In New York

The condition of the New York real es-
tate market is reviewed by the Evening
Post of that city as follows:
The harvest of this year in real estate,
a wretched one in every respect, has prob
ably been gathered. Trading is at a stand
still, and If any activity comes before au-
tumn it will be surprising. That is the
situation in the market as war begins.
The week just closing has been quieter
thar any OF mid-summert for not only have
there been few transactions reported, but
practically nothing of Importance is in ne
gotiation, condition which does not exist
in July or August even. Brokers, gener-
ally, have given up the endeavor to make
sales, and the beginning of hostilities finds
the real estate market in a condition OF
abject quietude. Thus it is likely to remain
for some time to come.
What effect the war will have upon the
market Is purely a matter Of conjecture
The optimistic take favorable view of the
situation. To such as these the great draw
back-uncertainty-ha been removed and
they believe that should the developments
of the near future indicate a speedy con-
cluson of the war, buying will follow. On
the other hand, the near approach Of that
season of the year which is proverbially
dull must be considered and although in
vestment in real estate may soon again ap-
peal to capital, investors are certain to
desert the city, as they have the market
until fall,

security against other peoples i'll man.
ners.'
. Henry Clews says In his circular of the
Both ult.: The first week Of war has pro-
duced no material change in tho aspect of
affairs in Wall street. The most notable
feature is the contraction of operations on
the stock exchange Investment transac-
tions are almost suspended the "outsde"
element in speculation has virtually disap-
peared: and business Is almost entirely
confined to quick in-and-out operations;
the result being that dealings have con-
tracted to about one-'hird of their normal
volume. On the whole. prices have been
steady to firm, the chief influence causing
fluctuations being the varying aspects of
naval movements and of other indications
as to the drift of hoati!ities. Evidently,
until the struggle has ceased, we may ex-
pect the stock market to keep even pace
with the fortunes of war, while ordinary
influences will be held largely In abey-
ance.
The condition of the local real estate
market is quiet but not discouraging The
comparison of recorded sales in the
tables given below shows a decline that
might naturally be expected as compared
with the transactions for the same month
in former years. The building interest has
been well sustained until recently, when
orders began to be countermanded on ac-
count of the war excitement. There are
more stores vacant on the principal thor
oughfares at this time than have been seen
for a number of years.
The comparative statistics of mortgages
and releases which will be found below
are interesting as showing not only a
decrease in the volume of mortgages re-
corded, but very large proportionate in
crease in the percentage of releases to the
amount of new membranes.

"A. L. Haley is preparing plans for a
l0-room 2-story stone residence to be located
near Westlake park. 1t will cost in the
nefghborhood of $4,000, and when the plans
are completed bids will be received by the
supervising architect from contractors for
doing the work.-The Main, Fifth and
San Pedro Streets railway, the new street
car line, will commence on the corner Of
East Fifth and San Pedro streets and con-
tinue down the latter street to the rail-
road crossing at Slauson avenue, the south
ern boundary of the city limits. The mate
rial for Its construction, with the exception
Of some of the poles, is already on hand
for use. The road will be double track for
the entire distance and will be ironed with
6O-pound rails. The car house will be built
near the corner of Seventeenth and San
Pedro. The contract for the construction
of the road has been let to George Rhein-

THE STAGE DRIVERS BLUFF
His Hairbreadth Stories of Accidents
Failed to Awe Passengers

AS we left Sandy Gulch for Rising Sun
there were six male passengers to go by
the stage, and the route was over the
mountains and full of chances of disaster.
The driver came out from breakfast rs
soon as the stage was ready, and looking
about on the seven passengers he selected
small, pale-faced man and invited him
to climb up beside him. While the pale
faced man was climbing the driver whisp-
cred to the rest of us:
II picked him out in order to scare him
to death. You fellows will see a heap OF
fun before we've gone ten miles'
Two minutes west of the gulch the road
made a sudden turn, with sheer fall OF
hundred feet down to Wild Cat Creek
and the driver put his horses at the gallor
and said to the man:
1--WE may get around all right or we
may fetch up down below. Hold yer breath
and say yer prayers!'
The passenger made no move and did moi
change countenance, and, after making
the course all right, the driver rather in
dignantly demanded:
Didn't you see that off wheel run within
foot of the edge of the precipice?"
"It ran within six inches sir!'' was the
reply.
Beyond the curve was down grade of Il
mile, and with yell and flourish of his
whip the driver urged his horses to a dead
run. The five of us inside had to hang on
for dear life, and every half minute the
stage seemed bound to go over.
"Did We know that if we'd struck a rock
we'd all been dead men in no timer"
"Of course"
"And We wasn't prayin?'
"Not at all"
Three or four miles further on the driver
determination to make a close call of II
one wheel ran off the edge of the precipice,
and only sudden effort of the horses
saved thee oach. We were flung in hear
and half frightened to death, but the man
| beside the driver never lost a puff of his
cigar When things were safe the drivel
| turned on him with:
| "That surely was the brink of the grave.
"Guess it was" was the quiet reply.
'"The clusest shave you will ever hev till
the last one come"
Eyes"
"See here, now. but what sort of a critter
ar you?" was the query "Don't you know
'nuff to git skeart?"
Nothing has happened yet to scare me-
"But mebbe we want me to drive plumb
over precpice thousand feet high?"
eff you conveniently can. The fact is !
came off up here intending to commit sui
eide, and if you can dump the whole of us
over some cliff you'll oblige me."-Atlants

ing water will be Key West, where the
navy department is building large dis
tilling plant capable of producing 100 900
gallons per day. The water will be taken
to Cuba In water boats, and will be dis
tributed to the troops as long as they are
in convenient proximity to the coast. One

The Builder and Contractor comments
on the building situation as follows:
Plans for number of fine residences and
business blocks are upon the boards N the
architects offices, which will be heard
from later on. The building of the two
new electric street car lines, one on San
Pedro street to the city limits and the
other on Fourth street from its junction
with Stephenson avenue to Evergreen
cemetery, cannot fail to infuse more or
less activity into the building business dur
ing the coming summer months. A very
large percentage of the residences now
being built are not contracted for through
architects, neither do they receive an ar
chitects supervision. The plans for most
of them are drawn by architects of this
city, 1t is true, but the owners attend to
the purchase of materials, letting the work
and the details of constructions; conse-
quently the. architects do not receive the
fee they should in such cases, and the
contractors have nothing to figure. While
this may be all right for the owners re-
ferred to, it is rather rough on the others.

perntendent of buildings issued 1875 permits,
