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 Aubnrn 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 consented to add an exhibit to the permanent dis play, and those who do not come *n 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 irr 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 a.sked 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 wi n join in the dis play. A swimming pool, baths and a gymnasium will be provided for the manufacturers a.-d members of the chamber. — COTTON GOSSIP PUBLIC ONCE IRE 1 Grain Notes CRAIN DROPS ON 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. Pierporit Morgan. The purchase of Lhe manuscripts by the Atlantan is Told of In London dispatches. "I don’t tl)ink 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 w’e 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.

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 soon 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 by 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 waa regarded as most propit ious to the plant and hasten its ma turity. 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 25.—Official records and private advices show a good rainfall overnight in North Texas and Oklahoma, ami the map shows a fine general rainfall in the Central and Eastern States; cooler in North Texas. Indications arc for more rain in the West, continued showery weather in the Central States and Alabama, clear ing in the Atlantic*. Since the date of Habersham King's report, I^ouisiana. 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. NEW ORLEANS COTTON. Cotton quotations: I I Map showed some scattered rains in j Western belt this morning, which gave rise to general selling by commission houses and the local crowd. The South is said to have also sold. Spot houses were apparently leading buyers, but most of their purchases seemed to be in summer positions. Liverpool was said 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 ■mattered short covering Reports as to Texas rainfall are conflicting Should general rains come it Is believed that the market W’ill sell lower, though some nulls contend this has been discounted, that cotton is worth the present price. It is purely u weather market.—Ander son. • ♦ • Hentz, Seidenberg and Liverpool brokers hedging July, but sold October. The selling was general. Mitchell and Wilson were apparently the leading sell ers on reports of rain in Texas to-day. • • # Warehouse stocks in New York to-day are 33,931; certificated. 24,554 bales. * * * Southern banks are borrowing more largely than in many years from Phila delphia banks and institutions They want 6 per cent money for 90 days, re quired to finance the picking and mar keting of the crop. * • • There were various signs that the end of the bull market has come. Spot markets are weakening for the ti**Ht time in many weeks. For an indefinite period the spot price of cotton at Gal veston has been 12 5-16 to 124*. while New Orleans has been equally firm around 12 7-16c. Wednesday both broke to 12%. 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. More liquidation of a few thousand bales would not have broken that market had there been any confidence in the stability of the spot markets. • • • Texas Rainfall: Abilene. .24; Ballin ger, .08; Clarendon. .08; Dallas. .40; Fort Worth, 1.22; Haskell. 1.36; Henrietta. .54; Quanah. .10; Snyder, .08; Spur, .12; Waxahachle. .56; Weatherford. 1.04; Weldon.

July 25-Hay ward & Clark: The „ weather map shows partly cloudy to cloudy over entire belt; nice rains in North Texas and detailed records at 10 o’clock will show more also In Oklahoma. Fine rains also in the central and eastern belt. Cooler in Texas. Indications are for a good d*al more rain coming on Texas and Okla homa; also in West Texas. Continued showery weather over the central belt, and clearing over th** Atlantlcs. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: "While general showers were re ported. either officially or privately, from nearly ail sections of the belt, with the exception of West Texas and the Panhandle country, the market for new crop cotton seemed willing to hold steady, and reluctantly declined only when the remnant old crop deliveries manifested acute weakness July is. of course, a thing of the past, except in so far as a few remaining trailers are concerned August, however, while a very live wire at the moment, neverthe less is not expected to develop any very f Treat voltage, because the outstanding nterest in that month is not supposed to be large "During the past few days it has been whispered about that the least desirable portion of the cotton received on July contracts would he re-tendered on Au gust. Yesterday morning August seemed to have friends Immediately before the lose those friends deserted it. Thus, the talent does not know just what to expect during the final month of the 1912-1913 crop year. On the face of things, room traders can not figure out a profit to be made by taking up cot ton on August at current differences.’’ • • * Habersham King’s latest report says: "The dividing line is the Mississippi River. West of it the conditions are more dangerously dry. East of the river the crop is fairly safe. though rains are beginning to lie needed in Mississippi, Alabama and more moisture needed in Georgia to render it quite safe. I think the week’s developments have been unfavorable to 50 per cent of the belt." 1 Government Suit Causes Weak ness in Am. Tel.-Tel.—Steel and U. P. Feature.

"It is the gossip of the corn trade that conditions in the corn market arc 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 go<*d ad vance. Armour Grain Company is un derstood to be 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.

In spite of a bad start these counties will get an average yield, if not a little better." * * * Houston.

Corn showed a general condition before re cent rains of 39.5 per eent with 57.6 per cent for the Eastern third. 72.5 for the Central and 26.3 for the Western third of the belt." BEAR PRESSURE Absence of Support and Weak Cables Promote a General Liquidation Movement. CHICAGO, July 25.—The wheat mar ket at Chicago showed considerable weakness at the opening to-day, net de clines of * fa/ % c being recorded during the first half hour of the session. Low er prices at Liverpool, coupled with fa vorable Russian reports, steadiness of Canadian offerings In that market, ex pectations of lighter world’s shipments and favorable weather in our North west being the influences which brought about the lower levels. Trade was not of large volume, with longs selling in a moderate way, and putting out of short lines being indulged in by some of the bears. Reports from the Northwest were to the effect that the crop now in finishing there will turn out better than expected. Northwestern receipts to taled 163 cars and Winnipeg 77 cars compared with 111 and 112 cars respec tively for the same day last year. Corn suffered a decline on further rains in sections where needed. Some short selling was indulged in early ajid longs were disposing of a protion of their holdings. Oafs followed in the course of the wheat and corn markets. Provisions were slow and weaker in sympathy with the break of 5 cents In the price of hogs at the yard. Grain quotations: THE WEATHER.

July 25 — Greater activity is noted in the local wool market, sales for the past week being estimated at fully 1.500.000 pounds.

The selling has been mostly in small lots. Traders think that the price of the metal is going to advance materially and that for'a time there will he larger profits, as there is considerable Lake Gopper in stock. It has been going slow during the recent buying movement. A broader market is looked for in view of the demand in the visible supply of cop per in general and the fact that Ameri can consumers have kept out of the market to await lower prices and now have small stocks on hand. Issues outside the I^ake have ad vanced as a rule. FORMER GEORGIAN DEAD.
