PROSPECTS FOR THE FALL TRADE.
The firm OF W. B. Taylor e. Sons. Of No. 80 Fifth
ave- has been conspicuous among dealers In real
estate on the West Side for the last ten years
speakIng OF the present conditions OF the market.
w B. Taylor said yesterday TO a Tribune reporter:
Business this summer has been more active than
II has been In the same season for several years.
This is particularly true with respect to the renting
OF high-class houses. The prices compare favoraby
with those OF last year, and there Is no percepnis
advance so far as we can discover. The demand for
houses which rent from $500 to 1900 exceeds the
supply There Is no doubt that the lower portion
of Fifth-aye IL gradually being absorbed by the
mercantile trade for Offices and stores. This ac-
counts for the general surrender OF properly IL
Frfth-ave. az far northward as Forty-seventh-st.
and even beyond. Is evidenced by the number OF
signs one can either side OF the way an
nouncing that what two or three years ago the
brownstone mansions OF the rich are now for SAFE
or for rent for business purposes And 70 the transit
ton from residential to business purposes In con-
stantly going on with respect to these properties
Perhaps / ought to say that between Thirty
ninth and Fifty-ninth SITS. there IL an unusually
limited Offering OF houses for either rent or sale.
There has been no boom In real estate In that Sec
ton, Out values have remained steady and this re-
fleets a healthy condition OF affairs. We have OBJ
served that there IL strong tendency on the part
OF people to seek apartments In hotels for winter
homes. The property bounded by Forty-seventh ana

becoming more and more In demand By purchasers
for the reason that r. near Central Park and
desirable houses can be bought there at moderate
prices. II Is judgment for these reasons that
this section will continue 70 grow in favor.
n home ers are wise they win make their Sc:
lecons before the greater demand OF september ana
the pleasnntest places. The activity is certainly
most rked for this season or the year And yet
the season OF activity has scarcely begun"

Mr.. Dowd. secretary OF the Whiting Manufactur-
