Manitoba. Canada. Mr. Glover's election has been taken in Atlanta to indicate that Atlanta will land the association's ninth conven tion in 1916. which gathering is also 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 nipeg board. Mr. White conveyed the above in formation on the action of the associ ation in a telegram Thursday to Jo seph D. Greene, executive secretary of the Atlanta board. C. L. Simpson of Kansas City.

A bar gain. in 1914 'The prediction that Pitts burg would be the lucky city next year was confidently made by Charles P.

Mr. Glover’s election i» taken locally as practically an in dorsement of Atlanta by the visiting delegations. There are usually 1,000 to 1,500 del egates at the conventions of the Na tional Association of Real Estate Ex changes, and Atlanta will offer every 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. Among announcements waa that of 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. George B. Gatling has sold to client of the H. W. Dews Agency and .Tames H. Reynolds, of the Fincher & Marriott Agency, thirty-six build ing lots on Piedmont avenue and Kuek avenue, for approximately $10.- ooo. The new owner expects to im prove this property and place the same on the market on easy terms. The Forrest and George Adair Agency reports the same of an 85 by 607 foot lot on Railroad and New streets for $7,000, the buyer being 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. Riley for $2,500. All of these run through from Roswell road to Peach tree road. Two lots, single frontage and be ing the last lots on Peachtree road, were sold to Roy Brightwell for $3,150. and one lot on Roswell road to Mrs. Cora P. M. Scott for $1,500. The next lot, being the last one on Roswell road, was sold to Mrs. Manson and Mrs. Wright for $1,800. 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. Return of Financiers. Asa G. Candler will arrive in New York from Europe in a week and will return at once to Atlanta, where he Is expected to re-enter the local real estate market with interesting an nouncements. George W. Adair, who has been in Scotland studying golf courts for the members of the Druid Hills green, is on his way home from New York. Mr. Adair is one of the country's leading golf experts, and will put som° interesting touches on the Druid Hills course. The clubhouse, by the way, will cost between $50,000 and $75,000. Substantial Realty Gains. A compilation of figures by The Fulton County Daily Report for the thirtieth week of 1913. with the same week in 1912, shows some interesting gains. There were 214 realty trans fers, totaling $412,386, as against 157 and $301,643 last year. Mortgage loans were less, attaining a total of $468,540. as against $223,277 in 1912. further more. cancellations gained, with 54 and $119,333. as against 39 and $64,- 865. All these figures, say the realty men. show a decided improvepieht in the market. 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. Correction of Error. In an a< count In Wednesday’s Geor gian of the Installation of a renting denar#nent by a local real stats agency, the wrong firm name was used due to typographical errors. The firm was Hurt Cone, who have of fices in the Empire Life Building.

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 follows: 12.00. 11.88. 11.90. 12 00. 12.03. 12.12. 12.13. 12.14. 12.20, 12.25. 12.20, 12.00. 12.20, 12.25. 12.20.

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.

The New York Journal of Commerce’s percentage condition of cotton, as com 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 rfmall, hut almost universally strong, 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.

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. bears will not have an easy time In evening up." • • • Chicago. 80. light rain; Minneapolis, 70. partly cloudy, heavy rain last night; Springfield, 85, cloudy, no rain; Terre Haute, S3, cloudy, good shower; Peoria. 85, cloudy, no rain.

Wheat—N. 2 red 84 (g/85% Corn—No. 2 67% Oats—No. 2 37% ® 40% 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. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. Grain quotations: High. Low.
