FIREDESTROYS ■ CIRCUSPOSTEB Five Companies Rush to Near- Blaze in Downtown Section. Young Atlanta Mourns. "The Greatest Show on Earth" was destroyed by Are this afternoon. Flames consumed the entire aggregation before five of the best companies in the South could answer a telephone alarm and save any part. With the "G. S. O. E.” went a menagerie collection of elephants, lions, tigers, giraffes and, it is said, a real “Bull Moose.” The advance ad vertisements alone can tell the number and variety of wonders included in its .collection. All this happened when some one tossed a lighted cigarette out of a back window of the Third National Bank building. Fluttering from the side of the adjoining building, now occupied by the Broadway hotel, was an enor mous cloth sign, that hung there before the skyscraper interfered with its pub lic position. In a moment the beauteous scenes oi jungle life, the flamboyant boxcar let ters of alliterative description ignited ants the passing breeze whipped it into a blaze. To the throng at Broad and Marietta streets it looked as if a blazing torch was hanging from me hotel window Some one turned in an alarm, and, as is customary on a centrally located fire, five companies raced madly to the scene. When they got there the sign had burned itself out, leaving scarce a trace on the side of the brick building, and the firemen went back. No more will the glorias of last year’s circus be recalled to the office boy who gazes wistfully out of an office in the big skyscraper adjoining. SHOP TALK L. G. REYNOLDS.

AID IS RUSHED TO TROOPS IN PERIL WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Alarmed at the danger which threatens Major Sedgwick Rice and his detachment of the Third United States cavalry on the Mexican border. Brigadier General Steever has sent Troop O of the Third cavalry to Major Rice’s aid. General Steever reported this move ment to the war department today, adding that he had heard nothing fur ther from Major Rice and considered the situation most dangerous. The American troops are encamped in a valley holding an advantageous posi tion against the Mexican rebels across the border. The rebels, however, now number 1,500 desperate men well equipped with smuggled ammunition and plenty of food, while the Ameri can cavalrymen have but 100 rounds of ammunition apiece and light marching rations. The reinforcements now on their way to relieve the major are convoying a large amount of ammunition and food and it is hoped they will arrive in time. General Steever reported that he con sidered he had enough troops now at El Paso to handle the situation, but to insure safety he has ordered the rest of the Third cavalry from San Antonio to Fort Bliss. General Salazar is reported to be in the mountains near Casas Grandes moving north to avoid the federal ad vance. Orozco- still is in Juarez, di luting the mobilization of his men near the border.

The popular Fisk Jubilee Singers also will appear in the pageant. They were here at two previous music festivals and are great favorites. TAFT SENDS IN HISTHIADVETO WASHINGTON, Aug.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 15.—Weather de velopments over night were more favor able. The conditions for rains diminished ami prospects are for geherallv fair weather conditions with exception of western Texas, northwest Alabama and northern Arkansas, where unsettled weather is likely. The map shows no rain . of consequence over night and only light showers in the central states. I Liverpool futures conformed to the ad vance in New York, but spot prices are only 8 points higher; sales low, small. Ca- ■ bles say market is governed by New York . operations. Early New York wires here this mom- ' ing predicted further professional support. There was in consequence a scarcity of sellers and the market advanced in the early trading on little buying to 11.81 ; for October. However, when the government forecast promised fair weather east of the Missis sippi river the market lost 9 points. There was also a rumor that returns to the Na tional Ginners for the half month indi cated a condition of 77.5 against 77.6 on July 25. New York wired during the day that spot interests were against the market and that the mill demand had stopped on the advance. Our market continued to fluctuate sharply and showed nervous unrest. It seems' for the moment that there is still a little too much short interest for the size of the new crop movement and the i chance for a temporary professional flash on this short interest is being satisfied. I The strong support in New York by cer-* tain operators is explained on the ground of such an intention. If the weather continues good the new crop movement outside of Texas will son put a stop to all manipulation and bring the markets down to spot facts.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat’s .summary: With the elimination of sell ! ing pressure by liquidating longs, the cot ton market has turned its attention to the adjustment of parities in which un dertaking the relative strength of early receipts is playing a leading part. With the ending :>f August and with the be ginning of a full movement a little later, talent an<l trade will have to consider the prospective yield in its relation to re spective requirement as a concrete price factor, and to that end will dig deep under the surface of things cropwise and trade 'wise. Meanwhile, technical conditions I growing out* of the speculative line-up and speculation resulting from the late ‘ ness of the movement, and the magnitude of the August requirement will figure to i a greater extent in price making. There are some students «if the market who believe they see unmistakable signs of a period of less active trade, particu larly in Europe. In this connection, how ever, some of the largest cotton houses report they can discover nothing that leads them to expect less than a fourteen milllon-bale requirement in 1912-13.

UP IN EARLY SESSION D ‘ Passage of Steel and Wool ■ Bills Has No Bear Effect on 1 Stock Market. s * By CHARLES W. STORM. / Aug. 15. Canadian Pacific r vook the leadership of the stock market at the opening today, having a bull move ment in this stock in London on reports • ‘it, ex P ec ted new rights for the system. ; This issue opened here at 281% after hav ing closed last night at 280%. ; Ute tone at the outset was firm, the I market showing no bear effect from the ! passage of the steel and wool bills by , the house over President Taft's veto. An t other cause that Wall Street held partly responsible for the good tone was the pub . lication of bumper crop reports with the ; resulting conclusion that railroads would ' need further equipment to handle the 3 grain traffic. Steel common opened un changed, but quickly moved up %. Steel . common opened unchanged, but quickly 5 moved up %. Steel preferred also rose . Among the other gains were Amalga mated Copper Erie common Balti- , more and O. %. Atchison Lehigh Val - ley %, Missouri Pacific 'i and Southern Railway %. . The curb was strong. Americans in . London showed strength with the Eries in ? best demand. Canadian Pacific rose on i- reports of the acquisition of highly bene ficial privileges. s Two reasons were advanced for strenfth , of Eriee in London. One was that the . first preferred Is to be put upon a 4 per > cent dividend basis, and the other that In :> terests allied with the Canadian Pacific are buying the stock. t Strength displayed in the market dur- 4 ing the forenoon due to outside buying. . The copper stocks, with Steel common . and Reading, were in brisk demand, while 4 Canadian Pacific advanced %c. t After midday selling pressure appeared . in tlie market and the tone became heavy. In the mid-afternoon there was a num ber of recessions. Then the late trading . actual pressure especially In Reading ap -4 peared. Reading declined to 171%, a loss 9 of 1% from last night’s closing, while losses of around a point were scored in k Louisville and Nashville, Great Northern Oro, Northern Pacific and St. Paul. The stock market closed heavy; govern ments unchanged; other bonds Irregular. Stock quotations: ,1 I ILast | Clos. IPrev STOCKS— IHlghlLow Sale ' Bid.JCl'M _ Amal. Coppe?: 85% 85 I 84% 84%1 85% 1 Am.
