In real estate circles the past week has
been something like the busy weeks OF
last spring. The sales made have been
many and some of them of good size.
Many inquiries for property have been
received, and altogether the outlook Is
very bright. Citizens who have been
away for the summer are returning and
are getting ready for fall business. 1t Is
now apparent that by the middle of Sep
TENDER or earlier, real estate operations
will be heavy and that sales will be
many.

THE BUILDING RECORD.
Building operations all over the city
are active, but the number of houses
going up could be doubled and the
pressing demand both for stores and
residences would not be supplied. The
present week, however, will see good
start made in erecti such buildings as
we need. Work will begin on the six
story building, corner Main and Seventh
streets, also on the three story 100 feet
front building on Main and Twelfth.
Hyde Jennings has now decided to build
u four story building adjoining the Hur-
ley office building. The $50, 900 brew
cry contract will be let. The contract
for building the $3.50 200 cotton mill will
be closed, and John Tieruey. who can
now get tenant, will probably decide
to build on the corner opposite the board
of trade. Several residences will also be
h,.ti "a
his plans for building ten two-story and
ten one-story dwellings on the South
Side and they will be handsome modern
buildings. All this is good but 1t is ouly
a foretnste of what Is to come later on.
Fort Worth Is in the saddle and she pro-
poses to ride the good horse prosperity
we'll. The men who build up the re-
alters of the city will find plenty TO do
this year and the merchants will prosper
accordingly. II begins to look as il
building era OF first magnitude was just
opening in Fort Worth and that Is what
will make CITY.
MORE CHEAP MONEY.
Mr.. E. a. Walton, treasurer OF the
Peoples building, loan and savings
association of Geneva, N. Y, spent
several hours in Fort Worth yesterday,
sizing up the city with view Of doing
business here. Mr.. Walton is looking
over Texas thoroughly, and Ia we'll
pleased with the state aud its cities. Tho
association proposes to loan money in
Texas for building purposes at rrason-
ably low rate of interest and will be cor
daily welcomed.
