Destruction of Yokohama Switches- All Incoming and Outgoing Traffic to Sister Port. Nagasaki, Sept. 6.—Owing to the wholesale destruction wrought by the earthquake in Toklo and Yokohama; the center of forelgn tride will be shifted to Kobe., The Kobe Chamber of Commerce yesterday proposed to take charge of all incoming foreign cargoes intended for Toklo and Yo- kohama. The export of raw silk from Yoko- hama is impossible and it is generally hoped a silk exchange will be estab- lished either in Kobe or Usaka from which exports can be made. 1t is feared that stocks of raw siik in Yo- kokama approximating 47,000 bales have been totally destroyed. The Osaka branch of the Yoko- hama specie bank reports the foreign exchange market quiet with quota- tions nominal since Monday. Demand * for the dollar is increasing because the expectation of excess exports by increased shipments of raw silk dur- ' ing the second six months of 1923 are not likely to materialize owing to the disaster, STEPS INTO ELEVATOR WELL Customer in Main Street Store Falls From First Floor to Taken to Hospital.
