No Skyscraper Now
On Peachtree Corner;
Leased for Five Years
3rant Property Goes to United Cigar
Stores—County Is Busy With
Road Work.
| Talk of skyscraper improvements
the Grant property at the south-
kj corner of Peachtree street and
lurn avenue has been dispelled, for
|tim< being it least. Mr. Grant
puneeJ Mondav the re-lease of
central property to the United
Ir Stores for a term of five years,
^consideration being withheld,
he price Is understood to have
1 close to $10,000 a year, or a to
ff $50,000. Tne store formerly oc-
Id by the A. E. Marcus Clothing
pany, in the same block, was
r d some time ago to the Thomp-
DRestaurant Company, of Chicago,
$700 a month, or $8,400 a year,
the Grant property, being' a cor-
£r. is 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
this lease the policy of taking cor
ners only.
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 the 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
has been paved to Howell station.
Considerable work has been ac
complished on Butler street and
Highland avenue. The roads of tlie
Adamson district also are being re
paired.

Unsatisfactory Liverpool cables and
the failure of mills to maintain their
position caused * the cotton market to
j open weak to-day and first prices were
at a net decline of 8 to 13 points from
Saturday's close.
The feature of the trading was the
absence of bull support which was ap
parent Friday. The general feeling
i among the local traders is more bear-
| ish than for months and this is re-
j striding those who are inclined to the
bull side to come into the market.
After the call the trend continued
i downward. The ring commission
j 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
I prices to come. Within half an hour
j 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
tfom 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
weaiher with general rainfall over the
entire cotton belt east of the Missis
sippi. Rain was also reported over the
middle West to-day.
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 market. About 50.-
000 bales of long cotton was liquidated,
which make weakened the technical
position of the market considerable.
However, the 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 its downward Journey, December
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. Cables tell
of continued demand for spots. The
feature of the declining market Is the
stediness 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
little or no influence on quotations.

HAYWARD 4 CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, L>ec. 16. Liverpool
this nitming showed the full decline of
10 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 is 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 hull move Is so much at variance
with the fundamental farts, 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 he given up at sacrifice
prices. The available protection for the
future markets is much leas than in
other years, and the short interest con
sequently more exposed.

Sterret Tate says: "You are just be
ginning to feel tlie 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. 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 he at the mo
ment any one to take th*-. lead either
in ‘bulling’ or ‘hearing’ themarket.
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 be
ascertained The farmer on the other
hand has sold Ids 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 I believe con
ditions are in favor of higher prices
eventually and advise against selling on
breaks.

The New York Financial Bureau:
‘The buying is much better than the
selling '
• * •
The New York Times: “The money
market outlook for the next two weeks
is measurably improved."
• • •
The New York Herald: "What ts
called good buying is in evidence."
• * •
The New York American: "The most
powerful financial interests are not yet
ready to recommend the purchase of
full lines of stock, but good securities
are intrinsically cheap"
• • •
The New York Wall Street Journal:
'In conservative quarters it Is aseerted
that New Haven Is now selling under
value."
• • •
The New York Post: "Whether the
seemingly close approach of the bank
ing and currency bill’s enactment has
had a hand in the suspicious attitude
of the market is debatable."
• * *
G. D. Potter says: "The bank state
ment was better than expected and
should insure us of easy rates for
money over the first of the year. The
remarks of one of the Interstate Com
merce Commissioners regarding advance
freight rates was rather discourag
ing and may give the bears courage to
attempt another raid on values to-day.
am inclined to feel bullish on Union
Pacific and Reading for the long pall,
but bearish on American Telegraph and
Telephone."
