REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION NE WS 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. Warranty Deeds. $8.500—Alice H. Whitman to James T.

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.

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.
