REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION NEWS Many Realty Trades With Whitehall Job Quarter of a Million to Sell at Once. Church to Subdivide?—Much Street Work. WEST SIDE BARGAIN. THIS IS on Mitchell street, and we can sell at a price that is considerably lower than anything else in the block. This is a bargain, and we can prove it. Let us show vou. 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 $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 the south to the junc tion of Forsyth and Peachtree on the REAL ESTATE FOR SALE.

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.

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 *stimated 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 q, 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.

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 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 plant, 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- I 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- J sirable. but residents deolare that bid odors are no longer present.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.—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 responsibly 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 Harriman Issues were strong. Union Pacific advanced 1 point and Southern Pacific made a gain of 1 s The sudden rise in the rate of call money, due to banks calling loans, did not affect the market.

Potter says; “It looks as if the hulk of the selling has been done by the professionals, I 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 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 activity will brng about an advance.—G. D. Potter. Li £ cn i » * © w o n 1 ° ' I l O Passage of Amendment to Tax Cotton Futures Causes Tre mendous Selling at Close. NEW YORK, Sept. 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 food rains in parts of Texas, indica tions pointed to unsettled weather and rains over the central and eastern belt; 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 c!r*se. 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 loeal and outside longs who sold out at higher prices. The market continued nervous and was much nar rower than any previous day tills week. Southwestern news continued bullish and leading local hulls argued that spots would not meet this set-back tn tbe future. This checked offerings con siderably and prices soared back to the earlj high point. Following are 11 a. m. bids in New York: October, 12.84; December, 12 86; January. 12.78; March, 12.86.

They re port a fair amount of goods sold in both staple and fancy lines. Fleeces have been more quiet, but territories continue to move while foreign wools show some activity.

In grade the crop has been better, averaging middling to strict middling compured with an average for last year of strict low middling to middling. He puts the averuge price per pound for middling for the year at 12.20 cents compared with 10. *6 lust year, 14.61 year before and 14.37 in 1909-10, and tile average commercial value per bale at $63.59 against $51.45 last year, and $75.69 the year before. The value of the op. 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 South 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 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 ot 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 rerrtarkabln 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 CHICAGO, Sept. 5.—A quieter tone was shown In the late dealings on the Board of Trade, the great activity earlv giving place to a period of dullness*.

COTTON GOSSIP Gwathmey turned a good early and th«* ring trailed on in a narrow market, and contracts quickly tightened up, There has been a lot of buying to-day by sold-out longs. Dallas wires: “Texas clear; light rains at Kingsville, Beevilie and Ama rillo. Oklahoma clear.” NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 5 —Hayward & C:ark: The weather map shows gen erally fair in Texas and Oklahoma; cloudy over rest of the belt; no rain re ported In the Western States, Arkansas or west Tennessee. Rather general rains fell over rest of the belt, the best being in Alabama and portions of Mis sissippi. Indications shows rainstorm formation over the central Gulf, which will cause unsettled rainy weather in lamisiana, Arkansas and parts of east Texas. Rainfall: New Orleans, .52; Meridian, .38, Montgomery, .24; Atlanta, .02; Au gusta. .20; Charleston, .10; Raleigh, .02; Jackson, .12; Birmingham, .30, Annis ton, .78. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: “Light rains, rather general in character fell over the eastern half of the cotton belt, where they were needed, and the contract market lost between 15 and 20 points Thursday. Spots are not in good demand, forward sales are few and far between, and the interior is a seller on a tender basis. Many opinion-molder operators believe the promise is for a 15,000.000-bale crop “The tulent has had two weeks in which to digest and discount crop de terioration and adverse reports no 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 wlt*h the professionals Just as soon as the boom got under way after crop disaster reports began com ing in from the West.” LIVERPOOL GRAIN MARKET.
