JULfSHITS ARE
BADLY SOUEEZED
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 confifsed
this morning and it was some time after
the market opened before local opinion
could adjust itself to the conflicting re
ports. First prices were unchanged to
6 points higher than last night’s close.
The strength of the market was at
tributed chiefly to high cables, due to
covering by shorts before the Bureau
report and dry weather in Texas.
The weather map, however, reflected
a bearish feeling generally, when pri
vate reports of Texas raina 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
close. Despite the favorable crop and
weather news, local traders who were
short of the market thought It best to
par month Can be reduce their commitments in anticipa
te muiiin. tion of the Government condition re-
>ort and Wall Street operators started
n to buying active new crop positions,
of October and December.

REAL ESTATE AND
CONSTRUCTION NEWS
in 1914 The prediction that Pitts
burg would be the lucky city next
year was confidently made by Charles
P. Glover before he left for Winnipeg
The race for the 1916 convention Is
now squarely between Atlanta and
Memphis, since Los Angeles will get
it In 1915, the exposition year, and a
Southern city will land it the year
following. 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 '15 convention, but
Mr. White replied that Atlanta was
also In the race.
Interesting Sales Made.
There was more of interest than the
above In Thursday's real estate news.
Among announcements was 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 a
client of the H. W. Dews Agency and
James H. Reynolds, of the Fincher
& Marriott Agency, thirty-six build
ing lots on Piedmont avenue and
Kusk avenue, for approximately $10,-
000. The new owner expects to im-

An Atlanta man. Charles P. Glover,
former president of the Atlanta Real
Estate Board, was elected Wednes-
dav vice president of the National
Association of Real Estate Exchanges
at the association’s concluding ses
sion of the sixth annual convention
at Winnipeg, 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, w hich 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-mlle trip through the wheat beH
of Canada as the guests of the Win-
niDeg board. . .
Mr. White conveyed the above in
formation on the action of the assoc |-
.atlon in a telegram Thursday to Jo-
*seph D. Greene, executive secretary
' of the Atlanta board. C. L. Simpson,
of Kansas City, Mo., was elected
president of the association to su^-
ceed Edward S. Judd, of Chicago and
Pittsburg was

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
consist of thirteen small house?. The
buy was for investment.
Subdivision Sales Total $32,380.
Twelve months ago the L. S. Hunt-
ley Company offered through George
P. Moure, 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 mere than the price ask^d. The
property fronts 430 feet on each road.
Thre*e lots in the point went to John
G. Burekhardt for $12,500 and were
resold to B. F. and Arthur Burdett
for $15,000
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 Bright well 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 offering this property for sale as
a subdivision Mr. Moon followed the
policj r 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

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 $301,649 last year. Mortgage loans
were less, attaining a total of $168,540
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 improvement in the
market.
Against Unsightly Buildings.
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
handsome 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 exist, and Andrew Gust has been
notified that he can put several such
establisnnientp on the north side of
Edgewood avenue between Ivy and
North Pryor streets. A dispute a? to
this arrargement arose when Mr. Gust
applied for permits at the Inspector's
office, and tire 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 meets the propo
sition of repaving East Alabama
street between Whitehall street and
Central avenue will be put before
them. A majority of property owners
and tenants have signed a petition for
vitrified brick paving.
According to Dr. E. L. Connally and
Frank P. Rice, the cobble stones on
Ea?»t 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.

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 marl et will do more than
oscillate w<thin a narrow range during
the remainder of the week, 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 wld show a slight Im
provement over the last one. Texas
may not make a good showing, but
Georgia should be better and the bell
in general has been improving during
the past four weeks. The Journal of
Commerce gave the percentage condi
tion of the orop as of July 23 at 81,
showing two-tenths of 1 point increase
for (he previous month. Texas. Okla
homa and Ix>u1slana were the only
States that showed losses.
As the session wore on July became
more active and by noon the trade wit
nessed the worst stampede of the year.
Shorts struggled like madmen for the
outgoing position, but offerings were
ight and scattered. When the sensa
tional advance began July stood at
11.86, after dropping from 12c, the early
igh 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. Although the range
was extremely wide at times, there
was "nothing between"
At the close the market was steady,
with August at 4 points advance and
new crop positions at a net decline of
2 to 4 points from the final quotations
of Wednesday.

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 25, was 81, as compared with &0.9 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 bo.l weevils,
while the drouth In Texas and Oklahoma
caused considerable apprehension, which
voc ected in lower estimates of per
centage.
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, hut 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
small, but 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
th the exception of Louisiana, where
boll weevils have appeared in large num
bers, the crop is very free from insects:.

CHICAGO. July 31.—There was a lit-
t’e ‘squeeze’’ of shorts in the July corn
future to-day and they bid the price
of that grain up from 65% to 69%, which
was yesterday’s closing. The other fea
tures of corn were only fractionally
higher—%c for May, about %c for De
cember and as much as %c for Septem
ber. There were some settlements made
of the July future privately, or the ad
vance would have been much greater
i an shown. A downstate man. a farm
er. was the leading long in the July fu
ture.
Wheat closed at a loss of %c for July,
which was selling at 1% under the Sep
tember, and which showed the weak po
sition of that grain at the moment.
September was unchanged to %c higher
Oats were off \c for July. %c for
September and %c for December, and
unchanged tor May. Profit-taking
caused the weak feeling late In the ses
sion.
Provisions were steady.

Corn opened uncharged; at 1:30 p. m.

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Sen
timent in wheat is extremely bearish,
and those who were in the pit all day
said they saw less hedging business
What corn will do from now <>n depends
largely upon weather This is the last
day of tra<ling 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 jegarded as mainly a
question as to who would start to even
Yip first Should holders stand out,
bears will not have an easy time in
evening up.”

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
