ENGLISH SYNDICATE PURCHASES.

ENGLISH SYNDICATE PURCHASES.
There seems to be belief among
those who have sold properties in Eng
lish syndicates that the latter are likely
to be in the market as sellers before the
present century is out. In most trans
actions of this kind the stipulation has
been made that tho old managers shall
continue in control for three or five
years, and while this continues-it is pro-
bable that the anticipated profits will be
Forthcoming, even though the selling
managers, who have in some in
stances guaranteed ,..s,returns, have to
put their hands in their pockets.
But after this probationary
period is over, and the properties come
under the direct control of the syndi-
Gates, it is believed that results will not
be 80 satisfactory. The purchasers at
highly exaggerated figures will find
themselves brought into competition
with others, who have equal facilities
on small capitalization, with an effect
so disastrous. that somc.of those who
have sold out do not hesitate to say
that, in their opinion, in less than ten
years, the purchased properties will in
m any instances, be for sale at not over
hall. the prices they have recently sold

The subject Of italian immigration prior to the last

italian immigration to this country said Vice

chose countries Of south America almost exclu-

the closer resemblance of the climates and to the
fact that member, Of the Latin lived there and

reasons, too they have remained more attractive to
Italians.
Contrary to general opinion, Italian immigration
