REALTY AND BUILDING.
The Real Estate Market Shows Decided
Improvement.
The status OF the Great Hotel Proieet-A Ees-
asmer Steel Plant-The Cotton MIL.
Elec,r' Lines.

Heavy real estate deals are being
talked of on all sides. Not alone talked
of, but they are being made. A good
sized deal of $40 ZOO has been closed for
West Side property. the seller netting
$40 900 on the purchase made not many
months ago and the buyers will net $50. -
900 without any trouble. Another deal
on the tapis Is for S4S 600. A syndicate
| IS being formed to swing this trade. Two
| Eastern gentlemen are negotiating for
| several lots on lower Calhoun street,
and il will probably be sale. River
| side will soon he on the market. Airing
ton Heights aud North Fort Worth prop
erty is moving, and in fact there is
activity all along the line. 1t was just
about this time one year ago that the great
| period OF activity in real estate began.
| This activity assumed mammoth proper
tons in January and heavy trading con-
tinued until early summer. IL looks
| very much as If history would repeat it
self in 1890 and 1891, and it need sur
| prise no one if @ large number of invest
ors visit the city in the next ninety days.
There is far more to base value on now
than twelve mouths ago and buyers are
| becoming aware OF the fact.
THE HOTEL PROJECT.
! The committee soliciting for euhscrIp-
| tions TO the fund to buy the half block
| desired by Burnham s. Root and their
| associates OF Chicago, the gentlemen
| who propose to build the magnificent no
| tel. were at work again yesterday, but
| they did not succeed in securing the
amount needed; in fact there rerna,us a
deficit of about SIG 200. The truth is,
| the situation is not encouraging. Ii one
property owner in the neighborhoOd of
the hotel site is benefited the others are
equally benefited, but all have not con-
tributed to the fund. Nothing
would so certainly fix values as
this fine hotel, and the man
who owns a lot aud gives $500 or $500 to
the hotel is but helping himself while he
helps the city. There will be meeting
at the chamber of commerce tonight to
see if the matter cannot be closed. All
are invited to be present. They are
urged to be present and do what they
can for the enterprise. 1t is not every
city that has an opportunity to obtain
such hotel Us the one proposed on the
terms offered. aud there IL no city in
Texas that would be benefited more
than Fort Worth would by getting such
q hotel. Be at the meeting tonight.
