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 ; office Mtructuro additional to the At- ' lanta National Bank Building would lend a great deal of prestige to the retail shopping district and the cn- 1 tire S >uth Side. The probable effect on tenants and j * leases was also discussed with in i' rest. Announcement that Brown ^ 1 Alien might move to the Lynch prop erty across the way, which they leased a year ago, and that the United Cigar Sti res Company might take the Brown & Allen corner caused muon 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 would be exclusive of the other space upslairs and on West Alabama street, which now brings Brown & j Allen an amount above the entire cost. I The Lynch property was leased by the j drug company for seven year>\ as a ! protection, and the lease contains an option for live years more. The United Cigar Stores Oomuanv. 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 refuiwl on the gr >und floor at a price which has not been given out. This is said to ap ply cither to the store as it stands- or to the office building space. The Brown & Allen lease is up September 1 ’lJi the leases on parts of the Con nally property it is said there is a one-year 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 be lent more readily in Atlanta than pie- 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 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 piace 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 ’ a-sed 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 & 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 & 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- I reau, has given notice that prosper- ' tive lessees must hurry and sign up for space, or it will be too late. Unless action is taken at once the building will Vie 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. Pushfng 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 w’ould be able to turn'back 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. COTTi SELLS DIF AFTER EARLY GAIN \ The Market Ruled Very Narrow, Though There Wes 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- tTier^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 ihe 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 eati> deliveries of 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 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 fitt’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 100 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 all 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 market and much depends on what may happen dur’ng the i ext two or three days At the close the market was steadj with prices at a ret decline of 3 to 6 polrts from the closing quotations of Tuesday.

But, as matters stand, .he 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 the dry region as produced crops in dryer years than 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 ports from 11*8 Texas stations for July •how a rainfull deficiency of ’..62 inches, and a temperature excess of 1.2 degrees over the July normal.

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 Gpif 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 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 and un derstand similar conditions exist <>n the continent, so that even with a moderate crop a bull movement adpears 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. New Orleans. Galveston. . . Mobile. . . . Savannah. . .
