RALEIGH. N. c., September 19.--In-
yasion of western North Carolina by
the acquisition of the Carolina, Clinch-
field and Ohio line in order to compete
with the Southern railway was as
signed by Carl H. Davis, appearing as
the Atlantic Coast Line general attor-
ney, as the purpose behind the applica-
ton of the Atlantic Coast Line and
Louisville and Nashville Railroad COM
panies to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for the lease OF the coal
field railroad. Argument of attorneys
brought the application hearing before
the state corporation commission to an
end yesterday.
Mr.. Davis declared that the coast
line, with a a profit and loss. balance OF
$54, 100000, and the Louisville and
Nashville, with a similar balance.
amounting to S82,000,000 is adequately
able financially to swing the trade. IN
volving slightly more than $4,000, 900.
There is no longer any rate compe-
tition," he said to the commission.
THE problem is one of service. We
believe that with two of the strongest
railroads in the country at each end
of the Clinchfield we will be better
able to give this service to western
North Carolina than any other road"

Bankers Association at Atlantic City,
September "a to 81. indicate an at
tendance Of more than 5000, a figure
considerably in excess of all previous
meetings of the organization. with
the single exception of that held in
New York last year.
1t is recognized that the New York
affair which drew some 1880 vis-
itors. including the banker members
of the association and their guests.
will long stand as one of the great
est convention gatherings of all
kinds ever held in the United States.
Previous high mark for the bankers
association was established at the
Chicago convention in 1909. when
there were 1900 registrations. The
association has met twice before at
Atlantic City. once in 1907 and again
in 1917, when 3,100 attended. This
years is expected to gain second
place in the record.
Speakers will discuss present-day
business conditions and problems.
An innovation is to be made at this
years convention in respect to the
resolutions, which will be presented
on the second day, when the attend
ance is at the height, instead of at
the end of the last days session.

ports of further heavy rains in Okla
bona and Arkansas, and the cotton
market opened steady today at an ad-
vance of 8 to II points. There was
good deal of covering after the re-

buying inspired by the unfavorable
crop news, which carried prices up
to 1880 for October and 2S.32 for
January during the early trading.
This made net gains of 29 to 80

BIG RATE CHANGES
URGED BY HOOVER
Sweeping Reorganization Needed
But Great Care Must Be Used,
He Says.

General reorganization of the entire
railroad rate structure is favored by
Secretary Hoover.
Commenting today on the plans of
President Coolidge to aid agricul-
tural interests, Mr.. Hoover said that
freight rates on agricultural products
should be lowered, as a complement
to the general reconstruction of all
rates. but he added that the problem
was delicate and involved, and must
be studied carefully by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Compared to class rates, commodity
rates are too high, Secretary Hoover
said. but he suggested that some of
the western granger roads might not
be able to survive a cut in agricul-
tural commodity rates, and empha-
sized he did not believe 1t desirable
TO reduce these rates unless the en-
tire rate structure was revised.
The Secretary also gave his ap-
proval to the railroad consolidation
plan. By consolidation. he said. rates
would be adjusted more easily than
now.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, September 10. - The
market opened today with good deal
of unsettlement, natural enough after
the sharp break at Tuesdays close.
After the first half hour, however, it
was evident that profits made on the
short side were being taken in
large way, especially in some of the
oils. This, with sharp spurt In the
sugar stocks. had the effect of turn
ing the general list.
The sudden buying movement in the
ment that Cuban American Sugar
common had been restored to So
dividend basis. Few had expected Il
dividend at this time and the news
caused a scramble to buy, not only
Cuban American, but Cuba Cane pre-
ferred and Punta Allegro, which car
ried these stocks up two to three
points within few minutes.
Lincoln Price Cuts Denied.
The street was full of gossip about
impending cuts in automobile prices.
These reports very evidently had
their origin in speculative rather
than in trade quarters. Lincoln mo-
tor was one of the companies which
was said to be about to announce
cuts. but dispatches from Detroit
quoted representatives of the COM
pany as denying this absolutely, and
as saying that the main difficulty now
was to supply the demand of dealers.
Not discouraged. bear traders con-
tinued to emphasize the huge output
of motor cars during the first eight
months of the year, and to assert that
this must sooner or later bring about
overproduction, followed by price re-
duCtions.

Studehaker was the only motor

stocks like Chandler, Pierce Arrow
and Hudson. General Motors, at its

was in response to the denial of the

No reason appeared for the sudden
squirt in United Retail Stores, except
that the floating supply Of the stock

the winding up of the old company
