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.

Main 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- vowS th*^ convention prove this property and place the Will Atlanta Land Realty Convention, With 1,500 Guests? Selection of Chas. P. Glover as Vice President Causes Belief—Inter esting Sales Thursday. 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 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 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 nouncements. George \V Adair, who has been in Sco'land studying golf courts fo» 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- Intercsting 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 $301,649 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.

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.

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:.

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.

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.
