CHICAGO, March 9.-The rapid appre
citation of rents is getting to be seriou,
matter with the tenants. They fine

dilemma-that of very much higher prices
for their present location, and the posi-

cause of the rapaclty of landlords find
themselves unable TO secure any new
quarters whatever. This condition o

men from the rush toward the city o
new business firms. What is true of tn
rents in the business section of the cit,
is also true of residence rents.
