FEATURES OF MONEY AND SPECULATION

Q cattle dealer and butcher in East Liberty,
consummated transaction yesterday by
which he acquired about IL acres of land,
situated above the Edgewood road, Will
kiusburg, at cost close to $4,000. The
tract will be plotted and put on the market
Being near the line of the borough NEIL
toned, and adjoining the Laveen plan, its
improvement will emphasize the necessity
for uniting the two towns 1t is even now
q difficult matter to tell where one ends and
the other begins
Easier Than It Looks.
The removal of the Fifth avenue "hump"
appears to be q less formidable undertaking
than is generally supposed. Speaking of
this matter yesterday a prominent real
estate operator said: ION the lower side of
the avenue, from Smithfeld street to Ross,
property is or soon will be, in such shape
as to make the cutting of positive advan-
tage to it. The Court House was built with
that end in view, and the Park block, cor
ner of Fifth and Grant, as also the Carnegie
block, and the NJ. P. Board of Publication
Office, will be. Ksufmanns are building
on the same level. On the other side of the
avenue, the Leader and the Maeder build
ings are on the new grade. The houses west
of these to Smithfield street are old, and the
damage. to them would not be great The
Cathedral property and that between Grant
and Ross streets, on the upper side of Fifth
avenue, are really all that would be mate
rally injured"
