CONSTRUCTION NE WS
Big Development of
Piedmont Ave, Tract;
Streets 80 Feet Wide
Woodland Hills Company to Begin
Operations January 1—Loan Money
Rate Drops to 6 Per Cent.
One of the biggest developments
jr: years of suburban property will be
h _ un about January 1 on Piedmont
venue, at Cheshire Bridge road.
The Woodland Hills Company will
up a large tract of land, widen-
.. Piedmont avenue to 80 feet. The
re Bridge road has already
widened to 80 feet for some dis-
* east of Piedmont and will be
iued at this width to Peachtree
i.
iland avenue will be connected
the Cheshire Bridge road, this
having already been deeded
• •’illy by the Woodland Hills Com-
my and the Land Lot 3 Realty
i npany. Highland avenue will con-
ii. ; with the Cheshire Bridge road at
a width of 100 feet.
This connecting link will enable
'he people who 4ivea in Inman Park
• . go out Highland avenue into the
Cheshire Bridge road and on to the
proposed Oglethorpe University on
Peachtree without having to come
into Peachtree at Ponce DeLeon ave
nue It will also open up some of the
finest territory around Atlanta.
The company is composed of B. F.
Burdett, president; G. M. McKenzie,
vice president; S. E. Davidson, sec
retary, and W. J. Dabney, treasurer.
The directors are W. E. Worley, E.
C. Callaway, E. C. Luckie and D. W.
Liddell.
The concern has been granted a
charter by the Superior Court, and
has a permit from the Water Board
to lay a water main from Ansley
Park out Rock Springs avenue into
Piedmont avenue, and along the
Cheshire Bridge road and Piedmont
avenue to Peachtree road, making a
complete water circuit.
The proposed water main from
Ansley Park to Cheshire Bridge road
will be an eight-inch one, while the
main from Cheshire Bridge road to
Peachtree will be six inches.
O. F. Kauffman has been engaged
by the company to make the survey
and look after the grading of the
roads.
Money at 6 Per Cent.
No greater sign of prosperity is evi
dent in Atlanta to-day than the
availability of money loans at smaller
rates of interest than formerly. Un
til recently it was almost impossible
to secure loans at less than 8 per cent.
One broker now has $10,000 to lend
at 6 per cent, and another has $27,000
to lend at 7 per cent. *
Improving Eleventh Street.
The County Board has begun the
resurfacing with macadam and an
oil preparation West Eleventh street,
between the Peachtrees. The county
has put twelve men to work on the
Job.

Dll EVE OF REPORT
Heavy Sales, Pending Ginning
Figures and Lack of Support.
Responsible for Weakness,
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—In sympathy
with better Liverpool cables, the cot
ton market opened steady to-day, first
prices being 2 up to 1 point lower
than Thursday's final. There was very
little snap to the market and trading
was very light. The local crowd seemed
inclined to sell. There was considera
ble selling of January and March. All
In all, the majority of iradiog was
swapping one position for another,
evening up over Saturday’s Census re
port.
After the call bears seized the oppor
tunity to sell on the hard spots and
prices broke sharply, showing a net de
cline of 4 to 12 points from the open
ing within fifteen minutes after the
movement started.
General sentiment continues extreme
ly bearish, but the majority predict an
upturn before the ginning figures are
posted.
The selling looked to be largely far
ther liquidation by commission houses.
It is said that'considerable long cotton
has been liquidated to-day. After this
selling was over the market rallied a
few points. The only apparent support
was attributed to short covering and
buying by Liverpool brokers, which ral
lied prices a few points, but the advance
was met with increased offering, result
ing in prices dropping about 10 points
from the previous close.
The volume of business to-day was
only moderate owing to the ginning fig
ures, which will be published to-mor
row at 10 a. m. The general feeling Is
that the report will be bearish and bring
out selling by those who have covered
during the past few daysj.
At the close the market was easv
with prices at a net decline of 4 to 11
points from the final quotations of
Thursday.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 19.—A canvass
among our correspondents as to gin
ning and field conditions sustains the
argument that ginning is much nearer
completion than usual at this time of
the season. Outside of portions of the
eastern States and the delta section, an
average of only about 2 per cent re
mains to pass through the gins. In
the delta section the unginned portion
is generally estimated around 6 per cent.
There was a rumor current that a
standard authority on ginning says that
late ginning returns represent *98 per
cent of the total.
Liverpool came In good and the large
spot sales, 12,000 bales, were particu
larly encouraging. Senator Clarke’s
speech was encouraging; inasmuch as it
sugegsts Government assistance against
attempts by private interests to accen
tuate the financial stringency.
An unfavorable development overnight
was the acute weakness of the foreign
bourses, mainly the result of Intimate
connection with New York and the pes
simistic feeling In that quarter.
Our market opened slightly easier
and weakened further during the first
hour on selling and absence of support,
based on expectations of bearish Cen
sus figures to-morrow.
New York wired: “Yesterday's buy
ing and advance was to have ammuni
tion to sell on and after the Census
report. Feeling continues aggressively
bearish.”
After the close of Liverpool, bear
pressure appeared in the Northern mar
ket, based on the smaller forwardings
from Liverpool to mills and March here
dropped to 12.82.
Spots steady at quotations, although
buyers seem inclined to hold off over
to-morrow’s report.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
says: “To-day or to-morrow the
United States Senate is expedted to
pass the currency bill, which is de
signed to in part at least dethrone New
York as the sole source and inspiration
of the American money power. The
House has passed the bill, and the ac
tion of the Senate, while subject to
change by the Conference Committee
of both Houses, should nevertheless
clear the financial atmosphere by Indi
cating the extent to which decentraliza
tion of the money power is to be car
ried. The cotton market should be the
gainer in that there will be less rea
son for studied pessimism in New York,
therefore, prospective buyers of cotton
should hear less about the dark side of
things in general.
“Yesterday’s cotton market seemed
to be scraping bottom, but there are
no bull enthusiasts now, and friendly
speculation did not take hold. How
ever, sellers showed less enterprise, and
the market exhibited a decidedly bet
ter undertone. Meanwhile, trading is
In very small volume, and will likely
continue so until after the holidays.”
G. D. Potter says: “The stock mar
ket acts remarkably well and shows
every Indication of going higher. The
outstanding short interest is very large
and I believe the bears will begin to
cover on any further advance. After
the first of the year the currency bill
will be a law and we will see money
accumulate in financial centers. These
are all bullish factors and should stimu
late some Investment buying of stocks j No.
of the better class.”

MODERN MILLER GRAIN REPORT
BT. LOUIS, Dec. 19.—More season
able weather prevails in the winter
wheat belt, but there Is still an almost
entire absence of snow protection and
the weather has not been cold enough
to check the rank growth of the plant,
which has been the cause of complaints
In some sections it is claimed the rank
growth is matted about tlie roots suf
ficiently to take the place of snow as
a protection to the plant and over the
entire region the plant Is so vigorous
that the cold will have to be both sud
den and severe to do serious damage.
The green bug Is spreading so rapidly
in parts of Texas as to cause the Agri
cultural Department of that State anx
iety and complaints of presence of Hes
sian fly continues from many sections.
The plant, however, appears to ho in
nearly perfect condition and the acre
age unusualy large.
ATLANTA LIVE STOCK MARKET.
(By W. H. White, Jr., of the White Pro
vision Co.)
Cattle receipts normal, with the as
sortment uneven and prices irregular,
the range being steady to quarter high
er, with better grades In strongest de
mand Trade has been reasonably ac
tive during the week, but will likely drift
into dullness with the approach of the
holiday season, especially on medium
and plain stock. After January 1 re
ceipts are expected to be lighter, but of
a better grade, and higher price levels
will doubtless be reached.
Hogs continue In good supply, with
prices barely steady to a fraction lower.
The following quotations represent
ruling prices of good quality of beef
