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 cation at Building Inspector Hays’ office for a permit to build a $14,000 two-story brick veneer dwelling on Piedmont avenue, 270 feet north of West Fourteenth street.

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.

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.

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.
