Medium-Sized Acreage
T racts
ALL of us know the profit that Is usually made from acreage.
It is almost a conceded fact that If a person owns good acre
age, he has a sure profit in it sooner or later. When we think of
acreage propositions, we think of lots of land, and naturally lots
of money, because the usual acreage transaction Involves a great
deal of money. The demand for good, close-in acreage for sub
division purposes is increasing every day. A trip to the outskirts
of the city in any direction you cHoose to tak© will convince
you of this fact. We are going to offer a tract of about 100
acres, between Decatur and East Lake, which we have cut up
into five, ten and fifteen-acre tracts. The pric© and terms on
these tracts make it possible for almost anybody to handle them.

Reportrof Deterioration Runs the
Shorts to Cover—Bears With
draw—Cables High.
« NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—Firm cables
in connection with no rain in Texas
overnight led to a firm opening of the
cotton market to-day. First prices
were at a net advance of 3 to 10 points,
generally 8 points higher than the clos
ing quotations of Tuesday. Immediate
ly after the opening there was consid
erable un'osdlng on the upturn on the
idea that the weather outlook was fa
vorable. The selling was attributed
mainly to brokers who have been on the
buying side for the past few days tak
ing profit. The decline was small, being
only 2 to 4 points.
Later unfavorable weather and crop
reports caused a general buying wave,
Including considerable short covering,
and prices made new high ground for
the movement. December led the ad
vance by rallying 11 points from the in
itial level. Other positions followed the
advance with gains ranging from 3 to
10 point A
A cable from Liverpool explained the
advance there by short covering on re
ports of damage from this side, but re
ported a poor spot demand.
The detailed weather map for Texas
yesterday shows two stations had tem
peratures of 100 to 102 degrees. Dallas
wires that Texas received further rains
along Fort Worth and Denver Railway
and West and South Texas, also central
part of Texas, benefiting crops consider
ably. This, coupled with prospects of
the weather becoming unsettled in the
Western 'States, encouraged an active
selling movement during the fort part
of the afternoon session. There are a
good many reports from the Eastern
belt complaining of considerable dete
rioration in the last few days. This
checked the downward trend of the
market, which was in evidence when
profit taking longs sold the market olT
a few points from the early high point
It is a critical period Just now and
the bears are very cautious. Rains are
undoubtedly needed over the entire cot
ton area. The bull forces contend that
unless it does rain in the next few days,
much higher prices will be the result.
The feeling Is becoming more bullish
each day In the absence of sufficient
moisture.
The volume of trade in thecotton mar
ket during the afternoon session was on
an enormous scale. Every option on
the list scored new high levels, August
reached 11.84, October 11.75, December
11.68, January 11.61 and March 11.64.
Shorts struggled for the few bales that
were offered. Traders at the start of
the upward movement were inclined to
sell, but later they withheld offering
as it was notlceabble that the bulls
had at last caught the market In a
position where a senasltonal advance
would follow on any substantial sup
port. Not one time did the market bulge
from the high level, except a point or
two. The market closed very steady
with prices at a net gain of 26 to 30
points, except August, which was 11
points higher than the closing quota
tions of Tuesday.

HAYWARD A CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 20—While
there were only a few scattered show
ers In the southern half of Texas, there
was a material change overnight in the
pressure, distribution and prospects are
again in favor of the weather becoming
unsettled In the western States. The
map shows cloudy weather over the en
tire northern hair of the belt, generally
fair in the southern half and generally
fair weather Indicated for the southeast
ern quarter.
Letters from reliable parties in Texan
say that there has been considerable
rainfull lately in the southern half of
the State, but, as it was in the nature
of heavy showers not always occurring
at Government stations, it did not ap
pear in the official records. Deteriora
tion is said to be from very high pros
pects, hence appears greater than
normal.
First trades here were at an advance
of about 8 points and the market ad
vanced steadily to 11:44 for October.
Reports of damage from the west seem
to nave taken hold of opinion, and with
prospects for a bullish Bureau report,
bull operators have the advantage. The
bears are holding off; the supply of sell
ing contracts is smaller, while demand
has broadened and the combination car
ries prices up. It Is the usual outcome of
a crop scare, which has been brewing
for some time, on a somewhat oversold
market.
A growing Jeellng of confidence that
the trade is not lik%)y to be further
hampered by hostile legislation also pro
vldes buyers and contributes to the ad
vance.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
The market has ruled very strong all
day. Liverpool cables more than met
the advance of yesterday and brought
out good buying and considerable short
covering. The bull forces were early
buyers and were aggressive on the ad
vance and there was very little cotton
for sale; only profit taking by scattered
longs.—J. M. Anderson.
"I have Just received a telegram from
Clement & Curtis, of Chicago, saying
that their reports on cotton indicate a
6 point loss or deterioration since last
month. They also say they can not
favor bulling corn at these prices; in
other words, don’t favor following the
advance further."—S. Tate.
A prominent spot house in Houston
says: "Don't think deterioration above
normal, but more striking, us conditions
heretofore have been excellent.’’
* • *
The New York Cotton Exchange will
be closed Saturday and Monday, Sep
tember 1. The New Orleans exchange
will close Monday only.
• • *
Riordan was apparently the leading
seller on the up-turn to-day, but turned
the best buyer, causing a general buying
move.
• • *
Vidal la, Ga., wires: “Forty acres of
the finest cotton in this county has been
practically ruined by the ravages of a
small green worm called a bollworm
on account of the fact that his work
is done on the green bolls Just before
maturity.
"The worms have made their appear
ance in the field of J. Ii. Watts near this
place, and who carried off first bale
honors l%st year. Mr. Watts brought
nearly a peck of the infected bolls to
town to-day and explained the work or
the wortn, which is about an inch long
After the boll has been destroyed the
worm moves to another and they are
working in such large quantities that
the 40-acre field that was attacked has
practically been ruined in less than two
weeks. A number of the infected bolls
have been left with Mayor Meadows, of
this place, who will send them to At
lanta and get expert advice as to the
best means of fighting the new pest.
So far no other field has been at
tacked.
“The little worm bores a hole in the
boll and feeds on the cotton pulp on
the inside, a decay •immediately sets
up and the worm moves along "
• * •
B. Tate, of N. L. Carpenter & Co.,
says: ‘Telegrams coming in to us are
of a very disturbing nature, reporting
crop in eastern part of belt, Carolinas,
Georgia, Alabama, part of Tennessee
and part of Mississippi, showing marked
deterioration. Crdp generally spotted,
meaning a large part of it is now or late
cotton, which is very susceptible to
normal weather conditions, dry and hot,
through last half of August and first
half September.
“Estimates from different States be
ing generally reduced. Reports from
western part of belt, particularly Tex
as Arkansas and Oklahoma describe
continued deterioration; estimates on
Texas now running as low as £000,006
bales; Oklahoma very bad, prospects
greatly reduced both In this State and
in Arkansas. A continuation of this
dry hot weather means a very low,
bullish Government condition report on
September 1, anl a prospective big ad
vance in price of cotton futures, which,
even with a crop of 14,000,000 bales,
these prices are very cheap."
* i *
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says:"Continued acute need for moisture
over a large cotton belt area, some Im
provement in the American dry goods
trade and the spreading belief that Con
gress will enact scientific legislation for
the regulation of contract trading caused
a small buying wave, and a cotton mar
ket advance w r as scored. However, the
market is yet held In restraint, and the
S rlc© pendulum carries values up and
own within narrow limits only.
"With all trade eyes on Texas and
Oklahoma the rings were particularly
interested in the reports for those
States included in the Government’s
weekly cotton region bulletin, which
was published yesterday.
"During the past few days private re
ports of rains in these two States not
only have been rather numerous, but
they have indicated beneficial precipi
tation over a somewhat greater area
than has been indicated by the informa
tion supplied by the Government. Aft
er making full allowance for exaggera
tion by private correspondents there is
still a disparity, which can only be ex
plained on the ground that in the very
large State of Texas the Government
maintains an insufficient number of
telegraph reporting stations to ade
quately cover the territory. The Gov
ernment's weekly bulletin, however,
should make allowance for this fact."

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Oceans says:
"Wheat bulls think there is a turn in
the situation, basing their belief on the
Russian crop report given out yester
day reducing the crop 112,000.000 bush
els to only 39.000.000 bushels more than
last year. More profit taking was on
in corn and oats yesterday than at any
time since the upturn started and the
market felt it most Even those who
are bearish advocate caution In selling
on breaks."
• • •
There has been considerable inquiry
for cash wheat to-day.
• * •
LeCount wires Finley Barren from
Blnscarth, Manitoba: "From here to
Minnesota crops all good. All wheat
examined shows crop filling splendidly."
