office .‘'tructur*' additional to the At
lanta National Bank Building would j
lend a great deal of prestige to the
retail shopping district and the en
ure S)uth Side.
The probable effect on tenants and
leases \wts also discussed with in
terest. Announcement that Brown Sc
1 Allen m ! ght move to the Lynch prep-
' ertv across the way. \\hi *h they leased
a year ago. and that the United Cigar
Stores Company might take the
• Brown Sc Allen corner caused much
gossip on the i robable new lease rate
for the corner. The Lynch corner,
, according to reliable authority, would
cost the drug concern $450 a month.
I This would be exclusive of the other
space upstairs and on West Alabama
street, which now brings Brown Sc
1 Allen an amount above the entire cost,
j The Lynch property was leased by the
drug company for $»e»«n year-', as a j
I protect'on, and the lease < obtains an
! option for five years more.
The United Cigar Storef Comuanv,
it is reported, made Dr. Connally an
offer on the Brown & Allen corner,
but negotiations have not gone far.
Dr. Connally promised Fd Brown, or
tHe drug company, the r* fuwii on the
ground floor at a price which has not
j been given out. This is said to ap
ply either to the store as it stands
lor to the office building space. The
Brown & Allen lease is up September
' 1, 1914
! ’in the leases on parts of the Con-
inally property it is said there is a
I one-vear cancellation clause, which
is taken to mean that when Dr. Con
nally made the leases he had a big
building in view.
The old building is bringing a
handsome return, and the only hes
itation I)r. Connolly has about put
ting up a larger structure lies in the
fi< .*t that a sky-craper would not pay
as high a percentage on the invest
ment.
Insurance Money Easy.
Insurance money continues to be
lent more readily in Atlanta than pre
vious to the announcement that $25,-
000,000 would be placed in Southern
banks to move the crops. About
twenty loan deeds went to record
Tuesday. Approximately half of
them were to the Penn Mutflal Life
Insurance Company, of Philadelphia,
the Guaranty Trust Company, of Mis
souri, the Travelers’ Insurance Com
pany, of Connecticut, the Germania f
Savings Bank and th^ United States
. Mortgage and Trust Company.
Many Expected at Dinner.
Inasmuch as Chas. P. Glover, Har
ris G. White, S. B. Turman and Fitz-
hugh Knox will be present at the
. monthly dinner of the Atlanta Real
Estate Board Friday, it is believed
that a large crowd of realty men will
attend. The above-named agents are
full of the recent trip to Winnipeg,
and they will be called on to relate
their experiences in the Northwest.
President White has made an
nouncement of a change in plan for
the monthly dinners. Instead of
holding them at 6:30 p. m., the time
will be 12:30 to 2 p. m„ and the place
\yill be the Hotel Ansley. !• riday’s
dinner will be held in the Georgia
pine room of the hotel.
Interesting Apartment Leases.
H. M. Atkinson and J. D. Rhodes
have ’ ased apartments in the Ponce
DeLeon, southeast corner of Peach
tree street and Ponce DeLeon avenue,
and will be quartered there this win
ter. The leases were made by Albert
S. Adams, of the B. M. Grant Agency,
who is the exclusive agent for this
structure. Gen. R. K. Evans will
move from the Bell place, northeast
corner of Peachtree and Fifth streets,
to the Georgian Terrace.
The near approach of fall finds
many people ready to move into new
locations, and the renting agencies
are in the midst of their busiest sea
son. Mr. Aycock, manager of the
renting department of the Charles P.
Glover agency, declared that the ten
dency was to re-lease rather than to
choose different houses.
Peachtree Lease Expected.
Another Peachtree lease is expect
ed to be announced soon. The Unit
ed Motor Atlanta Company, now the
Maxwell Company, will move from
its present location at the foot of
Currier street to some location that
suits its wholesale business better,
and the Turman, Black Sc Calhoun
agency, who have the building, will
announce the plans of another con
cern which will move in.
Big Acreage Sale.
Extensive acreage tracts in South
and Middle Georgia continue to be
handled through Atlanta real estate
agents. Sisson Sc Miller have sold
to T. R. Owsley, through J. T. Kim
brough, the well-known realty agent,
160 acres of land three miles north
of Fort Valley for $9,000, or $56 an
acre.
Support for Exhibit Project.
Indications pointed Wednesday to
success in the effort to place Atlanta-
made goods permanently on exhibit in
the four top floors of the Chamber of
Commerce Building, southeast corner
of North Pryor street and Auburn
avenue. Several additional merchants
and manufacturers assured the mer
chants and manufacturers’ commit
tee that they would take space. It
has been feared that not enough ex
hibitors will be in the building to
make the project a success, and W.
H. Leahy, of the local industrial bu
reau. has given notice that prospec
tive lessees must hurry and sign up
for space, or it will be too late.
Unless action is taken at once the
building will be converted into of
fices, as originally planned. Work is
under way and the Chamber of Com
merce officials want to know the de
cision of the exhibitors so as to de
termine definitely the character of
the building.
COTTON SELLS OFF
AFTER EARLY Gil
The Market Ruled Very Narrow,
Though There Was Some Cot
ton Wanted on Easy Spots.
NEW YORK, Aug. 13%—On reports of
showers at a number of points in central
Texas and Oklahoma, the cotton market
opened 2 to 4 points lower, except Au
gust, which showed 1 point advance
from the closing quotations of Tuesday.
A private message from New Orleans
stated that traders there expected fur
ther rains soon. However, the official
W'eather map only showed a few’ rains
and the official weather forecasts for
Oklahoma and Texas was for clear
weather.
After prices had declined about 1 to 2
points from the opening a sudden buy
ing movement, led by prominent opera
tors. started the market on an upward
trend, with the results of prices show
ing a gain of 2 to 7 points over the in
itial level by noon. August, however,
was not Inclined to follow the advance
and settled around 11.57 for a loss of 4
points from the previous close.
Liverpool reported weak cables and
according y sent over a range of prices
3 to 6 points lower, based on rains in
the Western belt.
It Is generally believed that a contin
uance of dry weather will lead to enrl>
deliveries of high-grade white cotion in
Texas, and on matter how dry it re
mains, this cotton will come Into the
market freely until the receipts from
the eastern half of the belt become
heavy. From present conditions an
early movement is genera’ly expected
Private reports recently Indicated a good
condition of 85 per cent of the cotton
belt west of the Mississippi River
Sentiment on the floor continues bear
ish.
As the map showed Ptt’e or no rain
and the detailed weather report posted
at 12 o’clock, giving temperatures and
rainfall for yesterday, was disappointing
to the bearish element, as there was
seventeen points In Oklahoma showing
temperatures from ICO to 109 and ten
points In Texas showing temperatures
from 100 to 104. with much less rainfall
than had been expected from the pri
vate reports that were received late
yesterday afternoon. The market ruled
very narrow', though there was appar
ently some cotton wanted on nil easy
spots. Some of the prominent Interests
who have been identified with the bull
side of late were put down as the early
sellers. It is purely a weather ma’kd
and much depends on what may happen
during the next two or three days.
At the close the market was stead?
with prices at a net decline of 3 to 0
points from the closing quotations of
Tuesday.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “Were the cotton market freed
from the menace of hostile legislation it
would probably do better now that crop
damage reports are coming in from the
west ! n great numbers. But. as matters
stand, the markets reflect a heavy tone
even in the presence of a more active
demand for forward export freight room.
Rig crop people adhere to their belief
that the drouth affected area In the
west does not cover a great amount of
territory and that even tin* dry region
•as produced crops In dryer years than j
this.
"Nevertheless, the Weather Bureau
stresses the bad state of affairs re
sulting from lack of moisture in Okla
homa and Texas, and the detailed re- i
ports from 198 Texas stations for July
'how a rainfull deficiency of 1.62 inches,
and a temperature excess of 1.2 degrees
over the July normal.
"On the other hand, print cloths are
now' quoted at 3%c, or % of a cent be
low the quotations at this time last
year,, which is equal to about 2%c a
pound on raw cotton. But raw cotton
values are now very little lower than
they were at this time la.st year. Mean
while, trade attention continues to cen
ter on the weather in the west.

Comment on Skyscraper Plans.
Real estate men engaged In a good
deal of discussion Wednesday on the
16-story office building which It is
planned to erect on Dr. E. L. Con-
nally’s lot at the southeast corner of
Whitehall and Alabama streets. Most
of them expressed the belief that an
Pushing Peachtree Work.
Indications w'ere Wednesday that
the county convicts would finish up
during the day or early Thursday
Peachtree repairs as far south as Fif
teenth street and would be able to
turn back from Fifteenth to Brook-
wood. There is probably fiv e days’
work before the entire job is com
pleted, and then the gang will go back
to the stretch lying between W. S
Witham’s country place and the De-
Kalb County line.
People using Peachtree of late have
expressed great satisfaction over the
paving. The County Commissioners
decided to make repairs rather than
lay new material and to make the
job new next year. The old paving
w'as plowed up. pulverized and pack
ed with a giant roller and for the
present it does as well as when it
w'as first laid. ^

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 13.—The
weather map shows rather general pre
cipitation in the eastern part of Texas,
although light so far. Generally fair in
the western half of Texas and Okla
homa overnight, partly cloudy to fair In
the rest of the belt. Scattered showers
fell in Tennessee, the south central Gulf
and Atlantic coast districts. Indications
are for further precipitation west to
day, particularly In the southern and
eastern part of Texas.
Liverpool came In very poor, with fu
tures at one time, as much as 4 lower
than due.
The last rey>ort to us from Liverpool
says: "Feeling and opinion continue
bearish, chiefly on account of the bad
trade outlook. Spinners and manufac
turers are complaining bitterly and un
derstand similar conditions exist on the
continent, so that oven with a moderate
crop a bull movement appears diffi
cult."
This accounts for the poor response to
reports of crop deterioration from Texas
and Oklahoma and the slow business in
forward shipments.
Trading here is quiet this morning
with the market dull but steady around
last night’s closing figures. The rela
tively small new crop receipts, in view
of the reports of active ginning in
Texas, are the subject of comment.
This is generally accounted for by the
slow export demand, and the unfavor
able news from Liverpool is In line
with it.
