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 days* has
sprung the sextuple system of the
present day.
Skyscraper officials figure 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.
Planning Apartment for Currier St.
Currier street is to have a hand
some new apartment house. The
plans are not out yet, but Mrs. Flora
Sfedley has picked out the lot and

Clairfi That Tampa and Atlanta Will
Contest for 1916 Meet—County
Work Is Cpmpleted.
Charles P. Glover. Harris G. White
i and Fitzhugti Knox have returned
from the sixth annual convention of
i the National Association of Real Es-
j tate Exchanges at Winnipeg, with
glowing accounts of then rip and
j confident predictions of success for
Atlanta in the fight for the 1916 con
vention
"Memphis presented an invitation
( to the delegates,’’ declared Mr. Glover,
j but I think the fight is going to be
' between Atlanta and Tampa. The
1 Florida city has put in a claim, and
many of the delegates will probably
take kindly to .the idea of going to
Florida ir. the 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 eome. 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 a little bit skeptical
about financing the meeting. Winni
peg spent $20,000 in entertainment,
and Pittsburg will spend $10,000. In
order to raDe enough money, we mus,
get this matter properly before our
civic bodies. Every interest musl
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 i< comes to boosting
their products and their soil. I have
never seen anything 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. Why, ifr town'
of 30,000 people in Canada thev are
pricing residence property »»t $200 to
$500 a foot, anticipating in the case
of the $500 a foot property that it
will soon be counted semi-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 by the county
convicts Monday on Marietta street
repaving and resurfacing from the
center of the city to the Chattahoo
chee river. this Job having been start
ed some months ago. Smooth paving
is now encountered the entire length
of the thoroughfare in Fulton Countv.
and the street is one of the best in
this sectino.
Shelby Smith, chairman of the
County Commissioners, declared that
work would be started at once resur
facing and oiling the Howell Mill road
from the Seaboard railroad to the
Southern bridge, and that Brady
street would be 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 ling
which has been assured by the Geor
gia Railway and Power Company.
Listing of Building.
The Potts automobile building at
the southwest corner of Peachtree
and Linden streets has been listed
with the Forrest <*• George Adair
Real Estate Agency for leasing. This
is a two-story concrete structure in
tended for automobile purposes, and
is one of the handsomest on "auto
mobile row.”
Better Money Conditions.
J. H. Ewing, member of the real
estate firm of Smith & Ewing, re
turned^ Sunday night from New York
and Washington. Mr. Ewing reports
general good feeling over the offer of
Treasury money to help move South
ern and Western crops, and savs tlu
general impression in the East is that
this monu- will help the South more
than the West. He declared that in a
month or 60 days financial conditions
in Atlanta would return to normal
and that there would be plenty of
money for all purposes.

Early Dry Map Causes Advance,
but Promise of Rain Pro
motes Active Selling.
NEW YORK. Aug. 11.—As the ex
pected rains over Texas ami 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 ana pre
cipitation being below an unfavorable
combination, conditions which pre
ceded render it temporarily a iavor-
able combination as to 85 per cent ot
the belt, leaving it injurious as to the
dry portion of Texas and Olahoma,
and contributing the remaining 15
per cent, w hich is the only section
now* suffering for raiu, rt suited in
an active selling m'vement gener
ally, and prices shaded sharply, drop
ping 4 tc 9 points from the initial
level.
Local weather expert's predictions for
rain in the next few days and 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 w’estern belt for
yesterday in many places ranging from
100 to ‘ 106. in Ok.ahoma principally,
caused buying and a few* points’ rally
followed.
Texas was not so warm, but had lit
tle or no rain, only 2 points showMng
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
w’eekly weather report to-morrow will be
bullish, and the crowd seems to be wait
ing its publication before taking any
definite stand. Turner’s report. Issued
this mornirg, was bearish on conditions,
with the exception of Oklahoma, where
the temperatures have ranged too high.
The course of the m irjtet for the next
few days depends entirely on the weath
er, which must be watched closely.
At the close the market was steady,
with prices showing irregularity, be
ing 9 points higher to 5 olnts lower
than the final quotations of Saturday.

BUT (SOLO FIRM
Upward Trend Due to Improved
Foreign Situation—Union Pa
cific-Steel Attractive.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Texas Com
pany was again bulllshly prominent
at the opening of the stock market
to-day, advancing 2 1-4 points to 116
1-4. The copper group was about tht
weakest, although Mexican Petroleum
lost 1 point. Canadian Pacific ad
vanced 1 point on foreign buying,
due eviden’lv to the belief that peace
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 recoyered 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.
Th^ curb was steady.
Americans in London were dull and
moved in a narrow range pending
Mexican developments. In Wail
Street no perturbation was felt over a
possible break between Mexico and
the United States.
In the late forenoon, the tone con
tinued firm, and many of the leading
railroads apd industrials made fractional
gains over the initial figures Steel com
mon was in brisk demand, moving up
% to 62, while similar gains w'ere noted
In American Can common. Reading,
Erie Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Cana
dian Pacific
Immediately after the announcement
of the 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 banking 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 rain
over the midday level. Reading was
steady. Canadian Pacific and Amal
gamated Copper were hi her. Steel
moved slightly and showed little
change. New York, New Haven and
Hartford continued under par.

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, hut 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 Ixiuislana; 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 7.000 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 waiting 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
