ACTIVITY IN REAL ESTATE.
Several Large Trannactions Have Re.
Gently Occurred.

The demand for Norfolk real estate
is steady and probably increasing. The
price which real property commands Is
a criterion OF c!tys prosperity and
repose In its future. Capital Is always
Watching for opportunities for Invest
ment. but with investors safety is more
an essential element than large re-
turns. In investments In Norfolk real
property, however the elements Of
safety and fair returns are combined.
some very heavy transactions in real
estate have recently taken place. Sew
erai weeks ago the Park Place Com
Dnny purchased the Mcdonald tract for
sl50.000 and already several OF the stock
holders have given out plans for the
construction of buildings and It is pro-
bable that I'm course of a comparatively
short period all this property will be
built upon.
Following close upon the sale of the
Mcdonald tract is reported the transfer
through Messrs. Tebatflt & Co, real
estate dealers of this city, of,the Ward
tract near the outskirts of Norfolk. to
a party of Atlanta capitalists. who have
Tor some time been investigating Nor
tolk's claims to q great future. That
they succeeded I'm establishing these
to their satisfaction is evidenced by
the fact that the purchasing price of
the property was $4,000 and that they
propose investing 81 large sum i'm having
the tract laid Off in streets and squares
ana Will probably have water mains
put In, making II a suburban addition of
Norfolk. The purchasers of the prom
erty arc Colonel James l.. Tanner. Cap
tain j. p. FIaraldson and Captain Il. A
f'rierson. The tract contains ninety-two
acres. and is situated on the cast side
or the Church street road, just north Of
where the Norfolk and Western Ter
minal railroad crosses that road, and
extends toward the Catholic Cemetery
1t will afford excellent building sites
and 1t is probable that the construction
oil several houses will be begun in q
short while.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The stock market to-
DAY was subjected to further heavy realza-
ions, and bear aggression and the course Of
prices at nrst irregular, eventually worked
toward lower level. The specialties were
conspicuous on manipulation. The market at
times. especially In the forenoon dealings
became practically stagnant, but later de-
veloped comparative activity, chiefly at the
expense Of values. The distribution Of the
dealings was only moderately good, and the
speculation had strong flavor Of profession
aiism throughout The bears, and one OPP
orator in particular, put out lines of shorts
with freedom, hoping to cause material de-
cline. The only arguments brought against
the market, as whole were the increasing
strength of the foreign exchange market and
expectations Of a comparatively unfavorable
Dank statement, owing to the heavy ship
ments OF funds to the West and South for the
crop movement. Shipments of funds through
suotreasury were larger than usual, aggre-
eating for the day $1O25,O goo. Call money
rates worked slightly higher. but this con-
dltion was regarded as only temporary. The
movement In the general list was narrow, as
q rule, and lacked feature until the final

grangers yielded about a point from the top

added $11, 712 $50, liabilities in fiftv

that the ratio to solvent business has

proportion of increase has been great
