The aged postmaster asserts he was , rested only because he removed the .stofftee from a building Ottens owns. II s ottens denies, saying emphatically: It is ridiculous to say I caused Lei ’ g'r arrest in a spirit of revenge.

RENTINCREASES iFORGEOUTFIRMS Merchants Declare They Can’t Meet Big Advances —Many . Seek Cheaper Quarters. September this year brought its usual epidemic of moving, but not in years has there been so many changes in the I location of uptown business houses. More than a dozen prominent firms sought new quarters this month. High rents." said one business man rwho was moving out. "What do you - think of our rental jumping from $5,100 to $12,000 a year? That's why we had to move. < 'duldn't make that in cigars ! and soda water.” The increased rents is a natural se | quel to the remarkable advance in prop city values as shown In recent sales of uptown business sites. Some of the small concerns in Peachtree and White hall and the streets close by are paying 'rentals which would be out of the ques. tion were not business equally as re markable. Ihe highest rental paid in Atlanta, location and size of property consid ered. is said to be that of a cigar store | and soda fount just north of the Kim- I ball house Peachtree entrance. The | lease, it is said, calls for $15,000 a year, i with $5,000 of improvements to be ex pended each year by the lessee, making i a total of $20,000 per annum. The lease lis for six years. Another cigar store I a few yards north of this pays $17,500 a year rental, but it sublets a part of , its lease-hold at a high figure. i One small store in Marietta street, i between Peachtree and Broad, had its I rental raised, beginning September 1, from $3,600 a year to $7,700, more than I 100 per cent.

HAYWARD &. CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3. Mr. Hester makes the commercial crop for the sea i- n 1911-191.2, 13,138,426 bales. Liverpool lost 6 to 7 points since Friday, which she recovered this morning. Spots 2 points up since Friday. Sales continue very small —13,000 bales sinef' Friday. The re covery in Liverpool today was partly due to the fear of a further disturbance to shipping by the threatened dock l strike at Galveston Many look for a widening in the market parity, 'i be weather over the holidays was favorable, mostly fan - and warm, except in the Western states, where it was cloud}’ with some light scattered showers. Indications point to unsettled weather with showers in th< Western states, continued lair and warm generally in central and eastern states. The fair, warm weather checks insect damage and promotes maturity. Our market opened about 11 points higher in sympathy with the advance in Ll’ t rp'.ol and Nev York, but when the cause of the advance in foreign markets, the possibility of a disturbed export movement by labor troubles, became ap preciated, our market eased and sold at tunes tinder New York. Heavy and steady buying was reported from New York by the spot houses which had re cently opposed the market strongly. No explanation was given for this sudden support, but the strong advance in New York of 38’points fore <1 December lure to 11.20. The general opinion of the ad vance was that it was a move to oven up the market before bureau publication. RANGE IN NEW ORLEANS FUTURES. I cl £ | < I~z| J?
