Real estate men engaged in a good deal of dlscuMlon 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 office Mtrueture additional to the At lanta National Bank Building would lend a great deal of prestige to the retail shopping district and the en tire Siuth Side. The probable effect on tenants and leases was also discussed with in terest. Announcement that Brown H Allen might move to the Lynch prop erty across the way, which they leased a year ago. and that the United Cigar St< res Company might take the Brown & Allen corner caused much gossip on the probable new lease rate for the corner. The Lynch corner, according to reliable authority, would cost the drug concern $450 a month. This \yould be exclusive of the other space upstairs and on West Alabama street, which now brings Brown & Allen an amount above the entire cost. The Lynch property was leased by the drug company for seven year. 4 ', as a protect'on, and the lease contains an option for five years more. The United Cigar Stores Comuanv. It is reported, made Dr. Connally an offer on the Brown & Alien corner, but negotiations have not gone far. Dr. Connally promised Ed Brown, of the drug company, the refuel on the ground floor at a price which has not been given out. This is said to ap ply either to the store as it stands or to the office building space. The Brown & Allen lease is up September 1, 1914. , ^ In the leases on parts of the ( on- nallv property it is said there is a 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 Dr. Connolly has about put ting up a larger structure lies in the fact that a skyscraper would not pay as high a percentage, on the invest ment. Insurance Money Easy. Insurance money continues to he 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 Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Philadelphia, the Guaranty Trust Company, of Mis souri, the Travelers’ Insurance Com pany, of Connecticut, the Germania Savings Bank and the 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 tha*t a Iarg.; 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 thorn at 6:30 p. m , the time will be 12:30 to 2 p. m., and the place will be the Hotel Ansley. Friday’s dinner will be held in the Georgia pine room of the hotel. Interesting Apartment Leases. H. M. Atkinson and J. D. Rhodes have Baaed apartments in the Poivce 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 pla.ee. 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 & 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 <6 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 sucoess, 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 a de termine definitely the character of the building. Pushing Peachtree Work. Indications were 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 bank from Fifteenth to Brook- wood. There is probably five 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 was plowed up. pulverized and pack ed with a giant roller and for the present it does as well as when it was first laid. Building Permits. $100—J. M.

Aug. 13.—On reports of showers at a number of points in centra! 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 weather 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 early deliveries «*f high-grade white cotton 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 betome 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 lltt’e or no rain and the detailed weather report posted at 12 o’clock. gWing temperatures and rainfall for yesterday, was disappointing to the bearish element, as there was seventeen points In Oklahoma showing temperatures from 100 to 100 and ten points in Texas showing temperature? 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 all easy snots. 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 market and much deneods on what may happen during the next two or three days. At the close the market was steady with prices at a net decline of 3 to 6 points from the closing quotations of Tuesday.

Southwest received some rain last night, which promoted an active selling movement at the out set to-day. * • * The Government report yesterday, stating that July was the third dryesi on record in Texas, fell flat and advices from New Orleans that the C arke amendment was likely t be shelved, failed to stir the market. • • • In the absence of other advices the weakness of the late cables from Liv erpool this morning were attributed to the reports of rain in the Southwesi.

Atlantic coast dis tricts and central Gulf districts, with scattered showers over Tennessee, south Gulf States and the Atlantics. Indica tions are for more showery weather over the western States and further pre cipitation in Texas, particularly over the eastern half of the State; partly cloudy Central States and the Atlantics will probably have some scatterd show ers.

But, as matters stand, the markets reflect a heavy tone even in the presence of u more active demand for forward export freight room. Tig 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 the dry region has produced crops in dryer years than this. ‘‘Nevertheless, the Weather Bureau stresses the had state of affairs, re sulting from lack of moisture in Okla homa and Texas, and the detailed re ports from 198 TVxas stations for July show a rainful! 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.

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 Llv'”' T >ool came in very poor, with fu tures > one time, as much as 4 lower than • 11 The last report 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 und un derstand similar conditions exist on the continent, so that even with a moderate crop a bull movement aupears 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 hut 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. NEW ORLEANS COTTON. INTERIOR MOVEMENT. I 1912.
