Church to Subdivide?—Much Street Work. Quarter of a million dollars in real estate will change hands mice 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 $60,000 on the old Trinity Church property, southwest corner of Whitehall and Trinity avenue. John W. Grant and C. E. Currier are also planning buildings, it is said. “Whitehall needs only regrading,” declared Mr. Smith, “to make it the natural outlet to the entire South Side. That depression at Brotherton street has hurt the street like the North Forsyth street depression hurt that thoroughfare before the fill was made. Once this work is started there will be a great deal of real estate activity, and the section will take on more and more a wholesale aspect. The Idea Is to improve South For syth street along Whitehall, and then the city will have a loop extending from the Junction of Forsyth and Whitehall on th$ south to the junc tion of Forsyth and Peachtree on the REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.

FORREST & GEORGE ADAIR north. Improvements on South For syth will, of course, serve to relieve Peachtree engest ion.” 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 later the citizens hope to extend to South Forsyth street, when 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.

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 rai!- I road tracks into West End. I Work on Whitehall street regrad- i 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 torn 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 $200,000 Peach tree Creek disposal nlant, 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 the stream. Furthermore, to work 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 water that has been overflowing into the low lands. There is a popular idea that the Peachtree Creek region is unde sirable, but residents declare that bad odors are no longer present. WEST END HOME $600 every six months The house cost $10,000 to build, and the lot would be cheap at $5,000 if vacaht.

By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK, Sept. 6 —A bullish ten dency pervaded the stock market at the opening to-day and there was a general upturn, led by Amalgamated Copper, which advanced 1%. Conditions in the copper metal market were responsible for this rise. It is generally believed that the price of this metal is bound to rise because of troubles which have beset copper producing companies along the Mexican border, Tn Mexico and in Michigan, where a strike is In prog ress. The Harrlman issues were strong. Union Pacific advanced 1 point and Southern Pacific made a gain of % The sudden rise, in the rate of call money, due to banks calling loans, did not affect the market. Trading was not in big volume, but the list readily responded to purchases. Among the other gains were American Can. %; American Locomotive, %; American Smelting, %; American Tele phone and Telegraph, L; Baltimore and Ohio, %; St. Paul. %; Ohio Copper, %; Erie. %; Lehigh Valley. %; Missouri Pacific, %; New York.

Canadian Pacific In London was strong on repur chases Considering declines throughout the week. It was evident that at least a moderate recovery was to take place. Under the leadership of the copper stock, professionals played, for a rally, and by the end of the first hour mod erate Improvement took place Union Pacific # was practically the only stock lacking in improvement, selling at a de cline of %. Copper was up % at 77. Steel was up %, Reading -V Canadian % and Lehigh Valley lVi at 153%. New Haven sold around 91%. The tone was active shortly before noon. Call money loaned at 3 per cent.

Potter says: "It looks as if the bulk of the selling has been done by the professionals. I believe the short interest baa 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 bears. 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 arP^by will brng about an advance.—G. D.^»tter. NEW YORK. SepL 5.—In response to poor cables 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 good rains In parts of Texas. Indica tions pointed to unset tied weather and rains over the central and eastern belt; also for southwest Texas, with a good chance for a rainstorm in the central ulf, w’hlch 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 cl<v«e. The feature of the late forenoon trad ing 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, but 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 day this week. Southwestern news continued bullish and leading local bulls argued that spots w’ould not meet this set-back In tne future. This checked offerings con siderably and prices soared back to the early high point. Following are 11 a. m. bids In New York; October. 12.84; December, 12.86; January. 12.78; March, 12.86.

The most important weather item wan 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 eastern 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 lower, 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 gun ners’ report Monday, soon caused re newed easiness NEW ORLEANS COTTON. 2 2 Q.O Sp.

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 seed, the ftouth received over $61,000,000 more in money. Approximately the actual growth was 14,093,000 bales, or 74.000 bales less than the commercial crop. He puts the spindles in the South at 12,819.333, including old. idle and not completed, against 12,318,356 last year. The consumption by Northern and Western mills Is put at 6,587,000 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 as a rule have contained^ the stereotyped statement of "full time.” An increase of 545,000 spindles is shown In Southern mills in operation. Great Activity and Bull Movement Early in Session Succeeded by Reaction. CHICAGO, Sept. 5.—A quieter tone was shown in the late dealings on the Board of Trade, the great activity early giving place to a perion of dullness. During the last half hour business again increased, but activity was at the ex pense of values, and the finish was at net losses of % to 1 cent on wheat; % to lc on corn, and % to %c on oats.

Why. then, does the contiact 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.
