railroad station and Is land owned
by the Central Vermont Railway com
pany The matter has been taken up
with the company officials but a reply
has not yet been received. Although
the question of site cannot be decided
until reply is received many other
details, such as Incorporating and sell
ing stock can be taken care of. 1t is
expected that the corporation will
have a capital stock of at least $4,000.
The plant here will be a receiving
station for this locality and will be
equipped with machinery to work into
by-products whatever surplus milk
there may be after the Springfield
market is supplied.
A meeting was held in Bellows Falls
yesterday, called at the invitation of
the Windham County Farm Bureau, to
discuss the question Of erecting a coun-
try milk plant there in 1921. 1t was at
tended by about 20 persons, including
county presidents of the n. F. NJ p A.,
county agents and milk producers from
| Cheshire and Sullivan counties in New
Hampshire and Windsor and Windham
counties in Vermont.
| Strong interest was manifested in
favor of plant in Bellows Falls. 1t
was thought that the capital stock. re-
| quired to start such project would be
| based on the valuation of about $40 q
COW. 1t was estimated that building
land equipment costing between $780,

the business Of the producers who
would apply for admission.
1t was decided to take dairy census
of the territory eentering at Bellows

QUAkEs ALL SAME LIGHTNING

HONOLULU, T. H., Sept. s.
Large destructive earthquakes, like
lightning, never strike twice in the
same place, Doctor F. Omori of the
Toxic Imperial University declared
here recently in an address before the
Pan-Pacific Scientific congress. I'r.
Omori is considered the leading vol
canologist and seimological authority
of Japan.
The Pacific ocean, according to DIR.
Omori, is almost entirely surrounded
by an. earthquake zone and a great
ring of volcanoes. The cause of the
earthquakes, he said, lies in the in
stability of the earth's crust. Many
temblors, he added, originate beneath
the surface of the earth, many of
them becoming so feeble by the time
they reach the surface that only
seismograph records the sensation.

COTTON MARKET
GIVES PROMISE
TO END UNREST
Industrial Situation ShOlus n
Vast improvement Uith the
Cotton Market Increase and
Wool Factories Are Opening.
Bdnkink Still Tight. "

That improvement has already set
in the industrial situation of the ma
ton is shown by the weekly report
of the larger New York banking
houses. ..
The industrial, which is by far the
most marked improvement, is based
mainly upon the turn taken in the
cotton market and the announcement
of the opening of the woolen mills.
That the cotton yield for this year
will not be as small as the estimate of
the United States governments de-
partment of agricultural is now, ac-
cording to Henry Clews and Son, gen.
orally accepted. The department of
agriculture estimated at 67.5 percent
yield, but private buyers and growers
organizations have already put forth
estimates considered conservat v G
which promise considerably larger
yield. 1t is now thought in most cir
cles that the crop will run to approx
imately 100000 bales. q
1t is also anticipated that the
cotton market will soon strike stead
ier stride, and that there is no at
least immediate danger Of poor return
to growers. The early shakiness of
the market, in the face of the pessi-
mistic report of the department Of
agriculture, and the general money
condition at the time, was, according
to New York brokers', to be expected.
The retention and increased pur-
chase of Liberty and Victory bonds,
and the increased purchase of federal
reserve notes is also held as one of
the clearest indications of settled
period.
The railroad situation is looked up
on as steadily improving. The loss Of
5000, 100000 during the first six
months Of return to private ownership
may be explained as the result of tie
confusion incumbent upon the immcn-
sity of the transfer, coupled with the
peculiar financial situation and the
distinct period Of industrial unrest. ~
The money problem is still serious,
and is still regarded with some apprc-
hension, although a steady improve
ment in the tone of opinion in bank
ing circles has already slightly af-
fected the investment market. Bank
ers have frightened slightly on what
are considered as unessential loans
however. This general grim aspect
has been affected, by tn constantly
growing confidence in the statement
that $4,000, 900 in gold has already
left England for the United States
and that the French government
mould ,,,,IovH%e eIlxy folloxy IN hrir ~
ing the total shipment Of gold to this
country to $S0,000,000.
The shadow Of panic is thus rap.
idly receeding, according to Eastern
I6nancicrs, and period of better re-
lations is apparently already ap.
preaching.
