COTTON MARKET
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 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 and pre
cipitation being below an unfavorable
combination, conditions which pre
ceded render it temporarily a favor
able combination as to 85 per cent oi
the belt, leaving it injurious as to the
dry portion of Texas and Olahoma,
and contributing the remaining 15
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.
Following are 11 a. m. bids in New
York: August, 11.63; October, 11.04;
December, 10.99; January, 10.88; March,
10.98.
Following are 10 a. m. bids in New
Orleans: August, 11.38; October, 11.08;
January, 11.08.

REAL ESTATE AND
CONSTRUCTION NEWS
CHICAGO. Aug 11.—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.
Peachtree Homes for Sale.
Two Peachtree homes have been
put on the market, big signs in fhe
front yards announcing the fact. The
fim is the property of John H. James,
at No. 33 4 Peachtree, a two-story
frame house on a 54 by 160 foot lot.
This Is on the west side of the street
between Bakei* and Ivy streets. Frcjnt-
nge in this neighborhood is about
$1,500 a front foot.
The second is for sale by Jonathan
B. Frost, at No. 528 Peachtree, on the
same side of the street, between Lin
den street and North avenue, like
wise a two-story frame dwelling. In
side lots in this neighborhood are
about $1,000 to $1,100 a front foot.
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. FTom the
single elevator in the old dayn 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
will soon take up the matter of the
building with her architect. The lot
is at No. 45 Currier street, between
Courtland street and Piedmont ave
nue, and was bought from Chapman
Sr Gibson through the Hoff Sims Real
Estate Agency for $10,500.
The Sims agency made small sales
in the first week of August aggregat
ing approximately $20,000, including
the above, and the others consist of
the sale of renting property on West
Fair street, near Ashby street, bought
from Andrew Chappell for Ben
Wilkes, for $1,650; No. 187 Pulliam
street. A. Y. Coles to Benjamin

GRAIN MARKET
CHICAGO. Aug. 11.—Beneficial
rains over th e greater portion of the
corn belt proved a help to the bears
in corn and the market at Chicago
opened 1 3-8 @14-4 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
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 @ 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 @ 5-8 cents early.
The provision market ruled irregu
lar in th e matter of price trend, pork
and lard selling at slight advances,
while ribs were marked lower.

Sentiment more bearish than ever.

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
10,006 October, December and January,
starting for 11.05 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 month had a fainting
spell and dropped to 10.Si. The decline
was stopped by week-end short cover
ing and a certain amount of trade buy
ing around 11c for October.

STOCK MARKET
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 the
weakest, although Mexican Petroleum
lost 1 point. Canadian Pacific ad
vanced 1 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 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 United States.
