All Delegates Back
From Big Convention
Claim That Tampa and Atlanta Will
Contest for 1916 Meet—County
Work 18 Completed.
Charley P. Glover, Harris G. White
and F*itzhugh Knox have returned
from the sixth annual convention of
the National Association of Real Es
tate Exchanges at Winnipeg, with
glowing accounts of their trip 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 Atlanta 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 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 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 a little bit skeptical
about financing the meeting. Winni
peg spent $20,000 In entertainment,
and Pittsburg will spend $10,000. In
order to raise enough money, we must
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 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 value? are not too
high by any means. Why. in towns
of 30,000 people in Canada they 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 County,
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 line,
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, ani
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 says the
general impression in the East Is that
this money will help the South more
than the West. He declared that 1n a
month or 60 days financial conditions
in Atlanta would return to normal
and that there would be plenty of
money for all purposes.
To Build $14,000 Home.
J. M. B. Hoxsey has made appli

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 sky sera pers. From the
single elevator in the old daye 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.

some new apartment house. The

EARLY HIGH POINT
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, except August,
which opened 2 points net lower.
However, immediately after the open
ing this option rallied 8 points to
11.63, 'nothing between, and later in
creased its advance 2 more points.
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 th© southern half of
Texas. This, coupled with a rather
bearish circular of Habersham King
on the weeks development of the
crop, which stated that while tem
peratures were above normal and pre
cipitation being below an unfavorable
Combination, conditions which pre
ceded render it temporarily a favor
able combination as to 85 per cent ol
the belt, leaving it injurious as to the
dry portion of Texas and Olahoma,
and contributing the remaining 1*
per cent, which is the only section
now suffering for rain, resulted in
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 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 western belt for
yesterday in many places ranging from
100 to 106, in Oklahoma principally,
caused buying and a few points’ rally
followed. .
Texas wai not so warm, but 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 be
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 market for the next
few days depends entirely on the weath
er, which must be watched closely.

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 7.000 bales. 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.

By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. Aug. 11.—Texas Com
pany 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 l point on foreign buying,
due evidently 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 leases 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 Wail
Street no perturbation was felt over a
possible break between Mexico and
the United States.
In th© late forenoon, the tone con
tinued firm, and marfy of the leading
railroads and industrials made fractional
gains over th© initial figures Steel com
mon was in brisk demand, moving up
% to 62. while similar gains were noted
in American Can common. Reading.

Pacific declined 1% to 91 Vi. its high

The stock market, though dull, holds
firm There are several special stocks
that will probably sell higher on account
«>f the coming announcements that will
affect them. Interborough preferred
will most likely be placed on a 5 per
i-ent dividend basis this fall. Union Pa-
■ ifio will undoubtedly pay an extra dlv
ideml from surplus account before the
end of the year. The copper issues
should also be attractive on account of
the advancing tendency of the metal
Believe the Issues mentioned are a pur
chase for the long pull -G. D. Potter

A 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 cron 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.

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Beneficial
rains over the greater portion of the
corn belt proved a help to the beara
in corn and the market at Chicago
opened 1 3-8 @ 1 3-4 cents lower. The
larger longs were throwing over their
lines, which were absorbed in a ready
manner by shorts. The Southwest
failed to receive any rains, and ad T
vices received from that section were
quite unfavorable. The buying of
shorts on the initial decline brought
values back to a level near the open
ing prices.
Conditions surrounding the wheat
market abroad were more favorable*
and values in the principal markets
of the old world were lower. This,
coupled with the early weaknesses
shown by corn, resulted In a break of
3-8 0) 1-2 In wheat prices at Chicago.
Heavy rains were reported in the
spring wheat country. Worlds ship
ments for the week were close to
13,000,000 bushels, compared with 9,-
488,000 bushels for the corresponding
time last week There was an in
creased movement to Northwestern
markets, yet the arrivals there were
lighter than the same day last year.
Oats followed in the course of the
other markets, showing declines of
3-8 (ft 5-8 cents early.
The provision market ruled irregu-f
lar In th© matter of price trend, pork
and lard selling at slight advances*
while ribs were marked lower.
