The market ID overlooked. aud must relieve itself
by the lapse OF time. Gut wherever man OF
means HAS real property, the improvements upon
which are out Of repair or SO old as TO turn away
rather than attract tenants, now is an oPportune
time for the owner TO rebuild or remodel such
property. Labor IL abundant, and can be had Rt
lower rates than for several years past, Building
material is somewhat cheaper tnan 1t has bsen,
and whenever business Is dull or doubtful IL is
always noticeable that business tenants look for
more attractive aud better appointed tenements.
Hence there was never q better time than now
for the owner OF property to put Il in irst-rate
condition. provided he has the means at hand to
do It. And this is the generally accepted view Of
shows itself in all parts Of the city. Single
houses, for business or residence, being built
anew, or remodeled, enlarged and reiuVensted.
Notwithstanding the cry Of hard times, stagna-
ton OF business, and scarcity Of money, there is
stu great deal Of capital seeking safe invest
ment. Bank stocks are uncertain; railroad bonds
are not to be thought of; mercantile or manufac-
turing enterprises re not desiTa ble-sO capital
lists are looking to real estate improvements as
afOrding the best means of employing their sur
plus capital. All foresee q sure return to general
national prosperity eventually, and when such
good time comes, real estate will be demanded,
aud will be remuneratiVe. The fore sha lowing Of
q greatly increased commercial growth to Wash

IDENTIFY shaping their plans for future investments
