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. Warranty Deeds. $$,500—Alice H. Whitman to James T.

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. Following are 11 a. m. bids in New York; December. 12.75; January, 13.oo; March. 13.63; May. 13 68; July, 13.58.

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 NEW ORLEANS COTTON. | | ; | 1.30 | Prev. lOpen'HIgh} Low!P.M.I Close. . ,12.72 1 £. 75 12.7212.75 12.88-89 12.83 12.90 12.79 12.79 12.98-99 12.99-01 13.02 13.10 12.98 13.98 13.17-18 12.17-19 . 13.10 13.17 13.05 13.05 13.24-25 13.25-27 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.
