A GOOD YEAR FOR CONTRACTORS.
Satisfactory Closing of the Building Season
The Weeks Real Estate Movements.

Real estate movements, while firm, have not
been so good the past week as during the one
preceding. This is attributed to the State fair
partly, and also to other temporary causes. The
decline has not been sufficient to cause any dis
eouragement as to future operations, and it is
expected the coming week will restore the excel
lent average that has been maintained during
September. There was drop in aggregate
values Of $28,086. 40. the amount for the week
sndiEg last night being $75, 210.92
Building contracts have been slow, and none
were taken that contemplate any notable i'm
provements Builders, however, are still busy
with the work they have had on hand and look
to the closing of the season with a great deal of
satisfaction. AS building this year has exceeded
that of 1885, contractors are hopeful of doing
still better next spring and summer. They have
been consulted by prospective investors, but no
definite plans have appeared. Aside from this
indication, they believe considerable money
Is waiting to go into houses under
healthy stimulus of good fall
and winter business. 1t appears casually that
the number of vacant houses within the city is
somewhat large, but the holders of this class of
property say this is brought about by the build
ing associations. Many who heretofore were
tenants have homes of their own now, the result
Of their savings through associations. You
would be surprised, said gentleman yesterday
''at the number of neat and attractive cottages
that have been put up this season in the
suburbs, and has nearly all been done by build
ing associations. The vacant houses indicate
an enlarged ownership of homes. There is no
doubt about that
"How are rentsp was asked of an agent who
zoos leading business in that line.
Firm. Out of list of seven hundred houses
We have very few vacant The better class of
houses rent readily. and those We have hand
are not altogether desirable Prices may be
little lower than this time last year. They went
down during the wiuter and have not recovered"
The permits during the week amounted to
81, 003 the houses to cost over thousand dol
lars being those of George H. Carter, frame
dwelling on Broadway, between Sixth and Sew
pnth streets, $1,000; Henry Faulier, frame cot

The group is stated around the fire

and whose tiickering rays reveal the
picturesque features OF those simple Chill
dren of nature. They listen intently TO
the music which is their perennial en-.
entertainment. Presently wild female
forms darts forward to commence the
dauce. She is scantlly dressed and the
rags drawn around her bosom envelope
an infant Of tender age.
Placing her hands upon her hips she
moves quickly right and left, advancing
and retiflng in sidelong direction. The
music becomes quicker, her movements
increase In rapidity, and the clapping o
hands and cries OF her dusky companions
rouse her TO a frenzy Of excitement. Hel
gestures are impassioned, her eyes fiery
and the hair stands erect upon her head
She utters rapidly strange words OF al
unknown tongue to tune still mort
strange and uncouth. The twaDy iIfan
seems to be inspired with the same tient
