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. Listing of Bui'ding.

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. To Build 814 000 Home. J. M. B.

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.

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.

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.
