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.

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.

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.

Scattered brokers absorbed the rest of it While genera] sentiment Is bearish, it is believed by a great many that the market is in a better shape technically for a rally than It has been for a long time.—J M. Anderosn. * * • Conservative operators believe that the market is oversold and predict a rally before the Government report Is our. * * * Liverpool cables that there is more doing in Manchester. * * * The Census report on ginning to De cember 13 will be published Saturday, at 10 a. m. • • • NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 19.—Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows fair in Tennessee and cloudy over the rest of the belt; few light, scattered showers. Indications are for cloudy weather over the entire belt, general rains, rainstorm in Oklahoma, Arkan sas and North Louisiana, followed by clearing, freezing weather over Sunday. * * * 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.” THE WEATHER. Conditions.

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 cattle.
