J Brown & Allen lease is up September
1 '’in the leases on parts of the Con-
! nallv property it is said there is a
I 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,-
00ft,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 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 1'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 & Calhoun
agency, who have the building, will
announce the plans of another con
cern which will- move in.
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
weather map only showed a few' rains
and the official w'eather 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 w’eak 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 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 86 per cent of the cotton
belt west of the Mississippi River
Sen H ment on the floor continues bear
ish.
A:’ the man showed litt’e or no rain
and the detailed weather report posted
at 1 . o’clock, giving temperatures and
rain all for yesterday, was disappointing
to tne bearish element, as there was
seventeen points In Oklahoma showing
ter iperatures from 100 to 109 and ten
points 1n Texas showing temperatures
f.'om 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
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.
Following are 11 a m. bids in New
York: October, 11.03; December, 10.96;
January. 10.85; March. 10.93.

What d’ye think? Southwest received
j 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 he 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 rein in the Southwest.

Comment on Skyscraper Plans.

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
reau, has given notice that prospec
tive lessees must hurry and sign yp
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.
Pushing Peachtree Work.
Indications wer e 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 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.

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 in great numbers. But, as matters
'■■tand, the markets reflect a heavy tone
even ir» 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
lias 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 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.

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 and
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

HAYWARD «t 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 centra! 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 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 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.

Miller A Co.: Unless the drouth
situation In the Southwest Is relieved,
we expect no activity at present.
Logan A 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 reaulL
mains quite dry and hot. The semi
monthly condition reports show 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
