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 $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

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. Cochran Real

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 undenpass 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.

GREAT STRENGTH RULING OF SENATE
The Market Refuses To Go Down
on Bad Crop News and Shorts
Cover—Strong Undertone.
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
coprper 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 Harriman Issues were strong.
Union Pacific advanced 1 point and
Southern Pacific made a gain of Mi
The sudden rise In the rate of call
money, due to banks culling loans, did
not affect the market.
Trailing 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, %; Baltimore and
Ohio, %; St. Paul, Ohio Copper, %;
Eric. %; Lehigh Valley, %; Missouri
Pacific. Mi; New York, New Haven and
Hartford, *4; Northern Pacific, %
Reading, %; United States Steel com
mon, %.
The curb was firm.
Americans in London we r e steady al
gains over New York parity. 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 %, Canadian
% and Lehigh Valley 1*4 at 153%. New
Haven sold around 91%. The tone was
active shortly before noon. Call money
loaned at 3 per cent.
There were a number of recoveries
in the last hour and the tone was firm.
Union Pacific was the strongest and
made the best gain, advancing 1% over
the midday range. Southern Pacific,
Reading St. Paul, Amalgamated Cop
per and American Can ranged upward
from fractions to over a point on the
day. Chino Copper was 1% up on the
day. The market closed active. Gov
ernment bonds were unchanged; other
bonds firm.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Passage of Amendment to Tax
Cotton Futures Causes Tre
mendous Selling at Close.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—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 unsettled weather and
rains over the central and eastern belt;
also for southwest Texas, with a good
chance foi* a rainstorm In the central
ulf, which Is likely to move west ward.
At the end of the first hour prices
showed a net decline of 2 to 18 points
from the previous dwe.
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,
hut on the dip to 70 there was good
buying by local a«d 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 would not meet this set-hack in
the future. This checked offerings con
siderably and prices soared back to the
early high point.

To Clear Peachtree Creek.
City and county having failed to
agree on the quickest and best wav
tn 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 ln‘o
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
I 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. hut residents declare that bid
odors are no longer present.

Wool Sales Small
Because of Holiday
BOSTON, Sept. 5.—With most of
the wool houses closed for the an
nual outing of the trade, a half holi
day Saturday and a full one on Mon
day, the past week has been broken.
The result Is clearly seen in the re
duced sales reported by leading
houses. No particular change in the
market is noted. Worsted mills have
been the principal buyers. 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. Receipts in

SMALLER COTTON CROP
YIELDS GREATER RETURNS
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 5.—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 has been used and the mills have
had to trench on the visible and in
visible supply left over front 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 price per pound
for middling for the year at 12.20 cents
compared with 10.tt> last year. 14.61
year before and 14.37 in 1909-10, 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 bules 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 hales, or 74,000 bales
less than the commercial crop.
He puts the spindles in the South at
12,819,333. including old, idle and 1 t
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 of 388,0'X), 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 ac*4vity early
giving place to a period of dullness.
During the last half hour business again
increased, but activity was at the ex
pense of values, an<j the finish was at
net losses of % to 1 cent on wheat;
% to lc on corn, and % to %c on oats.
World's shipments of wheat were light
Cash demand was less urgent than on
the previous day.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 5.—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 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, hut support was not as
uniform as early in the week and real
izing, in anticipation of a bearish ginn-
ners* report Monday, soon caused re
newed easiness

PORT RECEIPTS.
The following table shows receipts at
the ports to-day compared with the
same day last year:
G. D. Potter says: “It looks as if the
bulk 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.

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 und 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 taient 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 lih*e the bull side best
Joined forces with the professionals
Just as soon as the boom got under way
after crop disaster reports began coin
ing in from the West.”
MODERN-MILLER GRAIN REPORT
ST. LOUIS. Sept. 5.-Weather this
week was aifaln too dry and hot for
much work In the fields, and there was
further delay in the preparation of soil
for fall seeding of wheat. There was
a falling off in the movement of win
ter wheat to market, and those who are
In a position to hold are not inclined
to sell at present prices. Reports indi
cate that considerable wheat Is being
fed to stock. In fact, it appears that
morewhe at will he fed to animals this
season than ever before, especially as
weather conditions unfavorable for corn
