Big Trades Pending—Monthly Luncheon—Alterations $15,000. sparse settling of South Georgia pre sents unusually good opportunities. A third sale in the $150,000 total of the Smith & Ewing Real Estate Agency was announced Friday con cerning the conveyance of a three- story and basement building at 12, 14 and 16 Trinity avenue to J. R. I Smith & Co. from the Georeia Realty Trust Company for $00,000. This lot is 64 1-2 by 105 feet, and the front foot price was, accordingly, $911. The building cost $36,000 and was formerly occupied by the South ern Book Concern, and is now under lease to Sterchi Bros. & Barnes, a furniture concern. It is known as the Hillyer property. The location is on the north side of Trinity avenue, be tween Whitehall and Forsyth streets. The deal was handled by Roe Price, of the Trust company, and Dr. J. T. Daves and John'll. Maddox, of Smith & Ewing. Big Projects Brewing. Pople who think the local real es tate market is quiet will be interested to learn that some of the biggest deals In the city’s history are under way and are expected to be announced soon. These w'll come within a month or 60 days, according to the real es tate men who are interested in them. Big improvements go with some. A dealer who trades a good part of the time in private properties has a trade on which will make past cash transactions look small in comparison. There are other arrangements which are being kept exceedingly quiet. Many Heating Plants. The Moncrief Furnace Company has applied to Building Inspector Ed R. Hays for permits to install nine fur naces at an aggregate of $1,445. Demand for Healey Space. Demand for office building space seems never to cease in Atlanta. The Third National Bank Building was filled, it will be recalled, before the sixth elevator had been installed, and so with many other structures. The Hurt Building is all practically under lease and the Healey Building has had applications from nearly 100 business concerns. The Healey applications are about sufficient to All the structure, al though the leases have not yet been signed. A. F. and Milton Liebman art the agents for the building. Realty Board Dinner. Members of the Atlanta Real Estate Board gathered early Friday after noon in the Georgia Pine Room of the Hotel Ansley for their regular monthly luncheon. Delegates to the convention at Winnipeg were present and told interesting stories of experi ences in the Canadian Northwest. The question of th e convention for 1916 was discussed informally, and the opinion seemed to be that Atlanta would win out. It now develops that Memphis did not carry a formal invitation to Winnipeg, although the intention to do this was expressed two weeks be fore the meeting opened. Bocal deal ers take this to mean that Atlanta will have no opposition from the Ten nessee city, although no chances are being taken. President White, ex- .1 ‘resident Glover, Fitzhugh Knox and ;. 13. Turman are confident that At lanta will win. ‘Atlanta will get the convention if she wants it,” declared Mr. White. Alterations to Cost $15,000. Luther Z. Rosser and J. H. Porter have filed an application with Build ing Inspector Ed R. Hays for a permit to make additions and alterations to their building at 63 and 65 North Pryor street, the same to cost $15,000. Gud e & Co. have the contract. This structure was formerly occu pied by the Dougherty-Little-Redwine Company, wholesale dry goods mer chants, and was bought in February for $184,550. There are six stories and about 70,000 square feet of floor space, practically all of which has been leased by the Forest & George Adair Real Estate Agency. The lot is on the east side of the street, between Auburn avenue and Edgewood ave nue. The building will be converted Into offices, with elevators and other mod ern conveniences.

Aid of State Chamber. Immigrants coming into Georgia and settling on farms are expected to find a great deal of help through the newly created State Chamber of Com merce. wh ch will supply them with accurate and detailed Information. Heretofore the facilities for this serv ice have been very limited, the State Department of Agriculture and the various local chambers of commerce and real estate men attempting to supply the want. Thousands of thrifty immigrants from the Middle West are seeking Georgia farms for trucking and gen eral farm purpose*, and the State Chamber will attempt to locate them profitably. This class of immigrants is educated and desirable. Many of them have attended the State institu tions of the Northwest and learned scientific farming methods.

ELOPIIIGDMIGHTER Girl Marries Man Father Dis charged From His Employ Be cause He Courted Her. A romance which began more than a year ago when Lear Galanter, of Lolisville, was employed by the fa ther of Miss Hannah Wolfe, of Capitol avenue, and which reached Its climax Friday, when the couple ran away and were married, was given a jolt a few hours after the wedding when the bride’s parents located them'at the Aragon Hotel. After a conference with their (laughter and new son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe left the Hotel, de claring their daughter had married against their wishes, and that the young people “could go where they pleased.” I It is said by friends of the bride that Galanter was discharged from Mr. Wolfe’s employ a year ago be cause he persisted in paying atten tions to Miss Wolfe. He went to Louisville to work, but the spark kindled while he was in Atlanta de veloped into the flame of love. A few days ago he returned to claim his bride. After the wedding the couple told some of their friends, it is said, who told her parents of the wedding. RAINS SENDS COTTON UP Giles Report and Unfavorable Crop Advices Drive Shorts to Cover—Cables Firm.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—Conditions re flecting the cotton market at the open ing to-day were a little more bullish than yesterday first prices were 5 to 10 points higher than the closing quo tations of Thursday. The Giles report was regarded as moderately bullish, but weather conditions in the Routhwest proved another factor, which encouraged an active buying, which was attributed chiefly to local short covering. Brokers, representing spot Interests, also bought. While there was no rains t wwn on the map for Texas and ( >k'ahoma, si ill reports from Dallas state that there were scattered showers in several local ities. and New Orleans wires that Indi cations point for further rains over Sun day. However, the market failed to bulge from the initial high point, ex cept the , most remote p< sitions were lowered about 2 points, but soon re trleved the decline. During the forenoon offerings became etlff and considerably scattered, result ing In the entire list rallying 5 to 7 points from the beginning range except August, which held steady at 12 points advance over the previous c’ose. Thera was a decided change In sen- timer t late yesterday and there was cor.slderab’e late buying which was re flected Liverpool markets this morn ing. While Kofler, of New Orleans, Is predicting rain over Surday for the West, the Government forecast says ho* and dry.
