NO EMPTY BooMs HERE.
The readiness with which money is obtained
in this city 10 start sound business enterprises
has been tested thoroughly during the past
few months. The stock of two large trust conf
panies has been taken up with great rapidity.
Two national banks have been organized and
three new national banks are now being formed
and Will no doubt be ready to begin business in
the course OF few months. Considerably ever
two million of dollars are represented in the
stock OF these enterprises. This large sum of
money invested i'll these undertakings has not
had the effect of checking activity in other
directions. In real estate the market continues
to he firm AMI steady, and while there is no
great demand yet prices remain the same and
owners of property seem to be perfectly able
70 hold on and wait for a more active season.
As IA veteran real estate dealer remarked re-
Gently: Real estate in the District has never
been subject to attacks of what is known US
'booms.' There have been times when prop
erty was in greater demand than at some other
period. but Ii has never been carried to the ex-
tent of forcing prices far beyond the normal
market value, and thus prepare the way for the
inevitable slump The reason for this is
plain. There is too much property in the mar
ket TO permit boom prices. When prices are
advanced beyond fair market value then that
particular property is allowed to rest by in
vestors. and they put their money in property
in some other locality. This policy soon has
the effect OF bringing down prices, and us this
system OF checks and balances extends over the
entire District all real estate operations are
regulated by it. Suburban property is a check
OH city property, and lots and houses in one
section OF the city regulate the prices in
another section. As consequence Washing
ton does not suffer from Blooms aud their nat
uraI effects"
