Quarter of a Million to Sell at Once.
Church to Subdivide?—Much
Street Work.
Quarter of a million dollars In real
estate will change hands once a pick
is struck in Whitehall street for re
grading, according to J. R. Smith, of
the Smith & Ewing Real Estate
Agency, whose firm has in contract
nearly $200,000 in sales in Whitehall
neighborhoods. In addition, several
handsome buildings will be started
at once, notably the structure which
Charles H. Black will erect at a cost
of about $00,000 on the old Trinity
Church property, southwest corner of
Whitehall and Trinity avenue. John
W. Grant and C. E. Currier are also
planning buildings, it is said.
“Whitehall needs only regrading,”
declared Mr. Smith, "to make it the
natural outlet to the entire South
Side. That depression at Brotherton
street has hurt the street like the
North Forsyth street depression hurt
that thoroughfare before the fill was
made. Once this work is started there
will be a great deal of real estate
activity, and the section will take on
more and more a wholesale aspect.
The idea Is to improve South For
syth street along Whitehall, and then
the city will have a loop extending
from the junction of Forsyth and
Whitehall on the south to the junc
tion of Forsyth and Peachtree on the

north. Improvements on South For
syth will, of course, serve to relieve
Peachtree congestion.”
Since work is scheduled to start
October 15, property owners are busy
fixing prices and prospective buyers
are busy arranging for offers.
Among those active in the work to
fill eight feet at Brotherton street
and cut eight feet at Trinity avenue
are R. R. Otis. George H. Boynton,
Charles H. Black, M. L. Thrower,
George I. Walker, Walker Dunson, T.
B. Gay, R. A. Broyles, Press Huddle
ston. Dr. E. G. Jones and Nathan
Woolf, representing at various times
the Whitehall property owners.
The cost of regrading as far south
as Brotherton is estimated at $47,000,
but latfcr the citizens hope to extend
to South Forsyth street, wjien the
total cost will be $120,000.
Laying Church Plans.
The board of deacons of the First
Presbyterian Church will take up at
its next monthly meeting the ques
tion of selling the church property
on the south side of Marietta street
between Forsyth and Spring streets.
At a recent meeting the suggestion
that the 90-foot frontage be bought
by the church corporation and sub
divided and sold was discussed, and
many of the deacons thought well of
this plan. It has been pointed out that
a subdivision would probably enable
the church to get a higher rate—
probably $2,000 a foot, which has
been asked for the entire property.
A client of a local real estate agen
cy stands ready to give $135,000, or
$1,500 a foot, and the church is
holding out for at least $150,000.
Whether the lot is sold or not, the
Presbyterians expect to go ahead
with their $100,000 church and $10,000
manse at the northwest corner of
Peachtree and Sixteenth streets.
O. B. Stevens In Trade.
O. B. Stevens, formerly a member
of the State Railroad Commission,
has been in another local real estate
deal. He has sold through H. W.
Grant, of the Ralph O. Cochran Real
Estate Agency, a cottage at No. 34f>

Early Street Work Promised.
Property owners along Whitehall
and South Pryor streets are rejoic
ing over the prospect of an early so
lution of their paving and regrading
problems. More than 75 per cent of
property owners on South Pryor be
tween Georgia and Ridge avenues
have signed an agreement to give two
feet of depth for widening the thor
oughfare four feet. County and city
are expected to aid, and the work will
start early In the new year. It is
proposed later to underpass the rail
road tracks into West End.
Work on Whitehall street regrad
ing from Mitchell street to Brother-
ton street will be begun about Octo
ber 15, and the people behind the
project will insist that there be as
little delay as possible. All material
will be put on the ground before the
street Is tom up, to avoid the great
amount of trouble experienced in the
regrading of Peachtree street at Ba
ker.
To Clear Peachtree Creek.
City and county having failed to
agree on the quickest and best wav
to clear Peachtree Creek of debris
in order to protect the $200,00(7 Peach
tree Creek disposal vlant, the former
will go ahead Monday and complete
the job, hiring day laborers. Only a
few days and about $400 will be nec
essary. The County Commissioners
have taken the position that this was
a day labor job and that the man
acled convicts should not be put Into
J the stream. Furthermore, to work
j convicts at this time would necessi
tate removing them from important
work on city sewers.
Property owners are expecting this
improvement to help the neighbor
hood greatly, since it will mean the
building of a deeper channel, which
will carry off most of the w'ater that
has been overflowing into the low
lands. There Is a popular Idea that
the Peachtree Creek region is unde
sirable, hut residents declare that bid
odors are no longer present.
WEST END HOME
12-ROOM RESIDENCE on extra large lot in SPLENDID NEIGH-
HOOD in West End, can be had for $10,000; cash, $500 and
$500 every six months. The house cost $10,000 to build, and the
lot would be cheap at $5,000 if vacant. Bargains like this are sel
dom on the market.

Cotton Futures Causes Tre
mendous Selling at Close,
NEW YORK, Sept 6.—In response
v P? or ca hleH and continued selling by
the big spot Interests, the cotton mar
ket opened barely steady to-day with
prices at a net decline of 7 to 15 points
from Thursday's final.
There was a good deal of buying on
the opening by sold-out longs, but the
market turned suddenly weak on heavy
selling by the ring and Wall street.
Liverpool was said to lack aggressive
ness on the buying side.
The official weather map showed some
£°°d rains in parts of Texas. Indica
tions pointed to unsettled weather and
rains over the central and eastern bell;
also for southwest Texas, with a good
chance for a rainstorm in the central
ulf, which is likely to move westward.
At the end of the first hour prices
showed a net decline of 2 to 18 points
from the previous olwe.
The feature of the late forenoon trad-
ng was the selling by the leading spot
Interests and by Liverpool, much of It
undoubtedly on straddles; stop orders
were reached under 12 75 for January,
hut on the dip to 70 there was good
buying by local and outside longs who
sold out at higher prices. The market
continued nervous and was much nar
rower than any previous dav this week.
Southwestern news continued bullish
and leading local bulls argued that
spots would not meet this set-hack in
the future. This checked offerings con
siderably and prices soared back to the
early high point.

nual outing of the trad^ a half holi

The result is clearly seen In the re
duced sales reported by leading

market Is noted. Worsted mills have
been the principal buyers. They re
port a fair amount of goods Bold in
both staple and fancy lines. Fleeces
have been more quiet, but territories

HAYWARD A CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6.—Liverpool
came in poor with futures about 6 points
lower than due. Spots 5 points lower,
sales 7,000 hales.
The most Important weather item was
the good rain again over night in Mis
sissippi and Alabama. Indications are
for further and more general rains in
the Central States with good prospects
for precipitation In Arkansas, Tennes
see and the e&flURn portion of Texas;
also as a rainstorm formation over the
central Gulf districts is likely to move
further westward.
The market opened about 12 points
low’er, rallied on buying on the bullish
crop report from Oklahoma and west
ern Arkansas, but support was not as
uniform as early in the week and real*
izing. in anticipation of a bearish ginn-
nerp’ report Monday, soon caused re
newed easiness
NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6.—Secretary
Hester’s annual report says:
The weight of the crop was 4 27-100
pounds per bale heavier, the Increased
weight being equivalent to an additional
118,000 bales of last year’s growth,
and practically every vestige of the
crop nas been used and the mills have
had to trench on the visible and In
visible supply left over from last sea
son to the extent of 726,000 bales.
In grade the crop has been better,
averaging middling to strict middling
compared with an average for last year
of strict low middling to middling.
He puts the average prloe per pound
for middling tor the year at 12.20 cents
compared with 10.46 last year, 14.01
year before and 14.37 In 190y-10, and
the average commercial value per bale
at $63.59 against $51 45 last year, and
$75.69 the year before.
The value of the crop, Including the
seed. Is put at $998,425,659, against
$937,280,764, and attention Is called to
the fact that, for a crop embracing
1,971,311 bales less cotton and 893.000
tons less Heed, the South received over
$61,000,000 more In money.
Approximately the actual growth
was .4,093,000 bales, or 74,000 bales
less than the commercial crop.
He puts the spindles In the Soxith at
12,819,333, Including old. Idle and not
completed, against 12,318,366 last year
The consumption by Northern and
Western mills is put at 5,587,000 bales,
against 5,433.000 last year.
He puts the world's consumption of
American cotton at 14,903,000, an in
crease over last year of 388,000, and an
Increase over the year before last of
2.849,000.
Mr. Hester says that American mills
have had another year of remarkable
activity, both North and South; the
number of bales used having been great
er than ever before. In the South,
which has been the most active, mill
replies an a rule have contained the
stereotyped statement of “full time.”
An Increase of 545.COO spindles Is
shown in Southern mills In operation.
Great Activity and Bull Movement
Early in Session Succeeded
by Reaction.
CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—A quieter tone
was shown in the late dealings on the
Board of Trade, the great activity early
giving place to a period of dullness.
During the last half hour business again

pense of values, and the finish was at
net losses of % to 1 cent on wheat;
J* on corn, and % to %c on oats.
World 8 shipments of wheat were light

STOCK GOSSIP
G. D. Potter says: “It looks as If the
bulk of the selling has been done by
the professionals. 1 believe the short
interest has been increased and that
stocks will have a moderate rally.
Crop damage reports will have their In
fluence, but should corn decline a few
points it would help the stock market.”
• • •
The stock market has a strong un
dertone and an advancing tendency,
due largely to covering of short con
tracts by the hears. The market would
not go down any further on reports of
more damage to the corn crop, and a
market that will not do down on un
favorable news usually advances It
looks as If present prices have dis
counted existing conditions and that
any Increased activity will brng about
an advance.—G. Potter.

The New Orleans Tlmes-Democ’-at
says: “Light rains; rather general In

15 and 20 points Thursday. Spots are

few and far between, and the interior } i**”®? 1 * patent),
is a seller on a tender basis. Many
opinion-molder operators believe the
promise is for a 15,000,000-bale crop.
“The talent has had two weeks In
which to digest and discount crop de
terioration and adverse reports n'o long
er exert acute Influence. Why, then,
does the contract market seem able to
take good care of Itself at a time when
many cautious traders are convinced
the supports are thin and the price
ground unsafe? In the first place, New
York needs a protective stock, and the
talent there is far more concerned with
the problem of attracting actual bales
than with the ultimate fear of the mar
ket. By driving contract values above
spots cotton is attracted. Hence the
activity of some big New York opera
tors in behalf of the long side. Out
siders who always like the bull side best
Joined forces wlfii the professionals
Just as soon as the boom got under way
after crop disaster reports began com
ing in from the West.”
