While the total amount of building permits issued by the city of Atlanta ;his year will be less than $5,000,000, or about half last year’s sum, the la bor payroll will be much greater. Many of the permits for big buildings were issued last year and these were constructed in 1913 or are in course of construction now. The total fig ure last year was $9,987,444. That .mTudes the Healey, Hurt, Produce Row. Y. M. C. A. Buildings and the Winecoff and Ansley Hotels. The figure for December, 1912, was $918,- 490, and the amount for December, 1913, up to date, is $180,276.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Influenced by short covering and better Liverpool ca- .. I1I1UU61I lllc bles than expected, the cotton market,oh.vs ami until the next ginners' report, opened firm to-day with first prices at ‘ * ~ " a net advance of 6 to 15 points from the closing quotations of Monday. Rain was reported over the greater part of the eastern belt with colder weather over the eastern States. There was quite a good deal of de mand on the advance! In addition to covering there was act ive buying by houses with Liverpool connections. ‘There waj some profit- taking, but the market took this selling well. While senti;nent continues against the market the advance was maintained. During the forenoon shorts covered rather urgently, seeing that the market was unexpectedly steady. This second wave of covering carried prices 18 i<> 23 points, or 90 cents to $1.20. a bale, above the previous close. Following are 11 a. m. bids In New York: December. 12.14; January. 11.94; March. 12.18; May, 12.14; July. 12 14. Business was rather light during the afternoon session, but the early advance was firmly maintained through steady accumulation by shorts ami leading spot interests. The scarcity of offerings was based on resistance in Liverpool, which recovered the early decline and closed about 2 points higher, with the tone very steady. The steadiness of the ETnglish market was explained by the renewed activity in Wall street and buying by India. ’ Conservative operators believe the tide has changed and prices will work considerably higher after the holiday period, asserting that the South has liq uidated considerable long cotton ami the short end is extremely large, which will run to cover should trade conditions im prove. The feeling all around is grow ing more optimistic, based on easier money and prospects of better condi tions after New Year’s. STOCKS COITliE n Missouri Pacific Weak—Rumor of Government Suit—U.

This you will find will be one of the most fa vorable factors on the stock market w« have had In a long time. The pres ent administration is aware that a com* servative attitude toward big business will restore confidence, and I uc.uer- stand it will do all in its power to bring about these results. In my opin ion. the present advance is but the be ginning of a prolonged upward move ment." * * • Central Leather declared initial divi dend of $2 on common stock. ] Thursday, December 25, "Christmas,** is a legal holiday.
