EDWIN P ANSLEY FORREST & GEORGE ADAIR An important lease announcement I concerning property 200 feet from the Candler Building- was a feature of Wednesday's real estate news. The Bachelors' Domain, at No. 105 1-2 North Pryor street, owned by Jasper Newton Smith, has been leased for twenty years to J. D.

The concern gets 13,000 square feet of floor space. Judge J. K. llines owns the property. Third Lease Reported. Asa G. Candler, Jr., has leased for the Candler corporation a ground floor space in the Candler Building Annex, No. 104 North Pryor street, to the English Woolen Mills Company This concern has asked permission of the Building Dep*Crtment to erect signs costing nearly $100, under the Massengale Bulletin System. Road S^ves Great Distance. Andrews avenue, the new road being cut through from Peachtree road to, Pace’s Ferry road at a point three- , quarters of a mile north of Peach tree Creek, will soon be ready for paving, and promises to be one of the best thoroughfares in the county. A particular advantage which this road will have will lie in the fact that it saves nearly a mile to town for the Pace’s Ferry road colony, who now travel around by way of Buckhead. The cost of the grading and inci dental work is about $15,000. The Peachtree Heights Park Company has done about 2,800 feet through its property, and John W. Grant has fin ished the other link of 2,900 feet through his property. Several new homes are about to start building on this thoroughfare. The entrance at Peachtree road is 150 feel wide, and the direction Is such that Andrew's avenue is practically a continuation of Peachtree. Land Concern Organized. Atlanta is soon to have another big land corporation, formed for the pur pose of developing private tracts and engaging in kindred enterprises. This i is the Norman-Moody Land Compa ny. which has petitioned the Supe rior Court for a charter. ’Pile incorporators are S. R. Moody And O. 8. Hoegstedt, of .Chicago, and Hughes Spalding, E. Marvin Under wood and Albert Thornton, of At lanta. The capital stock will be $200,- I t*00. King, Spalding & Underwood, ; attorneys, filed the petition. Realty Men Subscribing.

It is quite clear that we are now at a period where price defense is up to spot holders For some reason sentiment in the North is against the market. Many believe that this antagonism has its origin fn the financial policy, announced by Wash ington, tending toward greater eman cipation from financial dependence on New* York. With reserves much reduced, owing to last year’s moderate crop, and a still greater deficiency in supply probable for this season, the situation appears strong enough to force higher values ultimately, provided spot holders realize their position and are able to put up the proper defense. Indications yesterday were good for a generally broadening demand and Liver pool to-day quotes two points higher with sales 12,000 bales. Futures, how ever. were lower, showing the influence of bearish opinions In New York. First trades here were a few points higher, hut weakness in Neyv York checked sup port and soon caused a drop of 8 points. The census report next monday giv ing ginnings to December 1, is at pres ent chiefly relied upon for some suc cess on the bear side. It is said to show between 12,000,000 and 12,100.000 bales ginned to T>ecember 1. versus 11 - 855,000 bales last year and 12,817.000 bales in 1911. This would be about 1.600,000 bales for the period, against L,555,000 bales last year and 1.504.000 hales In 1911. Ginnings last year to December 1. w’ere 87.9 per cent of the total. Ginning returns after this are confidently expected to sustain the claim of unusually rapid ginnings. Bad went tier continues over the western half of the belt, with very heavy rains In Texas. Indications are for unsettled and rainy weather gen erallv for the belt. Mill takings last year for the w'eek were 504.000 hales Spots continue firm at quotations. A large amount of lower grades has been bought lately, and it turns out that most of this cotton is going to Eastern mills NEW ORLEANS COTTON. COTTON GOSSIP Dec. Jan. .

The pre miums for staple cotton are down to a level, which many people are begin ning to regard as an invesiment basis. Forward sales, made for December de livery. art* normally larger than are those made for November delivery. For this reason, men*bants are Inclined to think at least those who believe in a moderate yield and a large require ment so think that by the middle of the month the spot pressure argument so frequently made by the low-price people will avail no longer. "Meanwhile, large takings and large exports, together with shrinking port r*»eelpts. sustain confidence in the belief that the average need is greater than average supply ." Advices from Liverpool and Conti nental ports show that cotton arriving there has much damaged cotton on the hales and pickings are very heavy.

F Hutton & Company: The mar ket lacks snap and acts as If the spec ulative short interest has fairly well evened up. Newburger. Worms & Newman: We expert an upturn In prices Morris H. Rothschild & <’ompany: We expect irregular markets with moderate fluctuations, pending the two Govern ment reports Hayden, Stone * Company: There is a more conservative feeling noticeable in speculative circles. Miller & Company: We still maintain our unfavorable views of the market. STOCK GOSSIP The New York Financial Bureau: "Conservative bullish operations are ex pected to-day. The general attitude Is more hopeful though most operators maintain a trading position. On ail re cession we think standard, issues may be bought for turns." • * • The New’ York Commercial: “Liqui dation seems to have run its cours** as far as important stocks are concerned. * * * The New York Times: “Some weight must be given to the absence of press lng liquidation.” * * • The New York American. "The ad vance is attributed to covering of shorts, rather than any idea that traders see a turn for the better In speculative condi tions.'* • * • The New York Wall Street Journal: "Large interests do not seem to be greatly concerned over the prosi>ecis holding to the conclusion that the mar ket at present discounts the reaction In business." * • * G. T >. hotter says: "Now that the President's message Is out of the way. I think that the good stocks should be bought on all recessions. The short In terest is large and there Is too much company on the bear side at present." The strong undertone to the market is encouraging to the holders of stocks and a market that will not decline on un favorable new’s is usually a purchase. I feel bullish on securities at these prices for the long pull and believe that divi dend paying issues should be conserva tively accumulated.—G. D. Potter. LIVERPOOL GRAIN MARKET.
