THE BUILDING ROOM.

The singular strength OF the building
ment. There are now in course of con-
struction in the immediate business
section seventeen large business build
ings, counting each storeroom as one,
and within the month the foundations
will be laid for from six to ten more.
A few of these represent inferior one
story frame or brick structures which
are being replaced, but the large ma
jority are entirely new improvement
and OF superior order of architecture.
In other parts of the city q half dozen
stores arc going up.
Join to this the present erection of
about $50 dwelling houses of every
class and description and the student of
municipal growth has something to con
slider. The heavy building operations
will have most salutary effect in bring
ing rents of all kinds down to normal
figure, and thus benefit the city.
The TIMES has repeatedly asserted
that the present industries, enterprises
and commercial establishments of Roa-
noke were sufficient to sustain popula-
ton of $4,000, and that the city would
swell to that figure were no new enter
prises put under way. But when it is
considered that despite dull times and
tight money the city has constantly ex-
banded its commercial and indust, ial
operations, the reason for the protracted
building boom is visible. Ina nutshell,
Roanoke is growing faster than ever.

THE RECORD.

The Roanoke Daily Record made it's
first appearance last evening. Its edi-
tor, Mr. Henry Q. Nicholson, in strong
introductory editorial, promises clean
and fearless Democratic newspaper. The
paper presents an attractive appearance
and its equipment is thorough in every
department.
To newspaper man the most strik.
ing feature about the Record is the
large number CT advertisements with
which it starts-133, exactly the same
number with which the reorganized
TINES started nearly two years ago, and
favorable omen of success. The cour-
age with which this new bark is
launched upon the troubled sea of
journalism should stiifen the backbones
OF all Respondent sailors in the same
waters. This young brother promises

The Glut of Capital.

The Glut of Capital.
From the pittsburg Dispatch
An extended examination into the
indie atoms of what is called glut of
capital is made by a recent article in
the New York Post. it shows that es-
pecially in Europe capital is unable to
find investments which are at once
remunerative and certain to continue
the returns. This, with the indicative
decline in the rate OF interest, affords a
basis for the prima facie conclusion that
the supply Of apital is in excess of the
demands of the world for using it.
Yet the assertion is like saying that
there is more bread or meat than the
world can eat. There may be more of
each than there is demand for at the
given time; but TO suppose that there is
q permanent surplusage is to suppose
that there is limit to works by which
the productiveness of the earth can be
increased. Such an idea, with less than
third OF the worlds surface brought
under the developments of CIVILIZATION, is
absurd.
Perhaps some light on the alleged glut
may be obtained from recalling former
instances. After 1873 there was a
plethora OF capital in this country. 1t
was not that there was lack of oppor.
tunity to use capital for the contrary has
since been demonstrated 1t was simply
that the forms of investment within the
reach of the small capitalist had Justly
brought themselves under distrust. The
same is true to-day in great measure.
The British investor has been notably
the victim of the promoter, the stock
watering, and the more undlsguised but
less reputable Jeremy Diddler. When
the forms of investment have become
generally tainted with the vices which
make them the means of transferring
the savings OF the people to the pockets
OF sharp operators. the situation must
eventually work out it's natural result
that the small investors will refuse to
be bled further, by letting ali such in
vestments severely alone.
When properties as rule are capital.
ICED at three times their just value, it is
small wonder that the investor gets
low rate OF interest on his inflated in.
vestment, or that after due experience
he develops an extraordinary affection
for the forms which can guarantee a
sure return of something-if only a
miserable or per cent. There are
still abundant fields for the legitimate
employment Of capital in production
