Mr. Smith bought for In vestment, and he may improve with an apartment house or building of similar character. 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.

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 record; first bale in 1902 being received August 10.

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 against 76: Alabama, 80 against 79; Mis sissippi, 78 against 77; Tennessee, 87 against 90; Arkansas. 85 against 87; Louisiana, 78 against 79; Oklahoma. 72 against 61; Texas. 74 against 81; United 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 and the Oarollnas.’’ TEXAS COMPANY ATTRACTIVEISSUE Canadian Pacific and Harrimans Also Higher—Sentiment Be coming Optimistic.

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 sent out places the exportable surplus of that country 14,000,000 bushels above previous estimates. Wheat showed a gain of about the same size, as registered in the com mar ket Offerings of wheat in the local pit were held more tightly and shorts were In the market on the buying side. Liv erpool showed an early gain of Vi to Vic. being influenced largely by the firmer American cables of yesterday. Advices received here were to the effect that no damage had been done in Argentina by the frosts reported there several days ago. oat values failed to follow In the course of other grains, declines of Vi to %< being shown In this market at the opening Longs were the principal sell ers. Provisions were again being liqui dated by some of the holders, and val ues suffered declines under this selling and the lower market for hogs at the yards. Grain quotations: High.

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. NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

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 rents. I 1:30 | Prev. Open High ! Low’P.M.I Close.
