Moving Day in the Street

Yesterday was moving day in Wsll
Street, and an almost endless process
sion of Office safes, fling cabinets,
desks and other fixtures passed through
tho streets Of the financial district, in
the process Of transfer from one build
ing to another. Persons who had occa-
sion to call at the Offices Of Kuhn, Loeb
& Co., at 81 William Street, found the
former Offices of the banking firm occu-
PIED by = corps Of carpenters and
wreckers who had made an early start
on the job Of remodeling the quarters.
Temporarily the firm is housed ON the
second and third floors. When the
work is completed, three months hence,
the main banking quarters of the COM
pany will be located on the ground
floor, while the partners will hold forth
on the second floor. The third floor
also has been taken to accommodate
some Of the departments of the firm.
The present quarters Of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. have been occupied by tho firm
since 1902.

Cosden yarn Dfscredised

After selling up TO z4N yesterday,
new high for the year, Cosden & Com
pany shares dropped back to 30M. Tho
rise was attributed to reports that
Standard OH interests were out for
control Of the company and were will
ing to pay as high as $6E 8 share.
This yarn was not generally credited,
however, and, according to brokers'
gossip was used as means for un-
loading by "insiders" who were
anxious to take profits. At least the
fact that the stock broke so badly
showed that somebody was anxious to
sell. Tho stock closed the day at Al,

FRIDAY, SEPT. %, 1921.
MAKE THIS A MARKET
CENTRE

Cooperative marketing Of cot
ton, peanuts and tobacco seems
to have been accepted by every
one as an assured fact, has been
recognized by the government,
and is being proven wonderful
aid in handling farm products Of
every nature.
One Of the principle arguments
in advocacy Of that system Of
marketing is that the products
can be sold in bulk and in grade
lots, which necessarily attracts
more bidders and makes the pro-
duets in question bring a higher
price.
If we are going to make Scot
land Neck a market centre for
farm products we must provide
housing, warehouses, for these
products and the farmers Of this
section themselves should get to-
gether and build warehouses them
selves and not wait for the bust
ness men to do so. There is not
a shadow Of doubt but what
cotton, for instance, in large
lots and graded and weighed by
an authorized grader and weigh
er will attract many buyers and
bring a higher price than will a
single bale, or two or three bales
This warehouse need not neces-
sarily be used for the long term
storage Of cotton, but could be
used for the temporary assemb-
ling Of cotton so that it would
attract the buyers.
The State is ready to aid in
this project through funds which
are accommodating by the charge
Of twenty-five cents on every
bale Of cotton now ginned, which
is turned into the State Ware
house fund. A charge of fiftee1
cents per bale is now charged fol
weighing and this would 60 {
long ways toward paying the ex
penses Of a certified government
grader and weigher.
Again, if we are going to max
Scotland Neck a market centre
we must provide tobacco ware
houses. By the time anothe7
season opens the bridge across
Roanoke River should be read,
for use and a much. larger terri
tory opened up. One Of the bes
ways to take advantage of thi
new territory is to provide
splendid cotton and tobacco MAJ
ket right here to attract the farm
ers of that section. Where far1
products are sold there grea
part Of the money is going to b
expended. sSH
Something must be done to or,
vide the attraction if we expe,
to go forward with our growt
and take our proper place amor

North Carolina. Remember,
is up to the men Of the town al
section to make this town an

Tomorrow the Dodgers will get a
severe test OF their ability when they
clash with Miller Huggins's warriors
at Alexandria. Following the game
the teams will leave for Shreveport
the training quarters of the Yanks,
where the Brooklyn team will meet
the American League representatives
in three games.
These four games with the Yanks
are regarded by Robbie as a chance
to see what his noble athletes con-
sist Of 1t will give the rotund leader
an opportunity TO observe the weak
spots in his ball club and will enable
him to repair the damaged holes in

looking over the material he has on
