REAL ESTATE
MARKET REVIEW
Steady Growing Revival
in the Business Has
Not Yet Developed.
The Slight Improvement After
Election Proved to Have
Been Only a Furry.
Trade and Traffic Are Not Yet By
Any Means All to Be De.
sired.

Whatever NAV be promised for the future by
sanguine prophets of good times to come in the
reaI-estate business as we'll as in all other
branches of trade they cannot claim with
widespread show of proof that we enter the
new year in full realization of the rosy pre-
dictions they made prior 10 the Presidential
election in the event of Republican victory.
Trade and traffic are not yet by any means all
to be desired, but on the contrary the prompt
Improvement which manifested itself IN all
branches of industry and every field OF finance
Immediately after election has proven In q
large measure more of q furry than stesdy-
going revival. 1t was too sudden 10 last long,
and the reaction has produced considerable
disappoin tment, not TO say encouragement.
The daily press in all parts OF the country
caught the spirit OF popular rejoicing over the
triumph of sound money and national honpr
proclaiming the gala day of renewed prosper
ity and returning thrift but is now compelled
to acknowledge a hesitation in trade revival,
r. slack in the impetus which was reported in
all branches of man nufacturing industry and
comm ercial enterprise just after the election.
This setback, though possibly dishearten-
ing, is not serious. 1t is only the proVerbial
"swing of the pendulum" We started too
fast; we have simply stopped to get our second
wind.
Prior to November 4, confronted as we were
lem, confidence throughout the wide realm OF
business was suspended, credit was practi-
cally imperative aud trade in all branches
was paralyzed. Sudden relief from this great
strain naturally made spasmodic burst of i'm
provement everywhere, but that was not q
veritable cure for the unhealthy condition
into which we had gradually come.
1t must be remembered that our late COM
mercial and financial straits were not the
troubles of day or hour, but the accumulated
s1- rF
almost without check or challenge since the
international panic of 1898 No man is fl to
run a race the day after he passes the crisis OF
q long and serious Illness; and no more can
trade aid traffic, after protracted prosfration,
be instantaneously spurred back into robust
strength and vigorous activity. Convalescence
is slow process.
