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 BrothcTton
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

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 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
Estate Agency, a cottage at No. 346
Chestnut street, the buyer being Eliz
abeth Spivey. The lot is 25 by 100
feet and the price was $600.

Early Street Work Promised.
Property owners along Whitehall
and South Pryor streets are rejolc
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 way
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
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.

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 responaibU
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, in 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 %
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

The curb was firm.
Americans in London were steady at
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 %. Uanadian

NEW YORK, Sept 6.—In response
to poor cables afid 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 oflflclaLweatner map showed some
good rains irt 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
ult', 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 close.
Following are 11 a. m. bids in New
York: October. 12.84; December, 12.86;

Estimated cotton receipts:

New Orleans 800 to 1,000 549
Galveston 14,500 to 15.500 20,234
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 would not meet this set-back in
the future. This checked offerings con
siderably and prices soared back to the
early high point.

DAILY COTTON LETTER.
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 5. Liverpool
came in poor with futures about 6 points
lower than due. Spots 5 points lower,
sales 7.000 bales.
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, but 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

Great Activity and Bull Movement
Early in Session Succeeded

CHICAGO, Sept. 5 — An accumulation
of overnight buying orders in the hands
of commission houses was responsible
for a wiki opening in corn this morning
on the Board of I rade, September rang
ing from 77 to 77%. December 73% to
74, and May at 75 to 75%, the outside
figure being the highest on the crop
with gains of % to %.
There were heavy sales for profits by
longs on the bulge. News from abroad
was bearish, Argentina shipments ag
gregating 7.285,000 bushels. Liverpool
was % to %d lower when this market
opened, due to the liberal experts.
Local receipts were 345 ears.
Wheat was not influenced by the
strength in corn and the firmer cables
from abroad, and ranged about %e low
er Expectations were for smaller
world's shipments, the combined ex
ports from Argentina. Australia and
India being only 2,000,000 bushels.
Local arrivals were 132 cars, against
270 cars, while Northwestern markets
received 676 cars, against 638 cars last
year.
oafs were easier with September sell
ing between 43%@)43%; December, 45%

Provisions advanced in sympathy with
a gain of 10fa’15c In hogs at the yards.
Western points received 43,900. against
34.600 last year.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says;
“Continued hot and dry weather over
the great winter wheat country is caus
ing considerable delay In plowing for the
next crop and promises to become a
very important factor in the w'heat sit
uation. There appears to be no top to
the corn market and the higher price.s go
the greater the bullish enthusiasm be
comes. Prices have reached a point
where some traders are afraid to fol
low the market further, and a few of
the big commission houses are advising
against purchases and also add that con
ditions are such that it. is not wise to
sell the market short.”

MILLER-COTTER COTTON LETTER.
MEMPHIS, Sept. 5. — Reactionary sen
timent ran strong for a time to-day,
but fair demand has been in evidence
from a variety of sources--some for
spinners. A break in present weather is
denoted for the week-end or by Mon
day which, if accompanied by general
rains would furnish basis for a decline
in prices. But after the decline, which
has already taken place, sellers are not
aggressive. Best people are waiting j
to see what consumers attitude will be
regarding the real cotton.

MODERN-MILLER GRAIN REPORT.
ST. LOUIS. Sept. 5.—Weather this'
week was again 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 b«-ing
fed to stock. In fact, it appears that
morewhe at will be fed to animals this
season than ever before, especially as
weather conditions unfavorable for corn
an<j all fodder crops.

The New Orleans Times-Demoerat
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, forwurd sales are
few and far between, and the interior
is a seller on a tender basis. Many
opinion-niolder 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 no long
er exert acute Influence. Why, then,
does the contract market seem aide to
take good care of Itself at a time when
many cautious trailers 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 actuul 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 Dull side best
joined forces wifTi the professionals
just as soon as the boom got under way
after crop disaster reports began com
ing in from the West."

Hester’s Report Shows South Gd
Greater Return in 1912-13
Than in 1911-12,
NEW OUT.EANS. Sept 5 -Secretary
Hester’s annual report says:
The weight of the crop was 4 27-104
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 tha
crop baa been used and the mills hav4
had to trench on the visible and ini
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 yea*
of strict low middling to middling.
He puts the average price per pound
for middling for the year at 12.20 cent?
compared with 10.16 last year, 14.61
year before and 14.37 in 1909-10, and
the average commercial value per bale
at $63.59 against $61.45 last year, and
$75.69 the year before.
The value of the crop, including thg
seed, is put at $998,425,659, against
$987,280,764. and attention is called td
the fact, that, for a crop embracing
1,971,311 bales less cotton and 893,000
tons lens seed, the South received oveif
$61,000,000 more In money.
Approximately the actual growth
was 14,093.000 bales, or 74,000 bale*
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 balegq
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 ol
2,849,000.
Mr. Hester says that American mil 18
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 rale have contained the
stereotyped statement of "full time.”
An increase of 545,000 spindles i*
