Claim That Tampa and Atlanta Will
Contest for 1916 Meet—County
Work Is Completed.
Charles P. Glover, Harris G. White
anrl Fitzhugh Knox have returned
from the sixth annual convention of
the National Association of Real Es
tate Exchanges at Winnipeg, with
glowing accounts of then rip and
confident predictions of success for
Atlanta in the fight for the 1916 con
vention.
“Memphis presented an invitation
to the delegates,” declared Mr. Glover,
"but I think the fight is going to be
between Atlant^ and Tampa. The
Florida city has put in a claim, and
many of the delegates will probably
take kindly to the idea of going to
Florida in ttie winter, but I think
that notwithstanding this Atlanta will
win.
"All of the delegates had heard a
great deal about Atlanta and those
who haven’t been here declared that
they were anxious to come. Thev
crowded around us to hear us talk
about the Gate City, and already we
have assurances of splendid support.
“Atlanta can get the convention
and its 1,000 delegates if she wants it.
That is, we are i little bit skeptical
about financing the meeting. Winni
peg spent $20,000 in entertainment,
and Pittsburg will spend $10,000. In
order to rai«e enough money, we mus;
get this matter properly before our
civic bodies. Every interest must
help. It Is a big thing and well
worth going after.”
“Mr. Glover made the distinct hit
of the convention," declared Mr.
White. “His speeches at Regina and
on the convention floor were very fa
vorably received. He is plenty big
enough for the presidency of the as
sociation. and I expect him to be
elected in due time.
“The Canadians have us beat here
In Atlanta when it comes to boosting
their products and their soil. I have
never seen anvthing like it. We can
take lessons from them, and I think
the Atlanta delegation did get some
pointers that will be of use in the fu
ture
“Atlanta realty values are not too
high by any means. Whv, in town®
of 30,000 people in Canada thev are
pricing residence property ut $200 to
$500 a foot, anticipating in the case
of the $500 a foot property that it
will soon be counted s^mi-central.”
Mr. Glover also declared that At
lanta. outside the narrow zone around
Five Points, is not too high in price.
Finishing Marietta Street.
Work was completed bv the county
convicts Monday on Marietta street
repaving and resurfacing from the
center of the city to the Uhattahoo-
chee river, this job having been start
ed some months a<ro. Smooth paving
is now encountered the entire length
of the thoroughfare in Fulton County,
and the street is one of the best in
this sectino.
Shelby Smith, chairman of the
County Commissioners, declared that
work would sterted at once resur
facing ar.d oiling the Howell Mill road
from the Seaboard railroad ,to the
Southern bridge, and that * Brady
street would he resurfaced from Ma
rietta street to Tenth, and extended
from Tenth to the Howell Mill road
through the stockyards. This latter
improvement is made to pave the way
for the Howell Mill road car line,
which has been assured by the Geor
gia Railway and Power Company.

Better Monev Conditions.
J. H. Ewing, member of the real
estate firm of Smith A E'-ing. re
turned Sunday night from New York
and Washington Mr. Ewing reports
genera.] good feeling over the offer of
Treasury money to help move South
ern and Western crops, and savs the
general imprp?dp n in the East is that
this monev will help the South more
than the West. He declared that in a
mon f h or 60 da vs financial condition:?
in Atlanta would return to normal
and that there would be plenty of
money for all purposes.

Elevator Service Extension.
People who have watched the evo
lution of buildings in Atlanta have,
noted with a good deal of interest
the gradual increase in elevator fa
cilities in the skyscrapers. From the
single elevator in the old day a has
sprung the sextuple system of the
present day.
Skyscraper officials flgure that one
elevator per three floors is about the
right proportion. Office buildings
with eighteen stories have six. and
the structures of the future with 24
will have eight. The Healey Build
ing will contain six elevators, part of
which will be express* and part local
cars, as usual.

Early Dry Map Causes Advance,
but Promise of Rain Pro
motes Active Selling.
NEW YORK. Aug. 11.—As the ex
pected rains over Texas and Okla
homa failed to materialize Sunday
and Liverpool cables were better than
had been expected, the cotton market
opened steady to-day with the entire
list at a net advance of 8 to 12 points
from Saturday’s final.
The upward trend of prices was due
entirely to the weather.
Official weather records showed that
splendid rains fell over Sunday In
Arkansas, and a few showers pre
vailed over the southern half of
Texas. This, coupled with a rather
bearish circular of Habersham King
on the week’s development of the
crop, which stated that while tem
peratures were above normal anu pre
cipitation being below an unfavorable
combination, conditions which pre
ceded render it temporarily a favor
able combination as to 85 per cent ot
the belt, leaving it Injurious as to the
dry portion of Texas and Olahoma,
and contributing tin* remaining la
per cent, which is the only section
now suffering for rain, resulted »n
an active selling movement gener
ally, and prices shaded sharply, drop
ping 4 to 9 points from the initial
level.
Local weather expert's predictions for
rain In the next few days ar.d the Gov
ernment’s forecast for showers in Ar
kansas and unsettled weather in Okla
homa, caused the market to sell off.
Later the noon weather posted show
ing temperatures In the western belt for
yesterday in many places ranging from
100 to 106, in Oklahoma principally,
caused buying and a few points' rally
followed.
Texas was not so warm, hut had lit
tle or no rain, only 2 points showing
rainfall, which was 1-100 of an inch and
2-100 of an inch. With continued dry
weather for the next few days, the tem
per of the ring indicates that a good
rally would follow
On the other hand, the bearish ele
ment is Just waiting for signs of rain
to sell on. It is believed that the
weekly weather report to-morrow will he
bullish, and the crowd seems to be wait
ing its publication before taking any
definite stand. Turner’s report, issued
this morning, was bearish on conditions,
with the exception of Oklahoma, where
the temperatures have ranged too high.
The course of the m irket for the next
few days depends entirely on the weath
er. which must he watched closely.
At the close the market was steady,
with prices showing irregularity, be
ing 9 points higher to 5 «»ints lower
than the final quotations of Saturday.

Upward Trend Due to Improved j
Foreign Situation—Union Pa-
c.fic-Steel Attractive.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. Aug. 11.—Texas (Y>m-
panv was again bullishly prominent
at the opening of the stock market
to-day, advancing 2 1-4 points to 116
1-4. The copper group was about the
weakest, although Mexican Petroleum
lost 1 point. Canadian Pacific ad
vanced 1 point on foreign buying,
due evidently to the belief that peuet
has at last been restored in the Bal
kans, with the resultant quietus on
war talk In Europe.
Among the losses were Amalga
mated Copper 1-2; Steel common,
3-8; American Can 1-4; Chino Cop
per. 5-8: Erie. 3-8; Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas, 1-4: Republic Iron and
Steel, 1-4; Reading, 1-8; Union Pa
cific, 1-2
Union Pacific recovered its loss and
made a slight gain. At the end of
half an hour a firm tone prevailed
Atchison advanced 1-4, while Wa
bash. Missouri Pacific and Norfolk
and Western gained fractionally.
The curb was steady.
Americans in London were dull and
moved in a narrow range pending
Mexican developments. In Wall
Street no perturbation was felt over a
possible break between Mexico and
the UnPed States.
In the late forenoon, the tone con
tinued firm, and many of the leading
railroads and industrials made fractional
ga*ns over the Initial figures Steel com
rnon was In brisk demand, moving up
to 62. while similar gains were noted
in American Can common. Reading.

Immediately after the announcement
of ihe terms of the subscription to
Southern Pacific certificates. Southern
Pacific declined 1% to 91%, Its high
price in the early trading The stock
was back to 92% in the next few min
utes. however, and there was indication
of hanking accumulation The rest of
the list displayed a strong tone.
Union Pacific was heavy in the last
hour, selling under 91 1-2 for a n **
loss of about a point. The list had in
irregular appearance, hut the tone
was firm. Erie massed 29 on an up
ward movement for a fractional p-ain
over the midday level. Reading \va«
steady. Canadian Pacific and Amal
gamated Copper were h! her. Ste 1
moved slightly and showed little
change. New York, New Haven and

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 11.—Rain de
velopments over the western States are
a little slow, only light showers falling
in scattered localities, but it is cloudy
everywhere, and it looks now as if pre
cipitation were only a question of a
few days. Good rains fell over Sunday
in Arkansas and North Louisiana; and
scattered showers In the rest of the
belt.
Liverpool came In about 3 points bet
ter than due on futures and quoted spots
5 points lower: sales 7.090 hales. This
market opened 5 points higher, but
eased off when official records showed
big general rains in Arkansas over Sun
day and predicted unsettled weather
for Oklahoma It is a waitlrg market,
with an unsatisfactory undertone.
To-morrow’s weekly weather report is
expected unfavorable for the western
States, and there Is some demand by
scalpers on this account

Bartlett R Frazier Co. says: “Wheat

dull market as outside trade % light.
“Corn Since Saturde) »Let have
been fair rams in Iowa, Nebraska and
north Illinois, but so far no reports of
rain have reached us from Kansas or
the Southwest. We look for a nervous
market and there will doubtless be more
or less scattered liquidation this morn

‘Mats—Cash demand is quiet, but of

be bought on any further break.”

"Think wheat and corn is a purchase
Just now.” remarked Chapman, of Bart

We understand there is a cable here
reporting three days of frost In Argen
tina The wheat crop in Northern Ar

while In the Southern fields much Is
yet to seed. Uniter these conditions
we take no stock In any theory of frost

Spot people broke the market Satur
day by unloading heavily. Springs sold
to Hubbard and the local crowd sold.
Soon afterwards Cone came in and sold
10,000 October, December and January,
starting for 1105 for December, and
this was the signal for Hicks, Jr.,
Schill and the ring generally to sell.
Stop orders were reached at 10 85 for
January, and that mont: ,ad a fainting
spell and dropped to 10.81. The decline
was stopped by week-end short cover
ing and a certain amount of trade buy
ing around 11c for October.

DRY GOODS BUSINESS
STILL AT HIGH LEVEL
CHICAGO Aug. It.—Marshall Field
& Co. in a weekly review of the dry
goods trade say:
As Judged by the shipments of mer
chandise for fall and for Immediate use,
the dry goods business of the week com
pares favorably with that of the same
period a year ago.
Buyers in the market from certain
sections where hot weather Is thought
to have hurt corn are optimistic over
the crop situation as a whole, as earlier
crops already harvested offset somewhat
present unfavorable prospects for later
crops.
Collections remain normal.
Salesmen on the road are beginning to
send in orders for laces and embroid
eries for Spring delivery Handkerchief
lines for holiday selling are also getting
considerable attention Drapery fabrics
are in great demand in anticipation of
the fall decorating season.
