Grant Property Goea to United Cigar
Stores—County Is Busy With
Road Work.
Talk or skyscraper improvements
for the Grant property at the south
east corner of Peachtree street and
Auburn avenue has been dispelled, for
'he time being at least. Mr. Grant
announced Monday the re-lease * if
this central property to the United
01 gar Stores for a term of five years,
the consideration being withheld.
The price is understood to have
bean close to $10,000 a year, or a to-
fal of $.>0,000. The store formerly oc
cupied by the A. K. Marcus nothing
• 'ompany, in the same block, was
l.-ased some time ago to the Thomp
son Restaurant Company, of Chicago,
for $700 a month, or $M00 a year,
and the Grant property, being a cor
ner, 16 held to be worth more. Base
ment is included in the lease.
The upstairs has been used by the
Haverty Furniture Company as an
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
Realty to Boom Soon.
Although nearly everybody who has
anything to sell is selling it now in
the few days before Christmas, At
lanta real estate dealers state that
because ihe holidays are approaching]
their business has been rather quiet.
They expect, however, that a boom
will be started about the middle of
January. Real estate doesn’t come in
the list 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
lias 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
the failure or nulls to maintain their
position caused the cotton market to
I open weak to-day and first prices were
hi a net (let-line of 8 to 13 points from
I Saturday's close.
The feature of the trading 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 ore inclined to tlie
bull side 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 lo come. Within half an hour
the market had widened its decline to
16 to 22 points. March was tin- heavi
est pressed option on the list, dropping
to 12.66 for a not 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
vveat >er with general rainfall over the
entire cotton belt east of the Missis
sippi. Rain was also reported over the
middle West to-dav.
Bears had everything their own way
during the late forenoon. Some of the
spot houses and the uptown crowd
joined in on the selling side offerings,
which were extremely heavy but met
with slow absorption Wall street and
some of the sellers of Saturday bought.
There was also some scattered trade
buying. But the original bull forces
were not In evidence and those who
bought on the advance Friday threw
their lines upon the murket. About 60,-
000 bales of long cotton was liquidated,
which make weakened the technical
position of the market considerable.
However, tin* bulls were not inclined to
make forward steps and keep on the
"waiting and watching'' side. As a re
sult of the liquidation, the list contin
ued on Us downward Journey, 1 >ecctnbcr
dropping to 12.63, January 12.44 and
March receded to 12.60. while May
slumped to 12.58.
Advices from abroad are more op
timistic than on this side. Gables tell
of continued demand for spots. The
feature of the declining market is the
stedineas of spot cotton. The cause of
the market now depends on consumption
and the spit situation. The consump
tion supply distribution report was
about as generally expected and had
litlle or no influence on quotations.
Following are 11 a. m. bids In New
York: December, 12.75; January, 13.55;

HAYWARD &. CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 15. Liverpool
this miming showed the full decline of
1.0 poin n 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; sales. 8.000 bales.
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 Ik to be 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 facts, which de
termine values such as the supply sit
uation 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 then in
other years, and the short interest con
sequently more exposed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. A Census

Cotton Gossip
Sterret Tate says: “You are just be
ginning to feel the effect of lion-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. Bachman 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 of 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 thn lead either
in 'bulling' or 'bearing theinarket.
It is significant that with the general
public mostly entertaining pessimistic
Ideas about business conditions, cotton
has held its own around present prices
for several weeks. This has discour
aged bearish activities and has kept
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
has been satisfactory to him and he
has not refused any bid for his product
which looked reasonable. While prices
might work slightly lower 1 believe con
ditions are in favor of higher prices
eventually and advise against selling on
breaks.
