REAL ESTATE MATTERS.

REAL ESTATE MATTERS. Factory Enlargements Begun at Ex- Mayor Peck's Shop-Other Indus- tries Many More Houses to Dc Erected-Continuou Activity in the Real Estate Market.
 Work has been begun for the erection of the new additional building for Peck Brothers & Co.'s already notably large The new building will be of brick, 60 feet long, 90 wide and four stories high It will be of the same height as the building which it will adjoin and will be an important addition to the fac tory. The lower part will be occupied by an additional new engine and boilers. The next floor will be used for an enlarge ment of the plating department which it adjoins and for which additional space is much needed. The most important use of the building will be the use of the two upper floors in part, for the safe keeping of the valuable machine dies and gages, and the safe keeping of the original draw ings for the multitude of patterns used at | the shops. Two large fire proof safes will be built for these purposes. With | these thaTArm will be protected against 1 the 1l6ss by fire of the drawings, dies, etc., | Articles which it would be difficult to re- place except at the loss of much valuable time. George Baldwin & Son, the masons, who have been awarded the contract have commenced the work. David Il. Clark has the contract for the carpenter work. The Shoninger piano manufactory, neighboring establishment to the Peck 11S tide business there has been high tide one for over a year and the entire force, all skilled employees, is steadily employed full time the year round The orders come from all parts of the civilized world. At the Mayer, Strouse & Company's corset manufactory great improvements are being made at the offices of the con cern, which are being enlarged and finely embellished and made moro convenient for the office business. The new woodwork is mainly in choice and beautiful woods. The business of the house keeps increasing and an enlargement of the shops will probably be made at an early date.
 A report was current that Marlin, the sporting gun manufacturer, proposed soon | to enlarge his manufactory. which stands | where once "Miller's Garden" fourished. | On inquiry we find that the report prob | ably grew out of the new business boom, which the factory is experiencing, owing | to the pouring in of orders for the new sporting gun which is being made there a 22-calibre, weight about 6t pounds. Ow- l ing to the increased business the works are are being run again twelve hours a day. They began working on this increased time l last Monday.
 Not long ago business at the factory was similarly rushing, and a large portion of the employees worked overtime for many weeks. There will be no enlargement of the factory at present, as when MT. Marlin built it he made it much larger than was needed for immediate requirements. Ow- irg to this factory considerable share of the rapid and notable growth of this part of the city is due.
