Effect of Glover Election.
Real estate men heard discussing
the election of Charles P. Glover to
the vice-presidency of the National
Association of Real Estate Exchange/

Glover’s elevation was a providential
thing in that it would probably result
in bringing the realty men to Atlanta
in 1916.
It has been pointed out that Mr.
Glover will be in line for the presi
dency next year and that he u 111 be
complimented by the delegates in the
above manner. Several loval real es

BULLISH REPORT
U. S. Figures Were Very Surpris
ing and Drives Shorts to Cover
Despite Texas Rains.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.—On the strength
of cables, the cotton market opened
steady to-day, with first prices at a net
advance of 2 to 5 points from last night’s
close, and was sustained in the early
trading by scattered covering ahead of
the Government report, due at noon.
From many sections of Texas showers
were reported and it was colder, with
Indications pointing for more rains with
in the next forty-eight hours. However,
the market remained very steady, with
trading very light. There was no fea
ture of importance
During the forenoon shorts became
heavy buyers; also some of the larger
spot interests, resulting in August ad
vancing 10 points to 11.65, while other
position* increased their early gain 1 to
3 points.
The Government Hashed its July con
dition report promptly at noon, giving
percentage of the condition of the grow
ing crop at 79.6 per cent, as compared
with 81.8 a month ago. and 76.5 per cent
for July in 1912. Tl\e report was con
strued as bullish, being considerably
under expectations, which indicates that
the people have been fooled on account
of the cleanness of this crop, and it will
require perfect seasons from now on to
make the large yield required. New
croj) positions were under heavy de
mand from strong sources. October,
December and January were the strong
est options on the list. New crop ad
vanced 10 to 12 points from the opening
within fifteen minutes after the report
was published. August held steady
around 11.80. Offerings were light and
scattered.
Following are l p. m. bids In New
York: August, 11.78; October, 11.31;
January, 11.29; December, 11.29; March,
11.29.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “Professional belief that to-day's
Bureau will show a crop condition de
terioration of about one full point under
last month's figure held the general mar
ket steady, but unofficial weather map
readings, indicating near future rains
over the long dry' area in the West, im
pelled some desire to sell fall deliveries.
However, an official forecast of fair
weather in Texas checked bearish im
pulses. The July option passed into his
tory at New York. The New Orleans
position was well liquidated long before
the end Two or three trailers remained
in at New York and the death throes
of the position there were rather excit
ing, the price ranging as low as 11.90
and as high as 12.25, with swings of 25
points between final trades.”

By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Aug. r. —The response to
the news that the Government is pre

opening of the stock market to-day as
had been expected. Gains ranging from

important issues, but part of thes? ad

CHICAGO, Aug 1.—The wheat mar
ket at Chicago enjoyed upturns of %0
% at the opening this morning. Re
ports from our own Northwest were of
a favorable character, but these were
lost sight of by r the trade, who seemed
to have oversold the market and were*
endeavoring to veer matters around into
healthier channels. Futures at Liver
pool were reported as higher, while spot
wheat in that market was %d@ld
higher. Yesterday's easier American
cables and favorable crop reports were
offset in the Liverpool market by ex
pected lighter world s shipments and a
better call from the Continent. While
harvesting on the Continent is well un
der way. offerings of new wheat were
reported as light Northwestern re
ceipts were light, but exceeded those of
th© same day last year.
Further and pronounced strength was
displayed by corn at the opening to-day
on a good demand for this cereal.
While light rains were reported in a
few sections they were in all cases In
adequate and in unimportant corn ter
ritory.
Oats followed corn, but poor thresh
ing returns also proved a factor of
strength fn this market
Provisions ruled higher in the pit with
the strength in corn and the higher hog
market.

STOCK GOSSIP
G. D. Potter, of N. L. Carpenter &
Co., says: “I think we will have a good
trading market for the next week with
an upward tendency in prices. Would
buy stocks on any fair recession, pre
ferring active issues like Union Pacific,
Copper and Steel. Hear rumor that
there may be a decision handed down
against Reading within the next few
days, but would buy this issue on any
break, as a decision against the compa
ny would mean segregation and ulti
mately higher prices."

The New York Financial Bureau says:
"Information channels favor profit-tak
ing. Sentiment in well informed quar
ters continues conservatively hopeful,
and under all the circumstances would
look for buying opportunities in tlhe
stocks well protected by earnings, with
the intention to secure moderate prof
its.”

United States Steel unfilled tonnage

Pennsylvania system's June earnings
net $1,252,000 less than June, 1912. Six
months net aggregate $4,026,000 decrease
from the same period during 1912.
• • •
The market is inclined to be quiet with
a sagging tendency, due more to dull
ness than other causes. The reports of
damage to the corn crop are making
many people hesitate about making new
commitments, but believe we will find
these have been largely exaggerated.
The short interest is being encouraged
and has been increased this week. On
any decided weakness we are of the
opinion that stocks are a purchase.
