REALTY IN B1a~DEMAND.
The Investment Furore Subsidinj
for Lack Of Land to Buy.

The Investment Furore Subsiding
for Lack Of Land to Buy.
A real estate broker stated to a MORN
ING NEWS reporter yesterday, that the land
investment furore has about come to an
end, not because Of lack of investors. but
for the reason that there is no eligible land
70 De bought, every available tract hav-
ing been taken up by one OF the other of
the numerous land companies or syudicatcs.
Inose who have recently purchased land,
he added, at what some people thought high
figures, are offered handsome advances on
their investments. Sales of shares in one
OF the youngest of these "close corpora
lions" have been made for so per cent. ad-
vance, and the concern is not much over
| two months old
There IS one direction only in which the
city must have its most rapid and greatest
growth, and that is southwark. The
Waters road and the line Of Florence street
are about the eastern and western
limits. OF course there will be improve
mentS up and down the river front, but
that will be restricted to the necessities of
manufacturing and business purposes.
Inc same gentleman said thai in previous
years real estate operations were confined
to the spring months, when trade slackened
and money was not required for business
purposes, but this year the only COMPARE
lively quiet month was September, and
| since then the market has been very active
Lots north OF Anderson street are almost
unobtainable. Here and there small lot.
or half, or third Of lot may be bought, but
only high figure can induce an owner to
even talk about selling. As a rule the
holder Of such property intends putting up
house for himself or to rent.
There is some very desirable land that
might be brought into market at once, but
the want OF streets prevents improvements.
With the exception of the area between
pun and Montgomery streets, and from
Second to Twelfth streets, where lots range
in price from $3.50 to $1,000 for lot 80 by
from 80 to 125 feet, and in Southyille, there
are but few other accessible lots where the
better class of people care to build, Lots
In or near any of the street car lines in the
southern extension of the city, or near
the city limits, cannot be had for
less than $3.50 to $3.50. Even lots as far out
as Dittmersville are commanding those fig
ures. Recently two adjoining lots in South
vile sold at S400 each. In Garland and
Barry wards on Habersham street, south of
Anderson street. lots 30x9O are held at 5000
TO 81 900, and sales have recently been made
between those figures.
The city council, as soon as it gets over its
heavy work on the tax question, could do
nothing better to help the growth of the
city than by opening streets
in the southern suburbs, and across
the track of the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway. At present there is not a
street or road open between Anderson
street and Estill avenue, a distance of
three-quarters of mile. The effect of that
state Of affairs will be to force improve
ments southwark, leaving a large vacant
area, as 1t we're, in the heart of the proper
line OF improvements.

have all who want to give to send their

will be impossible for him to call upon every
one in the territory assigned to him.

Lowell & baltimore, Hardware and Stove
Dealers, desire to particularly impress upon
every one that in their samples of Stoves
and Ranges some of the very best possible
makes are to be found. There is nothing
finer in the shape of wood cook stove than
the Regal Acorn, nothing better for wood
or coal than the Farmer Girl, and certainly
nothing more substantially and neater
made than the Standard Argand. These
three stoves are beyond complaint as far as
can be. First-class material used in their
entire makeup.

THE BLUFF ROAD STOPPED.

The Rails Cut Off at the Paddleford
Wharf Line.
The River street extension of the Gen.
trail railroad has been abruptly brought to
a halt within short distance of the Lower
rice mill. The company had built across
about one-third of the Padelford wharf
property between the Lower ice mill and
Murphy's wood and coal wharf property,
when T. d. Daffiu purchased the property
from the executors of the Padelford
estate, and the new owner required the
Central TO take upso much of the track as
infringed upon his lot. 1t was necessary
to cut the rails, which was done on the
line between the Murphy and Daffin proper
ties. The second trcck has been completed
nearly to the eastern terminus of the first
track, all the property holders having
granted right of way.

Contrary to expectation, the grand jury
Of the superior court did not find any more
indictments yesterday against keepers of
Sunday tipping houses, but there was a
general feeling of uneasiness among the
barkeepers to know if they had been in

had escaped then if they would be as fortu-
nate yesterday.
This feeling of uneasiness was the moro
depressing in the light Of Judge Falligant's
sentences thus far, as convicted parties have
been getting the extreme limit. The names
of those indicted on Thursday have not yet
been disclosed.

Eiffel Tower Freezes.

An interesting illustration of the perpetual freshness and strength of the
 wind at the top of the Eiffel tower has
 been presented during the last week by the gradual destruction of the great flag of the French republic, which has been waving over the gay city during the past six weeks. A few days ago the red band disappeared altogether, leaving the blue and white of another nationality to keep guard over the tower, and this week another band has disappeared, and the tower is now sur mounted by red flag, to which are attached two steramers, the sole rem nants of its former upper and lower edges.
