MARKET EXCHANGE
ASSURED BY ACTION
OF BUSINESS MEN
The Chamber of Com
merce Will Control
and Direct.
A market exchange for Atlanta, pro
viding prompt and authentic quotations
of cotton, grain, produce and provls
Ions, with the possible addition of
stocks. Is practically assured. It will
be directed by tHe chamber. of com
merce. and that organisation will be
responsible for the Integrity of the
exchange. It Is believed that, though
first designed slmpty for the supply of
quotations, the headquarters will grow
Into a local exchange, where dealers In
actual grain, produce and other com
modities will buy and sell according to
their needs.
The movement took definite shape
Monday night at a smoker tendered
those Interested by George W. Parrott,
In the Columbian hall In Peachtree
street. The Piedmont banquet hall,
originally selected tor the meeting, Is
being used as a dormitory on account
of the congestion of the hotels through
the convention.
Sam D. Jones, president of the cham
ber of commerce, took the. chair, and
W. H. Cooper, secretary of’that hotly,
acted ae secretary of the meeting. A
great deal of discussion followed Mr.
Parrott’s announcement of the purposes
of the meeting, and several plans of
going ahead were suggested. It, was
finally decided to organise the ex
change upon a plan as follows:
, Plan of Business.
Tho chamber of commerce will wel
come the exchange and conduct It un
der Its auspices. Every member will
be required to Join the chamber. The
expenses of the exchange will be paid
by an extra assessment or dues from
the exchange members, and no expense
will be entailed on the chamber as an
organlzatldn. The chamber will main
tain supervision of the business and
safsguard Its Integrity. The letter and
tho spirit 6t the Boykin law wilt be
followed.
One Important matter growing out of
the plan Is the probable removal of
the chamber of commerce to more cen
tral and suitable quarters. It Is pro
posed that on uptown building be se
cured and the chamber and exchange
established, the two organisations to
prorate their shares of the expense.
Chairman Jones, following several
motions, appointed a committee of two
representatives of every business In
terested In the exchange to hold r. con
ference with other committees and pre
pare ft report for the chamber of com
merce at a meeting to be held Monday
afternoon at 4 o’clock In the offices of
