of cotton
was permitted expired March 81,
and up to that date, the exports
had passed the $500, 600
mark. This indicates total TAX
ings by Great Britain to have
been 1000, 900 bales. Financial
America notes that Renskrof,
Lyon 4 Co., have issued a cir
cular entitled What is a Dol
lar S Worth of Cotton. The
circular says that the European
war has resulted in an unusual
standard of money measurement
in Europe and the financial legis-
lation in Washington has done
the same thing in the United
States, and claims that either
other articles are expressing
themselves too high or cotton is
much too cheap. The expansion
of our currency will not make
the problem of carrying the cot,
ton crop a serious financial pro-
blem such as was the case last
year.

The Fire Department

The call Of Mayor }. t. Chase,
published on the front page of
this issue for a meeting of the
property owners of the town of
Roanoke Rapids to be held next
Monday night, April 18th, for
the purpose of organizing an
efficient fire department, should
be needed by every property
owner in the whole town.
A fire department for Roa-
noke Rapids is a vital necessity.
1t should be well organized, well
trained, and most important OF
all should consist largely of men
who own property in the town
and whose interests therefore are
greatest.
Anyone who saw the fire at
the Presbyterian church building
last week and the methods used
to fight it, must have realized
the necessity we have for an or
gained and efficient fire depart
ment. We may not always be as
lucky as we were that time. A
fire may break out when the
wind is not in the right direc-
ton. 1t may also occur in a
crowded residential or business
district. When the latter situa-
ton occurs it is going to be just
a little too late for the fire de-
partment to organize.
