Rock Springs is just a few hun
dred yards north of the city limits on
Piedmont avenue, and people living
there point to the suburban lines
around Atlanta in contending that
they should have a line. There are
two plans for the line—to have it
continue from its terminus on Pied
mont avenue at Ansley Park, and to
turn into Ansley Park aud proceed
thence to Rock Springs.
Landowners declare that the line
must not only be extended to Rock
Springs, but that it must eventually
connect with the Buckliead and

.\EW YORK, Aug. 4.—Active selling
was in order at the opet^ng of the cot
ton market to-day and first prices
ranged from unchanged to 6 points
lower than Saturday’s final. Heavy
rains were reported over central and
western Texas, and the selling was
based on this information. Wall street
ed the selling movement and new low
levels were recorded for the present
movement, with January dropping under
the 11c level and other positions touch
ing 11c.
Business Was lomewhat light, owing
to the holiday In Liverpool.
Riordan was perhaps the largest sell
er, selling about 16,000 bales of January
on the call. There was scattered buy
ing after the call, which was said to he
for certain spot Interests and Wall
street, the latter was supposed to be
short covering. The buying, however,
railed to stimulate the market and ev
ery position on the list increased their
decline 1 to 8 points from the initial
l*vel. Later there was apparently a
good demand on the declne, resulting in
prices retrieving a portion of the early
decline, but remained 4#8 points under
the previous close, during the forenoon
with the exception of August, which
rallied 8 points.

in Oklahoma, northwest Texas, western

The feature of the market during the
afternoon session was the strength of
August. Spot houses Were aggressive
buyers of this option, resulting in a rap
id advance of about 10 points. Other
positions were under active selling and
prices were maintained around the early
low level. The market closed steady
with August at a net advance of 8
points, while other positions wore gen

By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—Copper shares
were the most prominent in the trading
at the opening of the stock market to
day. Amalgamated Cooper began *4
higher and Utah Copper was up %, but
later both receded.
The undertone was s'eadv, but there
was little in the news to influence the
market trend. Among me advances
were American Cotton Oil. %; Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, *4; Erie, %; Norfolk and
Western, %; Pennsylvania, *4; People's
Gas >4, and Reading >4.
At the end of hair an hour nearly all
Issues had shaded. United States Steel
common lost Vh and Union Pacific was
off V
New Haven, after opening unchanged,
receded 14. The Harrimans were heavy.
The curb was dull.
This being a bank holiday there w&s
no session of the London Stock Ex
change.
In the late forenoon trading was ex
tremely dull. The tone was firm, how
ever, and It was apparent that there
were many buying orders under the
market, reflecting in part a disposition
to cover shorts. Pronounced strength
developed in American Cotton Oil,
which moved up a point to 42%. Price
movements in the rest of the list were
in the shape of fractional gains.
Coll money is loaning and renewing at
2V4 per cent.

"Corn—According to reports thus far

The market is heavily long, and if is
natural to suppose that the short inter
est lias been reduced. We certainly
would be careful on the buying side, for
it is quite possible in a market of such
proportions that should a reaction occur
it might be a violent one.
"Oats—We believe In ultimately high

follow such a sharp advance as h
taken place recently.

for some setbacks.”

HAYWARD A CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 4.—The most
Important development over Sunday is
that there was much rainfall in the Cen
tral and Southern States and that clear
ing apd cooler weather has come to that
part of the belt which was threatened
with deterioration from too much mois
ture. Today's indications art* for in
creasing cloudiness in the Northwestern
quarter and probably showers in south
Georgia and Florida. Generally fair ev
erywhere else moderate temperatures.
Liverpool Is closed to-day and will
open to-morrow. Political news from
crops Is more cheerful. Peace negotia
tions are apparently more definite this
time.
Our market eased in the early trading
to 11.11 for October, but there was a
rather strong demand for contracts,
which soon steadied prices. Eleven
cents seems to be considered the point
Of resistance for Ihe critical crop month
—August. With a better political feel
ing in Europe, more inquiry for fall,
shipments is a probability.
New York mentions covering of short
lines near lie on the bullish argument
in Mr. Price’s circular.

MILLER-COTTER COTTON LETTER.
MEMPHIS, Aug. 4.—Following the
early break on Texas ralrts, the market
has been slow with business light. Spe
cial telegraphic reports to our bureau
show thut the northern two-thirds of
central Texas has had rain sufficient to
stay deterioration and set the crop to
growing. The south is still dry, but
there has never been a year when some
part of the State was not dry. With
fair weather in the Atlantlcs condi
tions are ideal, and though the market
may temporarily remain steady at 11c,
we expect lower prices.
