a foot. Mr. Smith bought for In

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
office .structure additional to the At
lanta National Bank Building would
lend a great deal of prestige to the
retail shopping district anil the en
tire South Side.
The probable effect on tenants and
leases was also discussed with in
terest. Announcement that Brown A
Allen might move to the Lynch prop
erty across the way, which they leased
a year ago, and that the United Cigar
Stores 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 would be exclusive of the other
space upstairs and on ’Vest Alabama
street, which now brings Brown Sc
Alien an amount above the entire edit.
The Lynch property was leased by the
drug company for seven years*, as a
protection, 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 Sc Aden corner,
but negotiations have not gone far.
Dr. Connally promised Ed Brown, of
the drug company, the refusal 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 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 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-
hugn 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
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 leased apartments in the Ponce
DeLeon, southeast corner of. Peach
tree street and Ponce DeLeon avenue,
ind 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.
An'Yr^r 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 & 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
hibitora will be in the building to
make the project a success, and W
H. Leahy, of the local industrial bit
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.
Pushrng Peachtree Work.
Indications were Wednesday that
the county convicts w'ould 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 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 hav
expressed great satisfaction over the
paving. The County CommissiQners
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.
COTTON SELLS OFF
AFTER EARLY GAIN
he Market Ruled Very Narrow,
Though There Was Some Cot
ton Wanted on Easy Spots.
NEW YORK. Auk 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
weather man only showed a few rains
and the official weather forecasts for
Oklahoma and Texas was for clear
weather.
After prices hail declined about 1 to 2
joints from the opening a sudden buy-
ng 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
accordingly 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 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 front
the eastern half of the belt become
h#avy. From present conditions an
early movement is generally 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 little or no rain
and the detailed weather report posted
at 12 o'clock, giving temperatures anil
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
vfcry 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
during the next two or three days.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.
What d'ye think? 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 dryest
on record in Texas, fell flat and advices
from New Orleans that the Clarke
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 Southwest.
Dallas wires: “Texas anil Oklahoma
generally clear and hot.’’

NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 13.—The
weather map shows generally cloudy
over the eastern part of Texas, with
precipitation rather general, although
light so far. Rain at Taylor. Tex.
Cloudy in Tennessee, 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
wll’ probably have some scatterd show
er*.
Memphis wires: “The first new bale
of the season of 1913-14 was received
here this morning from Mississippi De-
l>ata Blunting Company. With but one
exception this is the earliest bale on

The New Orleans Tlmes-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 tho
west in 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.
Big 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 ban state of affairs, re
sulting from lack of moisture in Okla
homa and Texas, and the detailed re
ports from 198 Texas stations for July
show* 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 last year. Mean
while, trade attention continues to cen
ter on the weather in the west.
* * •
Memphis wires: “Semi-monthly con
dition report of J. B. Turner shows fol
lowing condition on August 9 with com
parisons to Government’s figures on
July 25:
“North Carolina, 83 against 77; South
Carolina. 82 against 76; Georgia. 80

States 77.8 against 79.6.
By Government July 25: “The status
of the crop is now just the reverse of
that of the early season in that highest
conditions are shown in the Eastern and
Atlantic States, which fact is due to
exceptionally favorable weather there
and severe drouth in Texas and Oklaho
ma. operating to advance the one an .
pull down the other. It is seldom that
cotton maintains at this date the lux
uriant growth and vigorous life that Is
characteristic of the plant in Georgia

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: “In
the wheat situation there wus nothing
new presented by the trade, except that
sentiment was more friendly to tho buy

eoiyse grains and a little black-rust
talk. Corn bulla last night were con
fident of their position, as temperatures
ver the Southwest ranged from 99
to 108 without any rain, except in
Oklahoma.

corn prices as high, except for the pres

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—Corn showed a
further fractional advance at the open

to display as much activity as seen since
the present higher price campaign was
started. The greater portion of the
corn belt received rains, me exceptions
being Kansas, Oklahoma ana part of
Missouri. Temperatures in tne South
west were again higher, and the belief
that further deterioration will be seen
prevails among the trade here. Argen
tina shipments for the week are ex
pected to be larger, and an estimate

of that country 14,000,000 bushels above
previous estimates.

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 low’er
than due.
The last report to us from Liverpool
says: “Feeling and opinion continue
bearish, chiefly on account of the bad
trade outlook. Spinners ami manufac
turers are complaining bitterly and un
derstand similar conditions exist on the
continent, so that even 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.

undivided profits. This will give this
bank a capital anil surplus of $100,000

LETTER.
MEMPHIS. Aug 13.—The market
shows same old nervousness over Texas
weather A few light rains fell in east-
ern Texas, but as
a whole the State re-
mains quite dry and hot. The semi-
monthly condition
reports s
heavy
losses In the Southwest, but improve-
ment in the East,
nearly offsetting the
losses. Likely that drouth
must con-
tinue or rains come or some setback
occur In the East
to move the market
far away from 11

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Miller & Co.: Unless the drouth
situation in the Southwest Is relieved,
we expect no activity at present.
Logan & Bryan: We do not think
general conditions warrant any marked
upturn at this time, and in the event |
of good soaking rains in the South- |
west, a lower range of values will
undoubtedly result.
COTTON SEED OIL..

a violent break this morning under out

mission houses were good buyers of late

STOCK GOSSIP
“I see no reason to change our opin
ion on the stock market at present, as
all Indications point to a higher level of
prices," says G. D. I’otter. of N. L. (Jar-
tenter & Co. "I still advise operating
n the active issues like Union Pacific,
Copper anil Steel. Of course, from time
to time we will have moderate reactions,
but when they come holdings should.be
Increased. The large interests have the
majority of stocks and the holdings of
the public are small. Until these condi
tions are reversed believe the upward
trend will continue."
