Large Amounts Of City Money.
THE BUILDING TRADE FLOURIsHlNG

There was no striking change in the busi-
ness situation last week, except further
depression in iron caused by the cut of the
Thomas Company. Stocks were generally
weak and dull, the majority of the list clos
ing at decline from the opening prices.
Petroleum was weak and feyerish, but
closed steady. with indications of an i'm
provement. Rules for trading in futures
were presented and discussed, and will
probably be adopted. Real estate was
active, number OF important sales being
consummated. Money was a trife tighter,
but the supply was SUFFICIENT for all require
ments. The Clearing House report showed a
large gain over the corresponding week of last
year. Business in all lines of merchandise was
active at full prices.
Sixty-hve building permits were taken out
last week, chiefly for dwellings in the outer
wards and suburbs the total cost being esti-
mated at SIG 285. The largest was by the
Bellefeld Presbyterian Church Association for
a stone edifce sOx77, to cost s4S,O0o.

The fact that Williamsburg is to have an
electric road before the snow flies, is suf-
fcient reason for the great demand for property
in that vicinity. 1t is understood that the road
is TO be run as feeder to the Fifth avenue
cable line. This will insure rapid transit to q
large population living at an inconvenient
distance from the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
may result in q cut in rates, which are consld-
cred entirely too high.

Mr.. H. M. Byllsby, Vice President of the
Westinghouse Electric Company left the city
last evening and will sail for Europe on
Wednesday next, presumably to close up the
long meditated deal for consolidating compel
ing electric companies in England and on the

days in the electric business.
