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 nnd authentic quotations
of cotton, grain, produce and prowls
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 1s believed that, though
first- designed simply 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 for the meeting, Is
being used as a dormitory on account
of the congestion of the hotels through
the convention.
Earn D. Jones, president of the cham
ber of commerce, took the chair ,nnd
W. H. Cooper, secretary of that body,
acted as 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. wag
Anally decided to organize the ex
change upon a plan as follows:
Plan of Business.
The chamber of commerce'will wel
come the exchange and conduct It un
der Its, auspices. Every member will
be required to Join the chamber. Ths
expenses of the exchange will be paid
by an extra assessment or dues from
the exchange members, and no expense
will be entnlled an the chamber os an
organization. The chamber will main
tain supervision of the business and
■afrguard Its Integrity. The letter and
the spirit of the Boykin law will bo
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-
d tbat an uptown building be se
ll and the chamber and exchange
established, the two organizations to
prorate thslr 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 c con
ference with other committees and pre
pare a report for the chamber of com
merce at a meeting to be held Monday
afternoon&t 4 o'clock In the offices of
the Atlantic Compress Company, In the
Candler building.
The men Interested In the exchange,
and who will compose Its membership,
will secure an estimate of the expense
of conducting such nn exchange, se
