70 the creation OF laws that shall secure
equal and exact justice to all.
There is not railroad Ia the United
States that can be reproduced. with It's
rolling stock, at anything like what II
cost. All the roads. for instance, are ia'd
to the grea. advantage OF the public
with Bessemer steel rails. A few years
ago the roads had TO pay $50 per ION
for these. They can now be bought io'
yy2 per ton. The owners OF the secu'r
ties that the roads have issued PAID 'he'
money for these high priced rails. ana '''o
public has had the immense advantage vi
them. Are the owners or tneee
curities to be forced to lose si"o y" e''''
ton of rails that n road has iaid at tue
old nr,ces7 ON what plea, pray save

There is a false ilea, also IN the PUBIC
mind about watered stock OF raiiroads.

exaggerated. But the great DuiK VI

A REAL Estate EXCHANGE.

The advantages of a real estate ex-
change-not merely an organization OF
real estate agents. but place for the
conduct of their sales and other general
business-which are so well set out In
the letter of Walter Sharp, printed in
another column. are as great for Rich
mond as they are for Norfolk.
In the light of what Mr.. Sharp says
has been the experience OF the Norfolk
only surprising that such an energetic,
wide-awake and progressive body of men
as are the real estate agents Of Rich
mond should not long ago have abandoned
the -antiauated and obsolete methods of
selling property, and adopted the con-
venient and efficient mode which gen.
orally prevails in other large cities.
To have a certain and suitable place
where sales are made would OF Itself
attract persons there who might be buy
ers, while 1t would certainly save much
trouble to those who had investigated
the property and wished to buy it, When
a man has Investigated a piece of proper
ty with a view to buying 1t he does not
care TO visit IL again. but only wishes a
convenient place of sale. There are GER
tain advantages sometimes in being on
the property with crowd, but that Is
mainly only a matter of fancy, and the
Imagination. in absence, is as likely to
increase the estimate of the value of the
propartv 40 observation on the snOt will
In this respect the pros and cons are
about even, and the purchaser will be
governed by his knowledge of the proper

neither require nor desire to be taken
back to some possibly remote place. and,
maybe In bad weather. The very fact
that sales In an exchange will be made
spective of weather, is Of itself a great
advantage.
Every facility should be given to the
transfer OF real estate. The easier it is
TO sell land the more valuable it becomes
to seller and to borrower. The idea that
real estate is heavy to handle may be
much removed by the adoption of plan
which encourages persons TO trade in it
ard removes every obstacle of unneces-
sary inconvenience and expense.
We hope our real estate men will think
favorably OF Mr.. Sharp's statement. and
adopt the plan which has worked 50 well
elsewhere
