Citizens residing In the Rock Springs district, on Piedmont Ave nue, are expected to make announce ment soon of plans for an extension of the Piedmont avenue car line to Rock Springs or beyond. For some time a auiet effort has been made in this direction, and it Is believed that success will follow. "We have been keeping our move ments secret,” declared a leading property owner Monday, "but we hope to have a definite announcement soon. The route has been discussed and practically agreed on.” 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 and 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 Buckhead and Brookhaven line where Piedmont ave nue and Peachtree intersect. Sales at Courthouse Tuesday. Tuesday is legal sale day and the real estate men will gather in large numbers before the countv court house door. As usual, the sale starts at 10 o’clock. No large sales have been advertised, but some may be an nounced as a surprise. Forrest Si George Adair will offer No. Ill White hall Terrace, and the Greene Real- tv Company will put up a lot of the Gussi estate on Fraser street. Finishing Automobile Building. The building started some time ago on the site of the Henry Potts home at the southwest corner of Peachtree and Linden streets is now nearly complete, and announcement of a lease is expected soon. This building is for automobile purposes and i? one of the handsomest in the city. It will have a stone front and will com pare favorably with the Packard building at the northeast corner of Peachtree and North avenue and the Locomobile building at the northeast comer of Peachtree and Merritts ave nue. Tenants Move in Early. Although the Hurt Building is not j due to be formally opened before October 1, some of the tenants whose quarters will be finished will move in September 1. Certain leases expire elsewhere, and it is desired to take quarters in the Hurt Building one month earlier. Leases expiring Octo ber 1 will suit other tenants who will follow the pioneers at that time. Parts of the building wanted a month *»arly are being given special attention. Deed for Big Acreage Tract. A bond for title has been record ed transferring from Duncan Mac- Dougald to Mrs. Kate Green Hess 305.31 acres in land lot 178, for $20,- 000. The cash consideration was $14,- 000 and the price $105 an acre. Agents for Ponce DeLeon. The Ponce DeLeon Apartment®, sought as a prize worth having by local renting agents, has been award ed to the B. M. Grant agency. It was at first planned for the Fulton Properties Company, owners, to rent out the apartments and rooms, but this plan has been abandoned. >9 Well-known people figured in ap plications Saturday and Monday for permits to make building additions and changes. Among them were Colonel W. L. Peel, Mrs. R. R. Ar nold, Dr. John E. White and others. Small dwellings continue to go uo in considerable numbers. Permits have been sought bw W. D. Beatie and W. H. Hardman to build one-story structures on Allene avenue and Ar lington street, to cost $1,800 an 1 $1,650, respectively. Preparing for Floral Company. Preparations are being made for the Atlanta Floral Company to move from its present location on the east side of Peachtree at the foot of Wal ton street to 97 Peachtree, the Al- friend building.

Aug. 4— Active selling was in order at the opening of the cot ton market to-day an<f first prices ranged from unchanged to 6 points lower than Saturday’s final. lieavv rains were reported over central and western Texas, and the selling was based on this information. -Wall street led 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 somewhat light, owing to the holiday in Liverpool. Riordan was perhaps the largest sell er, selling about If,000 bales of January on the call. There was scattered buy ing after the call, which was said to be for certain spot Interests and Wall street, the latter was supposed to be short covering. The buying, however, failed to stimulate the market and ev ery position on the list increased their decline 1 to 8 points from the initial level. Later there was apparently a good demand on th© 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 3 points. xhe map indicates increasing cloudiness in Oklahoma, northwest Texas, western Arkansas and fair in southern fcalf of Texas, Central States and the Atlantic*, except unsettled in south Georgia and Florida 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 were gen erally 7 to 11 points lower than the final quotations of Saturday.

HAYWARD A CLARK’S D^ILY 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 and cooler weather lias come to that part of the belt which was threatened with deterioration from too much mois ture. Today’s indications are 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 nows 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 the critical crop month —August. With a better political feel ing in Europe, more Inquiry for fail, shipments is a probability. New York mentions covering of short lines near 11c on the bullish argument in Mr. Price’s circular. NEW ORLEANS COTTON. Ag.
