sought by Memphis.
Harris G. White, president of the
Atlanta board, presented an invitation
from Atlanta and the thousand dele
gates cheered. At the conclusion of
the convention the Atlanta delegation
and the other delegates left on a
1,000-mile trip through the wheat belt
of Canada as the guests of the Win

now squarely between Atlanta and

it in 1915, the exposition year, and a

following. Mr. Glover’s election i»

There are usually 1,000 to 1,500 del

inducement. Last year, it will be re
called, the. delegates wanted to give
the convention to Atlanta, but the
local real estate men were not ready
for it. A few days ago President
White received a letter asking the
support for Memphis of the Atlanta
delegation to the ’16 convention, but
Mr. White replied that Atlanta was
also in the race.
Interesting Sale* Made.
There was more of interest than the
above in Thursday's real estate news.

the sale of thirty-six building lots on
Piedmont avenue and of thirteen
small houses. Also the last sales in
a $32,380 subdivision at Buckhead.

The Forrest and George Adair

607 foot lot on Railroad and New

H. Rosenthal and the seller D. Gold
man, of Gainesville. Improvements j
consist of thirteen small houses. The ;
buy was for investment.
Subdivision Sales Total $32,380.
Twelve months ago the L. S. Hunt-
ley Company offered through George
P. Moore, the well-known real estate
agent a triangular strip of property
at Buckhead, lying between Peach
tree and Roswell roads, for $20,000,
and found no takers. A subdivision
was decided on and the last sales
in it make a total of $32,380, exactly
$12,380 more than the price asked. The
property fronts 430 feet on each road.
Three lots in the point went to John
G. Burckhardt for $12,500 and were
resold to B. F. and Arthur Burdett
for $16,000.
The next three lots were sold to
J, L. Riley for $5,050. The next three
lots to the Fulton Finance Company
for $3,380, and the next two to J. L.

There has been a great deal # of
activity in and around Buckhead and
all of the purchaser of the lots have
bought with the expectation of mak
ing a profit, and if developments
come that are looked for, expect to
improve the lots.
In ottering this property for sale as
a subdivision Mr. Moon followed the
policy to go after acreage, and found
that a great many people in town
were interested in acreage and prop
erty on Roswell road.

Against Unsightly Buildir%gs. ,
Building Inspector Ed R. Hays, in
attempting to carry out features o*
the local building code, has insisted
that portable buildings should not be
allowed in the fire limits, and espe
cially close to the street and near
hdndwme edifices, since they tended
to mar the pleasing effect of the more
Important structures. An opinion of
City Attorney James L. Mayson. how
ever. gives such structures the right
to °xist, and Andrew Gust has been
notified that he can put several such
establishments on the north side of
Edgewood avenue between Ity and
North Pryor streets. A dispute as to
this arrangement arose when Mr. Gusi
applied for permits at the Inspector’s
office, and the city attorney was con
sulted on this feature of the building
code. Mr. Gust has leased certain
property for the purpose from Joel
Hurt.
Alabama Street Paving.
As soon as the Streets Committee
of the City Council mMs the propo
sition of repaving East Alabama
street between Whitehall street and
Central avenue will be put before
them. A majority of property owner*
and tenants have signed a petition for
.vitrified brick paving.
'Xcoording to Dr. E. L. Connallj’ and
Frank P. Rice, the cobble stones on
EaK Alabama were the first, to be
laid in Atlanta, and they have never
been touched since. They are the only
cobble stones now remaining between
Mitchell street on the south and the
Candler Building on the north.

BADLY SQUEEZED
Amid Scenes of Excitement July
Jumps to 12.25—New Crops
Easy With Narrow Range.
NEW YORK,. July 31.—So many crop
and weather reports were at hand that
cotton trade was more or less confused
this morning and It was some time after
the market opened before local opinion
could adjust Itself to the conflicting re
ports. First prices w r ere unchanged to
6 points higher than last night’s close.
The strength of the market was at
tribut'd chiefly to high cables, due to
covering by shorts before the Bureau
report ahd dry weather in Texas.
The weather map, however, reflected
a bearish feeling generally, when pri
vate reports of Texas rains encouraged
an active selling movement, resulting in
prices declining some 1 to 6 points from
the initial level. Later a sudden buy
ing wave, led by local shorts and the
larger spot houses, gave the market a
steady tone.
July was a strong feature. It sold as
high as 12c before noon, aggregating a
net gain of 21 points from the previous
clone Despite the favorable crop and
weather news, local traders who were
short of the market thought It best to
reduce their commitments In anticipa
tion of the Government condition re
port and Wall Street operators started
In to buying active new’ crop positions,
chiefly of October and December.
The trade was given a shock when
a certain broker, representing the
largest spot houses here, said he ex
pected to see October go to 11.50 before
to-morrow night. It is not likely, how
ever. that the. market will do more than
oscillate within a narrow range during
the remainder of the w'eek, owing to the
Government report, due Friday, which
will be one of the most important of the
season. It is generally expected that on
the average it will show a slight im
provement over the last one. Texas
may not make a good showing, but
Georgia should be better and the belt
In general has been Improving during
the past four weeks. The Journal of
Commerce gave the percentage condi
tion of the crop as of July 23 at 81.
showing two-tenths of 1 point increase
for the previous month. Texas. Okla
homa and Louisiana were the only
States that showed losses.
As the session wore on July became
more active and by noon the trade wit
nessed the w'orst stampede of the year
Shorts struggled like madmen for the
outgoing position, but offerings were
light and scattered. When the sensa
tional advance began July stood at
11.86, after dropping from 12c, the early
high point. The next quotation was
back to 12c From then on until the
option closed out, quotations were as

The New Orleans Times-Democra*
says: “The American contract market
is being liquidated gradually and the in- i
terest Is becoming smaller and smaller.
Consumers are buying ahead in volume
of moment, consequently hedge trading
is on the minimum scale. The Clarke
stamp tax proposal haa become a veri
table nightmare to the underwriter, and
he now' prefers to look on. no matter
what the crop prospects may seem to he.
In other words, there is now a greater
incentive to let the market alone than
there is to shoulder responsibility
Meanwhile, continued dry weather over
the heavy producing sections of Texas
is undoubtedly doing some damage to
the cotton crop there. But plenty of
moisture east of the Mississippi has
caused both talent and trade to believe
that rapid progress toward a very large
yield Is being made Recent reports
from the Carol in as, Georgia and Ala
bama have reflected increasing opti
mism. in spite of the presence of the
boll weevil in Alabama.’

piled from 1,972 replies of special cor
respondents, bearing on average date of
July 2f>, was 81, as compared with 80.9 a
month ago, 77.7 a year ago, and 86.9 in
1911. The change for the month was
only .2 of a point for the better. The
ten-year average is 79.4.
Gains were general in nearly all
States, Louisiana, Texas and Oklahoma
being the only ones to show losses.
Louisiana was infested with boll weevils,
while the drouth In Texas and Oklahoma
caused considerable apprehension, which
ected in lower estimates of per
centag*.
the drouth became somewhat
persistent in Texas and Oklahoma, the
prospects for a decided improvement
throughout the belt were very promis
ing. Texas is very spotted, but there
were enough dry spots badly needing
rain to pull down the average Showers
in the near future would, however,
counteract the damage. The plant is

healthy and well fruited. Fields are
clean and well cultivated. Though the
crop is still two weeks late, in many
sections cotton is generally growing fast
With the exception of Louisiana, where
boll w'eevlls have appeared in large num
bers, the crop is very free from insects.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “Sen
timent in wheat is extremely bearish,
and those who were in the pit all day
hhId they saw less hedging business.
What corn will do from now on depends
largely upon weather This is the last
day of trading in July corn. It would
not be a surprise to see it go to lc
premium or more over September.
There Is said to be a good-sized open
interest, with one or two large traders
short It was regarded as mainly a
question ns to who would start to even
up first Should holders stand out.

B. W. Snow says the reason for the
sudden collapse of corn prospects under
the influence of only a few' consecutive
days of high temperature is found in
the lack of seasonal moisture and con
sequent absence of sub-surface moisture
supply. The records of the Weather Bu
reau show rainfall this season, com
pared with normal at typical belt sta
tions: Keokuk. Iowa, 76 per cent; Han

To-day’s map and forecast are dis
tinctly unfavorable so far as rain is
concerned. In the corn belt only two
good rains reported. Springfield, Mo.,
and Cairo, Ill., both evidently local
thundershowers anB both in unimport
ant corn territory. The situation is so
bad, with no old moisture In the ground,
(hat nothing but general soaking rains
will prevent continued deterioration and
nothing will restore the corn already
lost The weather forecast promises
fair weather for the next three days,
so there seems no likelihood of relief.

Bartlett, Frazier A Co. say "Wheat —
Sentiment continues generally bearish
and outside buying limited
"Corn—Market will probably be nerv
ous and an attempt may be made to
break prices, but on the whole we
should say corn belt has received very
little relief
"Oats—We feel friendly to the mar
ket on all good recessions.
"Provisions —The easier tone to the

CHICAGO, July 31.—Month-end buy
ing by belated short* in July corn
brought about an advance of %c in ihat
future at the opening to-day. The more
distant futures, however, showed net.
declines of %c to %c in the same space
of time The predicted rains came in
many sections of the corn belt, good
downpours being reported in Missouri
and Southern Illinois. Other corn-pro
ducing sections also were reported as
visited by rain. Argentine shipments
of corn were not as large as looked for
at 5,tOO,000 bushels, but this amount
proved considerably in excess of both a
week ago and a year ago. The market
at Liverpool showed little life at un
changed prices
Conditions surrounding the wheat
market at the opening were bearish and
options sold lower in consequence. Liv
erpool wheat was %d lower because
of the weaker American cables of yes
terday, coupled with fine weather in the
United Kingdom and a lack of specula
tive demand In that market North
western receipts were placed at 105 cars
and Winnipeg at 78 cars Weather In
our own Northwest was favorable and
warmer and clearer weather in the Can
adian Northwest is expected to help
wheat
Oats followed the trend of the other
markets, selling %c to %c lower at the
opening.
The break of 5c in hog prices, with the
weakness displayed by the various
grains, was responsible for a lower mar
ket In the provision pit.
