*2ll Empire Building. Phone Main 1298
Whitehall Street
THERE is a profit here, in my opinion, of at least SIO,OOO within the next twelve
months. This property is located only a few hundred feet from the intersec
tion of Forsyth street. The frontage is 85% feet and runs back to a depth of
220 feet to the railroad. This property could be readily subdivided, which would
admit of a nice building lot on Whitehall street, and an ideal factorv or ware
house frontage in the rear. Price reduced from SSOO to S4OO a front foot in order
to induce a quick sale. Terms, one-third cash; balance one, two and three years.

COTTON BREAKS

Ring Crowd With
Small Demands—Cables Are
Strong—Good Weather.
NEW YORK. Aug. 6.—With near posi
tions under pressure the cotton market :
opened irregular today, first prices rang
ing from 6 points lower to 1 point higher.
There were reports of rains over the
Texas belt, but support was given the
market after the call upon strength of the
Cordlll report which said that Texas' con
ditions had improved materially within
the past week. After the bank holiday
period the Liverpool market opened about
as due. being in fair demand.
Continued reports from Texas of good
general rains and the government weekly
report on weather which came better than
expected invited further selling by the
Waldorf and ring crowds, and the market
made a further decline during the after
noon trading, with prices ranging from
13 to 21 points below the early prices,
with the exception of August, which
opened at 12.10, 20 points from the pre
vious close, and then declined to 12.09
Some large spot interests were buyers
at times, but were not able to check the
decline, as the offerings were heavy. It
is believed the continued rains In Texas
will probably cause the market to sag
to a lower level, but it is believed on the
Other hand that there Is a short interest
being accumulated.
At the close the market was weak with
prices showing net losses throughout the
list of 29 to 33 points from the final quo
tations of Monday.

HAYWARD &. CLARK S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 6. The map
this morning shows raining in north
Texas, showers in Oklahoma. Cloudj’
over entire belt except fair along th®
lower Texas coast. No rain in the cen
tral and eastern states. Temperatures
lower generally and now normal or slight
ly below. According to private reports
extensive rains fell over night in the
northern half of Texas. Indications are
for unsettled and showery weather in the
belt with good prospects for rainy and
cooler weather in the next 36 hours in the
southern half of Texas.
Liverpool showed encouraging steadi
ness today, refusing in part the decline in
our markets, and quoted spots only 3
points lower. First trades here were at
a decline of a few points, but the market
held steady around 12.60 for October.
Support was attracted by the steadiness
of Liverpool and anticipation of a bullish
weekly w eather report at 11 o’clock, which
report will not include the good rains in
Texas over night. There was also con
siderable straddle buying against sales in
Liverpool. Later on. however, so much
hedge selling came on the market that
it broke to 12.38 for October.

Texas coast; big rain at Fort Worth. 2.80;
raining now over north Texas to Abi
lene: also rain in Oklahoma Detailed
government report at 10 o’clock will show
extensive rains In Texas. No rain in cen
tral and eastern belt. Indications are
for further general rains in Texas, partlcu
larly central and southern portions. Un
settled, showerj' weather over rest of the

Telegraph companies report heavy and
extensive rains in Texas overnight.
(Vaco, Tex., wires: "Good, steady rain
since 7 this morning; still raining. Gen
eral throughout section. Hillsboro savs
rains working south.”
Cordlll wires from Memphis. Tenn.:
“Oklahoma, as a whole, is good; excel-
Itnt crop laid by and well worked, but
very small and late. The western por
tion of Arkansas is excellent; south good;
central very spotted: east and north poor
and late; scattered showers, light to good
and heavy rains have fallen over large
area In Texas. Oklahoma and Arkansas
where needed, vastly improving condition.
But more rains are needed in central
and south Texas, south and central
Oklahoma. Good rains also In parts of
the Atlantics where needed. General con
ditions improved materially in past five
days.”
The New Orleans Times-Democrat’s
summary: In spite As constantlj' Improv-I
ing means of quick communication, the
cotton market controversy over the ex
tent of rain relief in Texas Is now as
acute as It has been before in the sum
mer time. Liverpool, in holiday Saturday i
and Monday, opens this morning with an
abundance of bearish weather reports in
hand concerning Texas. A few cable
grams have been sent reporting the rains
in the west as heavy in a few localities,
light at a number of stations, and non
existent In a large and Important area.
In the opinion of extreme bulls, adequate
relief has come to only one-tenth of Tex
as. In the opinion of extreme bears,
three-quarters of Texas has had ade
quate relief.
Liverpool is due to open at a decline of
13 or 14 English points this morning.
Some shorts feared the foreign market
might not meet expectations because
there is an important conservative ele
ment abroad that has adhered to bullish
beliefs on the ground that consumption in
1912-1913 will exceed the largest crop
grown prior to 1911-1912, and that the late
start and periods of unfavorable weather
render the 1912-1913 crop promise ques
tionable at least.

WILSON’S SPEECH
Market Shows Disposition to
; Sag From Dullness—Senti
ment Optimistic.
.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. Aug. 6.—Price changes
i were slight at the opening of the market
| today, but a selling movement soon de
i veloped, which caused recessions through
out the list at the end of the first fifteen
! minutes.
i St. Paul was % lower at the outset and
later lost another %.
Nearly all the leaders were from % to
% off at the end of a quarter of an hour,
including Erie common. Inion Pacific,
Southern Pacific. United States Steel,
Amalgamated Copper and Brooklyn Rapid
I ransit.
Lehigh Vallej was hard hit in the bear
movement, dropping % from Monday's
close. Canadian Pacific lost %. but later
recovered and gained % over last night's
close, going to 277%.
The curb was firm. Americans in Lon
don were firm, but receded from their
highest range.
The tone was steadier in the late fore
noon and good buying was in progress.
Some investment buying for account of
the West appeared and there was also a
disposition to take advantage of reactions
in the Hill stocks. United States Steel and
other shares.
In the millafternoon buying orders ap
peared which caused a hardening of the
market. Some stocks reached the best
prices of the day on this movement. In
cluded in this group were Brooklyn Rapid
Transit. Rock Island preferred and United
States Steel.
American Tobacco recovered part of
its early loss.
The market closed steady.
Government bonds unchanged. Other
bonds firm.

Sagging Tendency Noted.
''HIi’AGO. Aug S. Them were ad
vances of %c to %c for wheat around
the opening. Rains in the Northwest,
where harvesting and threshing will be
delayed, coupled with stronger markets
In the < >ld World, especially at Liver
pool. were the influences.
I Corn was off %c to %c on heavy sell
| ing by local professionals and lack of buy
ing power.
I ttats were unchanged to a shade better
on smaller offerings and covering by
shorts.
Provisions were firm in tone and about
unchanged in price. A fractional ad
vance in hogs at the yards caused the
strength.
Wheat closed weak In tone with prices
ranging from % to % to %c lower. A
liberal run of bear news was partially
offset by a fair demand from shorts, which
helped to make the decline, steadier.
Corn was off % to % to %c at the fin
ish. There was covering on the
particularly soft spots by shorts.
Oats were % to %c lower. There was
steady selling, partly in the way of liqui
dation and partially by shorts.
Provisions showed but little change, but
prices were a shade lower.
