July Space In the permanent exhibit of Atlanta-made goods, which will be established In the new headquarters of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce building at Auburn avenue and Pryor street, will be allotted Friday after noon at 5 o’clock. On account of the limited space at the disposal of the committee in charge of the allot ment, It is expected that a number of local manufacturers will be present to arrange for their exhibit. Virtually every manufacturer of im portance in the city has contented to add an exhibit to the permanent dis play, and those who do not come in now are expected to Join the move ment later. The decision to establish the exhibit in the Chamber of Commerce build ing was made Thursday afternoon by a special committee headed by Brooks Morgan, which has been considering various locations for several weeks. The committee favored the estab lishment of the exhibit In the cham ber’s building from the beginning of the movement, inasmuch as the cham ber is the sponsor of the movement, and several days ago the directors were asked to name a price for a lease on the upper floors of the build ing. in addition to the exhibit of their goods, the building is being fitted up with other features that are expected to appeal to the manufacturers and merchants who w! 11 join In the dis play. A swimming pool, baths and a gymnasium will be provided for the manufacturers a..d members of the chamber. The South and Liverpool Heavy Sellers—Spot Houses Big Buyers of New Crop. Doubt Report That Dr. Jacobs Bought Burns’ Manuscripts Members of the family of Dr. Jo seph Jacobs are not Inclined to be lieve the report that he has purchased the famous Glenriddell manuscripts of Robert Burns for a sum exceeding $25,000 bid several years ago by J. Pierpont Morgan. The purchase of Ure manuscripts by the Atlantan is Told of in London dispatches. “I don’t think there is any truth to the report " Dr. Sinclair Jacobs, son of Dr. Jacobs, said Friday morn ing. “If the manuscripts had been purchased we undoubtedly would have been notified, and we have heard nothing of It except what we have read in the papers. Dr. Jacobs, so far as I know, has not been near London on his present trip to Europe." According to the London dispatches, Dr. Jacobs purchased the manuscripts from a dealer in London, who recent ly bought them from the Liverpool Athenaeum. It is said that the deal between Dr. Jacobs and the dealer was pending at the time of the first purchase of the manuscripts, and that the London dealer was merely Dr. Ja cobs’ agent In the transaction NEW YORK, July 25.—At the start to-day the cotton market was steady at a net decline of 4 to 7 points from last night’s close. Near positions again showed the greatest weakness, but they were also the first to respond to later covering and Boon after the opening the whole market rallied several points, with the shorts nervous over the over- so'd condition of the market. Liverpool was lower than due and brought out scattered selling from the ring. This, together with a perfect Weather map, showing further rains in Texas and lower temperatures generally, with indications for more showers, brought on more favorable apprehension that the drouth would not continue. The early firmness was not of long du ration. July continued on the toboggan and by noon had increased its decline 11 points from the previous close. Au gust, after advancing 12 points to 11.67, fell back two points under the previous close. New crop, positions were liquidated. The early buying seemed to be profit- taking purchases by shorts and hv mod erate buying by a few strong spot in terests. It seems now that the bull market Is about over. Weather and crop advices are excellent. Spots are weakening for the first time In many weeks and new crop cotton is begin ning to arrive at various points In Texas. The recent heat and clear weather w T as regarded as most propit- ‘ous to the plant and hasten Its ma turity. After slumping to 11.73 in the late ses sion for a net decline of 13 points from the previous close, July was quickly rushed back to the initial level and over, through heavy buying by brokers representing large spot Interests, based on the bullish spinners’ takings for the week shown in Hester’s weekly state ment. The buying was aggressive, re sulting in considerable short covering, by those taking advantage of the low level. At the close the market was steady with near positions net unchanged to 5 points lower, while new crops were 1 to 2 points higher than the final quota tions of Thursday. Following are 11 a. m. bids In New York: July, 11.78; August, 11.64; Octo ber, 11.25; January. 11.13. Following are 10 a m. bids In New Orleans; August, 11.57; October, 11.31; January, 11.30.

July 26.—This market was due 3 points lower on January and 1 to 1% points lower on other positions, but opened easy, at a net decline of 2% to 3 points. At 12.15 p. m. the market was quiet at a net decline of 3 to 4 points. Spot cotton easy at 3 points decline; middling 6.61d; sales 10,000 bales, in cluding 9,000 American. Futures opened easy. At the close the market was quiet but steady with prices at a net decline of 4@6% points from the final quota tions of Thursday. Map showed some scattered rains in | Western belt this morning, which gave i rise to general selling by commission houses and the local crowd. The South is said to have also sold. Spot houses i were apparently leading buyers, hut i most of their purchases seemed to be I In summer positions Liverpool was | ‘aid to have bought August here After Liverpool closed there was another wave of selling and in the absence of that buying power the market sagged off again, but rallied later on buying of some 6,000 bales new crops said to come from spot people. This caused cattered short covering. Reports as to Texas rainfall are conflicting Should general rains come it is believed that the market will sell lower. though some • ulls contend this has been discounted, that cotton is worth the present price. It is purely a weather market.—Ander son. * * * Hentz, Seidenberg and Liverpool brokers hedging July, but sold October. The selling was general.

This is a bad sign, as these are two of the most important spot markets in the South. In fact. Galves ton right now has larger stocks of cot ton than any other of the thirteen counted spot centers of the South. The break, so sensational in its extent of July in New Orleans, Is merely another sign of the times.

HAYWARD A CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, July 25.—Official records and private advices show a good rainfall overnight in North Texas and Oklahoma, and the map shows a fine general rainfall In the Central and Eastern States; cooler In North Texas. Indications are for more rain in the West, continued showery weather In the Central States and Alabama, clear ing In the Atlantlcs. Since the date of Habersham King's report, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia have had a fine rainfall and the Western States are getting it now. Our market opened a few points lower and held around 11.31 for October. It Is being realized that rains in the West came too late to improve Bureau re turns, which close to-day. The chances, therefore, are that the August Bureau, which will be published a week from to-day, will show several points loss and this explains the absence of sell ing pressure in the markets and a dis position to buy on depressions. Political news Is unfavorable. Ac cording to London news a revolution in China Is again under way.

"It Is the gossip of the corn trade that conditions In the corn market are the reverse of those prevailing last winter. Then the crowd was all bearish and sell ing short, while the Armour Grain Com pany was bullish and took hold of the market despite the unfavorable local speculative position and made a good ad vance. Armour Grain Company is un derstood to he bearish and has been selling corn short for several days, while the local crowd is bullish and is buying all the corn the Armour interests have. “Oats specialists said last night that 95 per cent of the local traders were bearish.’’ • • * Bartlett. Frazier A Co. say: "Wheat— Northwestern conditions are favorable, with generally clear weather and sea sonable temperatures. Do not look for any particular action in market to-day. "Corn—Map shows a few light scat tered showers in Kansas and Nebraska. We do not look for any break in prices. "Oats—Market seems to be quieting down, volume of trade being smaller, there Is no pressure In the way of country offerings. "Provisions—I.ncal packers seem to be buying September lard and foreigners are also on that side of .the market." B. W. Snow wires from Minot. N. D.: "Went through the Central and North west counties: they will yield decid edly above early expectations. I have never seen finer weather conditions for filling than now exist and heads are heavy and the quality will be high. Ef fect of June drouth Is apparently only In short straw. If the original stand had been good In North Dakota it would have reaped another big crop. Weather continues perfect. In spite of a bad start these counties will get an average yield, if not a little better.’’ • • • Houston. Fribble A Co., Kansas City, say: "The Dally Droverr’ Telegram of Kansas City publishes a report based on the spring returns from every county in Kansas making total wheat crop of the State 72,672.000 bushels, or a frac tion more than 12 bushels per acre.

LOUIS. July 25.—Weather this week was again favorable for winter wheat harvest, which is well under way in Northern sections of the winter whet belt. While rains have had some effect on conditions of grain in localities where there was considerable moisture, quality of wheat sent to market, nev- ertholes. is uniformly trfod. Threshing returns generally satisfactory both as to quantity and quality. While the movement of wheat to mar ket is still free, there are indications in some localities of a let-up in the sell ing Farmers seem willing to part with the first threshings and having thus re lieved pressing needs, show a tendency* to hola back the remainder of their wheat. Some farmers are taking ad vantage of the favorable soil conditions to t^gin breaking ground for fall wheat Wool Market Active, With Narrow Range BOSTON. July 25.—Greater activity Is noted In the local w'ool market, sales for the past week being estimated at fully 1,500,000 pounds. Much sampling has been done, but prices are no higner nor is any immediate advance likely. Recent buying has been largely to cover actual needs, as members have been getting some business recently. Buying of the Montana clip is progressing slowly. Prices are practically un changed. Marketing of the early-bought wools is proving to be more profitable than at one time seemed possible. Ap parently this may be credited to the de lay in the passage of the new tariff bill.
