Work Is Postponed
On Peachtree Creek
Opposition Develops to Use of Corv
vlcts—Roadway To Be Oiled at
Once—Apartment Brings $14,250.
Peachtree Creek will not be cleared
up at present. This was decided at a
meeting of the Board of County Com
missioners Saturday morning. Chief
of Construction Clayton and F. A.
Quillian, chairman of the Bond Com-
mission, appeared before the board
and declared that they could protect
the Peachtree Creek disposal plant,
and that they thought it best for the
county to employ day labor rather
tiian put the convicts on the Peach
tree job at the expense of urgent
<sewer work.
It was pointed out that the county
could put twenty day laborers to work
and complete the job in a short time
at a cost of a few hundred dollars,
the members expressed the desire
to complete sewer jobs first, and one
commissioner declared that 100 more
men were now needed at Butler
street.
As soon as Peachtree road is dry,
declared Shelby Smith, chairman, it
will be oiled from Brookwood to
Buckhead. The contract has been let
to Samuel E. Finley for about 65,000
square yards of material, at a cost
of 4 1-2 cents a yard, or $2,975.
This material is being heated, and
the work should start Monday.
\ Washington Street Sale, $14,250.
The Phoenix Investment Company
has entered into an agreement with
Mrs. Emma E. LaHatte to construct
a two-story apartment house at No.
425 Washington street and to give a
Quitclaim on the entire property for
$14,250. The lot is 62 by 150 feet.
Permit for the structure was taken
earlier in the week.
* Much Church Activity.
Certain local churches are very
busy at this time preparing for the
completion of new edifices. The
Christian Science Church at the
northwest corner of Peachtree circle
and Peachtree street is perhaps half
completed, the Gordon Street Church
1s well along near West End Park,
the Unitarians are expected to start
soon on West Peachtree near Kimball,
and the First Presbyterian at Peach
tree and Seventeenth streets, and the
Central Baptist at the comer of
Cooper and Whitehall streets.
The Central Baptist congregation
bought their 102 by 150 foot lot over
a year ago for $18,000 and are ready
to move from Forsyth and Garnett
streets. Their present property is
held for $60,000, and the church and
prospective buyers have come with
in $10,00 of a trade on two occa
sions. The new church will cost
about $60,000 and will have such in
stitutional improvements as a swim-
rnnig pool, bowling alley, reading and
rest rooms, kindergarten, etc.
Railroad Developments Started.
People on the west side of the city
are waiting to see the result of rail
road activity that has been started in
that section. The projectors in the
Walker Street industrial development
have begun clearing, away small
houses to make ready for the exten
sion of a spur track through the rear
of the Walker Street tract to Haynes
street, where it is proposed to put
several large warehouses.
One building which will adorn the
group will be three stories high and
» 390 feet long, if the plans of the de
velopers do not go awry.
New Subdivision Opened.
Oak wood Terrace, a new subdivi
sion adjoining Druid Hills, west of
East Lake drive and fronting on the
North Decatur car line, has been put
on the market by tin- L. P. Botten-
field Real Estate Agency. This is
known as the Kirkpatrick property,
and was acquired some time ago by
the McKenzie Trust Company. The

Holland will have charge of the sales.
Kontz Home for Rent.
The former home of Judge Ernest
C. Kontz at the northeast corner ot
West Peachtree and Kimball streets
has been placed for renting with a
local real estate agency, Judge and

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.—The upward
trend of cotton prices following reports
of deterioration in tne Southwest was
resumed at the opening of the cotton
market to-day, the upturn ranging from
7 to 18 points over Saturday’s final.
One of the chief buying movies was the
report of a Southern newspaper making
the condition of the crop us of August
22 at 69.6 per cent, or 10 points off for
the month.
In addition to this the Liverpool mar-
”ket reported very high cables. Spot
houses were principal buyers, there
being also good buying from the ring.
However, there was some scattered
profit-taking by some who were big buy
ers last week. Prices, however, held
firm, and under continued good support
from the larger interests further gains
of 5 to 14 points were recorded by the
end of the first hour.
Following are 11 a. m. bids In New
York: August, 12.06; October, 11.85; De
cember, 11.81; January, 11.71; March,
11.80.
Following are 10 a. m. bids in New
Orleans: August, 12.22; October, 11.82;
December, 11.83; January, 11.84; March,

NEW YORK COTTON.
Even 10 Pts, Decline
In Cotton Condition
MEMPHIS, Aug. 25.—The condition of
the cotton crop, in a special report by
The Commercial-Appeal, is estimated to
be 69.6 of normal, an evn 10 points de
cline from the Goovernment’s figures of
July 25. The figures given her are
based on an average date of August 28.
Deterioration has been heaviest west
of the River, where the long drouth
continued unbroken and is making it
self felt on the crop. The conditions
prohaly have never been worse in Okla
homa and in Texas. The losses have
been very severe, the plant is withering
and is shedding heavily.
Young bolls are opening prematurely
In Alabama the grade of cotton brought
to market is said to be rather poor.
Hot, dry weather prevailed over most
of the eastern belt during the last fort
night, with a resultant deterioration in
Tennessee. Mississippi and Alabatn.
The loss in Mississippi and Louisiana
was greatly augmented by boll weevil,
the second hatching of which is infect
ing the fields and doing much damage.
In Georgia and the Carolinas the plant
about held its own during the month,
and prospects still are bright in these
States for a splendid crop.
In many places in the west it is con
tended that rains will not be of benefit
should they fall soon, but in most sec
tions corespondents are of the opinion
that good rains would greatly add to Urn
yield. The extremely hot weather and
the very dry soil tended to minimize
the benefit accruing from recent scaU
tered showers in Texas.
Owing to the dry hot weather cotton
is opening fast and picking promises
soon to become general. Farmers are
placing the lint on the market as soon
as ginend. Labor, generally speaking,
is ample.

COTTON GOSSIP
The New r York Journal of Commerce
has the following on the condition of
the cotton crops in Alabama, Mississip
pi and Louisiana:
“Alabama—On account of late June
planting, cotton is very spotted, and
fear is entertained that June cotton
will suffer considerable deterioration.
Some sections have had sufficient rain
fall, and their prospects are bright for a
full crop. But the major part of the
State is needing rain badly. Cotton is
shedding and opening prematurely, and
picking has begun in some sections.
Cultivation has been exeelDnt, and with
the exception of boll weevil the crop is
free from insect damage As a result
of heat and drouth, condition is slightly
lower than a month ago. when it was
79.2, but better than last year, when it
was 74.
“Mississippi—Barring the very general
prevalence of the boll weevil, the condi
tion is very good. Farmers are fight
ing the pest vigorously with good re
sults. The plant is of good size, well
cultivated and fruitage is good. Many
sections are beginning to feel the need
of rain and shedding is becoming gen
eral, owing to hot, dry winds. Bolls
are opening freely and picking will be
general in September. I’ercentage con
dition is considerably better than a
year ago at this time, when it was 71.3,
but somewhat lower than last month,
when it was 80.
“Louisiana- The presence of the boll
w’eevll is practically universal and they
have been the cause of material de
terioration. Excessive rains in many
sections have favored their depreda
tions. Sheddr.g s also general, but nut
more than normal for this time of the
year. Cultivation remains good and
there is little complaint of scarcity of
labor. Drouth and high temperatures
have affected some localities. Picking
will be fairly general by September 1.
Partial returns on percentage condition
indicates several points below last
month, when it was 78.7 per cent.”
Dallas wires: “Texas—Partly cloudy
to clear, showers over Mount Vernon,
Pittsburg and Mount Pleasant. Okla
homa—Clear.”
• • *
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 25.—Hayward
& Clark: The weather map shows part
ly cloudy in the western states,' cloudy
in the Atlantlcs; fair elsewhere; no ex
cessive temperatures. On the contrary,
cool weather continues in northern two-
third of the belt, light, scattered show
ers fell over the Atlantlcs and few light
showers reported by private sources in
Texas. Indications are for increasing
cloudiness in west, possibly some scat
tered showers in south Texas; generally
fair and normal temperatures over rest
of the belt.
• • •
Washington forecast for the week:
“Except along the South Atlantic and
East Gulf coast, where there will be
showers, generally fair weather, with
moderate temperatures probable in the
Southern States until the latter part of
the wmek, when {here will be quite gen
eral showers.”

Rainfall: Corpus Chrlsti. .01: Augus

Galveston wires: “Traveled four days
in automobile through to San Antonio,
talked with a number of posted men
relative to Texas crop. Think Texas
crop more than alst year.”
* * *
Habersham King, in his latest report,
says: “Crop stands almost alone in that
spring deve’opments guaranteed in
deep-rooted plant to withstand dry
weather, considering this and near ma
turity of plant I am convinced that it
is a conservative estimate that weather
developments were favorable to fully 75
per cent of the crop A stand-off as to
10 per cent and unfavorable to 15 per
cent, mainly notrhwest Mississippi and
(»klahoma. Outside of that there is no
drouth, except such small scattered
areas, hardly enough to mention in last
^••ports. f»*orn v.Mcb create the imnre

SOUTHERN BUYERS THICK
IN THE CHICAGO MARKET
Marshall Field & Go., tn a weekly re
view of the dry goods trade, says:
“Immediate business la keeping up
strong and aa the fall season opens up
there is more evidence of the scarcity of
desirable merchandise, the increase in
road sales during the t
with market purchases, indicating that
retailers are neginning to anticipate
their needs liberally for the coming few
months. Our shipping department is
working overtime to get out current and
September 1 shipments.
Buyers have been in the market In
unusual numbers from the South and
Southwest particularly from Alabama,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas and East
ern Oklahoma, where crop conditions are
much Improved, and they report an in
creased confidence among the dry goods
trade.”
GRAIN
CHICAGO, Aug. 25—The grain list
was fractionally lower at the opening
this morning when wheat showed de
clines of %c to %c, corn about %c and
outs %c to Me. Heavier receipts of
wheat in the Northwest and larger
world’s shipments than a year ago of
this grain, coupled with an Increase in
the amount on ocean passage, were the
leading bearish helps. While there was
no rain in Kansas and the temperatures
were somewhat higher in that State, in
other sections of the belt the weather
was cooler. World’s shipments of
corn were smaller, hut there was an
increase in the amount on ocean pass
age.
Provisions were unchanged to 2%c to
5c lower, due to lower hog market at
the yards.

STOCK GOSSIP
The Mexican Northwestern Railway
announces that it would defer payment
of the semi-annual Interest due Septem
ber 1 on its $25,000,000 first mortgage
5 per cent bonds, but would. pay the 3
per cent coupon due on the $8,000,000
prior lien bonds. The disturbed Mexi
can conditions are blamed for the low
ered earning power of the road, which
is one of the Pearson projects.
* * *
Since Little Steel reached 6614 last
week, speculative holdings of this stock
have been bought at that figure, but at
materially lower levels In the hope that
it will return to that high-water mark
in the near future.
* * •
An anomalous movement has been
noted In Chesapeake and Ohio stock
within thn last three months. This
stock declined from 57% to 51%, follow^
ing the announcement three months ago
that the usual dividend had been de
clared by the company’s directors, al
though previous to this action the street
had been deluged with rumors that the
rate would be reduced because of heavy
losses in ret earnings. When the direc
tors met Thursday to act upon the divi
dend again, the stock was selling at
56%, and, immediately after the an
nouncement that the annual rate had
been cut from 5 per cent to 4 per cent,
it advanced to 57%. and the advance be
gun under such suspicions circumstances
continued, Saturday’s elos$ being 59%.
• * *
There are many alleged bulls whn
♦ate that they are not desirous of buy
ing stocks at present. The reason ad
vanced by them for this seemingly con
tradictory view of the securities market
is that the Mexican situation may at
any time become a seriously disturbing
factor, even more so than appeared to
be the case last Tuesday, and that as
long as the possibility of armed inter
vention by the United States is thus
suggested, the only safe side is the out
side. Seemingly, the Mexican temper
ament is something with which Wall
street is unwilling to take a chance.
