REAL ESTATE AND
C ONSTRUCTION NE WS
No Skyscraper Now
On Peachtree Corner;
Leased for Five Years
Grant Property Goes to United Cigar
Stores—County Is Busy With
Road Work.
talk of skyscraper improvements
for the Grant property at the south
east corner of Peachtree street and
Auburn avenue has been dispelled, for
the time being at least. Mr. Grant
announced Monday the re-lease of
this central property to the United
Cigar Stores for a term of five years,
the consideration being withheld.
The price is understood to have
been close to $10,000 a year, or a. to
tal of $50,000. The store formerly oc
cupied by the A. E. Marcus Clothing
Company, in the same block, was
leased some time ago to the Thomp
son Restaurant Company, of Chicago,
for $700 a month, or $8,400 a year!
and the Grant property, being a cor
ner, is held to be worth more. Base
ment is included in the lease.
The upstairs has been used by the
Haverty Furniture Company as in
annex, but it, too, is to be re-leased.
The Grant corner was bought by
Mr. Grant some years ago at the rate
of $8,200 a front foot, at that time a
record for Atlanta property. Mr.
Grant some time ago laid plans for
a substantial improvement, but he ex
pects to wait at least five years. The
United Cigar Stores has continued in
this lease the policy of taking cor
ners only.
Realty to Boom Soon.
Although nearly everybody who lias
anything to sell is selling it now in
the few days before Christmas, At
lanta real estate dealers state that
because the, holidays are approaching
their business has been rather quiet.
They expect, however, that a boom
will be started about the middle
January. Real estate doesn’t come in
the Hat of Christmas gifts, they say.
Several big improvements on the
roads of Fulton County have just
been completed. A number of streets
have been paved and sewers built.
The- county has spent many thou
sand dollars in improvements and
will spend many more in the short
time before the new year begins.
The paving on Georgia avenue from
Grant Park to South Pryor street has
been completed and the work of
building the McDaniel street sewer
has been finished. The county has
gone the limit in the paving of
Peachtree street, having carried it to
the county line, and Marietta street
has been paved to Howell station.
Considerable work has been ac
complished on Butler street and
Highland avenue. The roads of the
Adamson district also are being re
paired.

Unsatisfactory Liverpool cables and j
the failure of mills to maintain their
position caused the cotton market to
open weak to-day and first prices were
nt a net decline of 8 to 13 points from
Saturday's close
The feature of the trailing was the
absence of bull support which was ap
parent Friday. The general feeling
among the local traders is more bear
ish than for months and this Is re
stricting those who are inclined to the
bull aide to come into the market.
After the call the trend continued
downward. The ring commission
houses were heavy sellers. Some ob
servers thought that liquidation by tired
and discouraged longs was in progress
and everywhere the talk was of lower
prices to come. W ithin half an hour
the market had widened its decline to
16 to 22 points. March was the heavi
est pressed option on the list, dropping
to 12.66 for a net loss of $1.10 a bale.
The most discouraging feature of the
break was the lack of resistive power
from the bull crowd. About the best
buying; came from a few scattered spot
interests.
Spot sales in Liverpool were again
small. The weather map showed cloudy
weather with general rainfall over the
entire cotton belt east of the Missis
slppl. Rain was also reported over the
middle West to-dav.

HAYWARD <& CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 15. — Liverpool
{his m< rning showed the full decline of
10 poir, h due on futures, which was
very disappointing in two ways. It
shows the power of the prevailing sen
timent In New York and the lack of
Independent strength In other quarters.
Spots 11 points lower: sa'es. 8.000 hales.
The further break of 20 points at the
opening in New York this morning can
only serve to convince Europe that
there is no adequate defense on this
side and a bad effect in slowing up de
mand is to he feared.
Our market opened about 17 points
lower and then rallied 10 points, but
had finally to submit to the control of
New York and broke to 12.99 for March.
This bull move is so much at variance
with the fundamental facie, which de
termine values such as the supply sit
nation that opinion In general is not in
sympathy with it. but the leading finan
cial centers seem to be the governing
power at present.
The action of spot holders is very im
portant under present conditions, as it
will decide whether or not a valuable
supply is to be given up at sacrifice
prices. The available protection for the
future markets is much less than ill
other years, and the short interest con
sequently more exposed

Sterret Tate says: “You are just be
ginning to feel the effect of non-sup
port. exhaustion of buying power and
general liquidation and self protection
I think the decline Is just started, but
still believe that the cotton will sell
near of above 15 cents before long. The
advance may not come in the very near
future, but it will come sooner or later.”
• * *
H. F. Baclunan says: “The bull crowd
has been very Inactive owing to the dis
turbed condition of business of the
country. American mills have not. been
buying liberally ol late, but the sales
in Liverpool have been on a good scale,
and sentiment "across the pond” Is
much more optimistic than in America.
“.Speculation is very restricted and
there does not seem to be at the mo
ment any one to take the lead either
In ‘bulling’ or bearing themarket.
It is significant that with the general
public mostly entertaining pessimistic
ideas about business conditions, cotton
lias held its own around present prices
for several weeks. This has discour
age.! bearish activities and has kfcpt
sellers close to the shore.
• • *
“American mills are Inclined to buy
raw materials only sparingly on declines
until the effect of the new tariff can l>e
ascertained. The farmer on the other
hand has sold his crop freely. The price
nan been satisfactory to him and he
has not refused any bid for his product
which looked reasonable While prices
might work slightly lower I believe con
ditions are In favor of higher prices
eventually and advise against selling on
breaks.

I am inclined to feel bullish on Union

G. D. Potter says: "The sagging
tendency of the market was attributed
to many causes, but principally to Com
missioner Prouty’s remarks regarding
prospects of an increase in freight

if we have too much company on the
bear side. I believe that stocks are en
titled to a good rally on the technical
