Contest Manager Gives Tip to
Hustling Boys and Girls.
Just Five More Days.
"Concentrate on the Sunday Ameri
can.” 1s the advice the contest man
ager gives the boys and girls who are
striving for the Georgian and Ameri
can ponies.
“The boys and girls should do this
for the simple reason that, for the
same amount of money, Sunday sub
scriptions count much faster in the
vote totals—up to Tuesday night.
"I would suggest that the contest
ants talk Sunday paper to their
friends and the other ‘prospects’ they
approach. If a determined effort suc
ceeds in landing such a subscription,
then they should try to get a daily
subscription added to the Sunday. If
the Suncay paper appeal seems 13
make no impression, turn to the daily
paper.
“My advice is disinterested, for we
are as glad to get subscriptions to
the Georgian as to the Sunday Ameri
can. But just now. a year’s subscrip,
tion to the Sunday paper costs but
$2, and counts 2.000 votes for the
contestant. There’s no other way to
get 2.000 votes for $2,.and. with five
working days only remaining in the
contest, every vote tells.’’
The contest manager intended to
run the vote standings every* day up
to the close of the contest, but it was
found impossible to keep up with the
task, so many are the “Red Letter
Ballots’’ pouring in.
The standings, as far as corrected,
however, will be published Sunday.

THE PLAY
THIS WEEK
At the Bijou;
Capacity audiences doubtless will wit
ness the remaining performances of

traction has pleased Atlanta theater
goers. The announced attraction for

wald’s up-to-date musical show, “The

hibitions of Victor Hugo’s “Les Mis
erables’’ at the Grand to-day, conclud
ing the engagement of the wonderful
picture. ✓
There has never been a more inter
esting photoplay seen here, and the fact
that the attendance during the last half
of the week has been four times as
great as the. opening, is evidence of
the fact that the exhibition has won ap
proval.
For next week the Wells people have
another treat in a six-reel exhibition
of the Carnegie Museum Alaska-Sibe-
ria hunt pictures.
Big Forsyth Week.
With matinee and night performances
Saturday, one of tVie big weeks of the
Forsyth will have been recorded Head
ed by John Conroy and his diving girls
the show has proven to be one of the
most inviting of the season.
Commencing with matinee on Monday
a/nd continuing all tKe week another ex
cellent bill will be the attraction. The
headline features will be the contribu

Details of Exhibit Lease.
Details of the lease on the four top
stories of the Chamber of Commerce
Building, at North Pryor street and
Auburn avenue, by the Merchants
and Manufacturers’ Association for a
permanent exhibit of Atlanta-made
goods were announced Saturday.
The total number of square feet ; n
the four floors, 20,000, has been di
vided into units known as “spaces” 10
feet square, or 100 square feet, and
the price per month is $8 per “space,”
or $1,600. The yearly rental will, ac
cordingly, be $19,200. Some of the
manufacturers will take one space
and some several, and charts are be
ing drawn to show the exact allot
ment.
Floor exhibits will be arranged with
regard to their relation to each other
—that is. the allied products, like ma
chinery and wagons, will be on one
floor, and various edibles on another
Elevators will be installed to serve
the horde of visiting buyers and to
haul the exhibits up'and down.
The advantage to the local mer
chants and manufacturers, as one of
the committee pointed out, will be
that the Chamber of Commerce
Building will be a market place or
clearing house for all prospective
buyers of goods. Heretofore there
has been no central location where
people might go to see what is made
in Atlanta.
Old Buildings Destroyed.
Under direction of Building In
spector Ed R. Hays, through his as
sistant, C. J. Bowen, the pld build
ings at the northeast corner of
Whitehall street and Trinity avenue
are being torn down. These were
condemned some weeks ago following
the collapse of underpinning. The
structure on the corner is the proper
ty of James Anderson, of Marietta,
and the inside structure belongs to
Mrs. B. D Langford, of Gainesville.
Mrs. Langford has plans for a sub
stantial structure, but is waiting for
the Whitehall grade question to be
settled before proceeding.

BIG CROPS IN RUSSIA.
August Heavily Sold by Timid
Longs—Speculation Curtailed
by Threatened Legislation.
NEW YORK. July 26.—A bearish re-
port on Oklahoma and Texas from F M.
Cordlll and some rains In the Western
belt and prospects for more, the cotton
market opened active to-day and first
prices were at a net decline of 2 to
5 points from Friday’s close, with the
exception of July, which opened 2 points
higher. Later the market steadied a lit
tle through scattered covering This
class of buying, however, soon ex-,
hausted on further reports of rains in
Texas and private crop advices to the
effect that the crops were in excel
lent condition.
In addition to active selling by the lo
cal crow’d. there was selling by brokers
who usually represent the larger spot
houses. Some of those who bought yes-
terday bought on the decline but of
limited character. In many respects the
market was a repetition of that of
Thursday. July was w’eak but not’ so
extremely soft as August and new crop
positions. The break in August was
said to be due to a renewal of liquida
tion by timid longs, who did not like the
excellent weather and new crop advices.
There was a further weakness in spots
which also encouraged the bear raid
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net decline of 7 to 12
points from the final quotations of Fri
day.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
Special report to The Journal of
Commerce Indicates that the cotton
crop has Improved generally in Geor
gia, Alabama and Mississippi during the
past month. Season is two w’eeks late,
the plant small, but healthy and strong,
fruiting nicely; fields are well cultivated
and clean; boll weevils are numerous
In Mississippi Georgia condition shows
considerable Improvement over a month
ago, when It was 76.4 per cent. Pick
ing will begin about September 1st. Mis
sissippi condition has about held Its
own since last month, when it was 80
per cent. Dry, hot weather has pre
vented the Alabama crop from mak
ing any improvement for the month.
Picking will begin about the middle of
August.
• • •
Habersham King Issued an unfavor
able report on Texas and Oklahoma yes
terday. However. F. M. Cordlll made
nubile a circular just the opposite, say
ing the crops in Texas and Oklahoma
were nearly perfect, but rain is needed
to some extent.
• • •
It- is reported that a seat on the Cot
ton Exchange has been sold recently
for $12,000. This is a decline of $2,500
from the last previous sale. Early in
the year a sale was reported for $19,000
The decline is due to the plan to im
pose a tax on future contracts.

Sheffield. Ala., wired: “We have had
three days of showers and cloudy all
of the time- This Is the best we could
have hoped for. Conditions are splen
did.”
• • *
NEW ORLEANS, July 26— Hayward
Clark: “The weather map shows
cloudy over nearly the entire belt. Some
fine rains in Northwest Texas, North
Texas, Arkansas. Mississippi, Louisiana
and Alabama. Light showers over the
ntics, cooler In the West. Indi
cations are for partly cloudy to cloudy,
with more rain over Sunday, particu
larly in the Western half of the belt,
clearing in the Atlantlcs.”
* * •
Dallas wires: “Texas and Oklahoma
are generally clear.’’
• » •
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “Spinners’ takings for the week
were larger than expected and August
was befriended. For these reasons, yes
terday’s cotton market behaved very
nicely In the presence of rather general
rains, except in West Texas and West
Oklahoma, where cloudy weather was
reported.
“In the past very hot weather in the
West, when not continued too long
without rain, has left no serious Im
print on the size of the crop. Rains
are needed In the West now, and the
fact that the forecaster persistently
promises fair weather over that section
of the belt keeps some of the talent on
the anxious seat. But should good rains
come to the West in the near future, the
ig crop man would be in position to
exploit Dig crop views in a telling way.
‘As a matter of fact, August is now
so far below a spot parity that it seems
well able to take care of itself. Yes
terday notices of intention to deliver
300 on August were issued in Nev4
Orleans. This cotton was taken up by
July lorrgs, and represents the portion
left after the July tenders were culled.
At the moment, the local talent does
not know whether to expect further
tenders or an attempt to squeeze Aug
ust shorts. It is likely that the August
traders in the main are straddlers, and
that they are not operating with a view
of handling large lines of the actual
this month.”
