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. 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 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. 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. Building Permits. $600—W. C. Wilson.

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. Georgian! Waets==LJse For Results PROPERTY TRANSFERS.

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 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 Can, %; American Locomotive.

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 % and Lehigh Valley 1 % at 153%. New Haven sold around 91%. The tone was active shortly before noon. Call money loaned at 3 per cent. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Stock quotations to 1:30 p in.; 1:30 Prev. Amal. Copper. 77% Am.

D. Potter says; “It looks as if the bulk of tlie selling has been done by the professionals. I believe the short interest has been increased and that slocks will have a numerate rally. Prop 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 dowq 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.

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.

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. NEW YORK COTTON MARKET. ~ I j J [1:30 | Prev. lOpcnllligh I Low|P.M.| Close.

Great Activity and Bull Movement Early in Session Succeeded by Reaction, 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.

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% fa 46%, and May 48% @ 48%.

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.” Grain quotations to noon: Previous High 1,0 w.

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. CORN — _ Receipts .

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.

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." A House, A Home, A Horse, A Cow— “Want Ads” Will Tell You How 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* snown in .Southern mills In operation. Wool Sales Small Because of Holiday BOSTON, Sept. 5.—With most o< 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.
