AN exchange indulges in the following
sensible reflections regarding ladies' head
dresses at the theatre: "If a man were to
take his seat at any place of public gather
ing or amusement and keep his hat on he
would be hissed, or hustled out or handed
to the police. But women, night after
night, 60 with the most prepOsterous pile of
rigging on top Of their heads, just as high
as mems hats, and keep the unhappy men
behind dOdging the 'never-quiet pile, and
never giving one moments clear view of
the stage or the performers. Perhaps it
would be well to revive the old Puritanic
text: Top knot, come down."

Money is in fair supply at ~ to 2
per cent. per month; the principal de
mand being from builders and Real Es-
tate owners, the steady, increased de-
mand for residences, at advanced prices
for rent, makes it profitable to build
houses and pay these rates of interest
for money. There is now quite an emf
grafton to our Territory and they must
have houses to live in until they select
places for their new homes or build
houses of their own in our city, and
Real Estate owners and business men,
having the interest of Seattle at heart,
cannot show more public spirit or do
the town more good than by building
cheap houses and renting them at fair
rates, thereby keeping among US the
"new comers who will spend their
money with US, increase our trade, and
help build up our city, in which we are
all interested.
Trade during the past week has been
moderately active.
We hear of large purchase of Seattle
property at advanced rates. We are
often told that propert; here is very
high and is going down, that a common
residence lot costs more than three lots
nm other towns on the Sound that any
one that buys is sure to lose money, but
with all these conservative opinions we
notice steady healthy rise in property
caused, not by speculation, but by
actual demand for building purposes.
Desirable lots III a prosperous growing
town like ours cannot be obtained for
nothing and as the place grows so must
property enhance in value. We have
more resources to back us than anv two
places on the Sound. We have business
men with clear heads that invest there
money here knowing it will pay. Our
capitalists will loan money on Seattle
Real Estate in preference to anv other
.snd at lower rate of interest and We
believe that during our life time we
have seen property sold at prices at
which it never can be purchased
again.
On the 5th of this month there is to
be meeting of the directors of the n.
P. R. r. in New York and knowing ones
say that the Puget Sound terminus is
