The meeting between the railroad peo-
pie representing the roads in the fight in
the Northwest was held yesterday, but
it cannot be learned that any conclusion
was reached. The general opinion. how
ever, is that the fight will be dropped
for the present as an Improbable one
for all concerned.

There has been much speculation IN te-
cent wears over the fact that the old no.
tel building on the opposite corner from
the Riggs Bank is not torn down to give
place TO a modern office or hotel build
ing This site is probably even more val
uable than the other. because people are
confronted 10y it as they come down town
in the morning instead Of when they go
home AT night. The rentals from the Of
fees and stores in the building at present
are large but they would be nothing COM
pared with those Of a modern office bui d.

tate people have talked with the owner
of the property recently but have found
him little inclined to listen TO their prop

The price Of s25 a foot paid for this lot
is not by any means high one for this
section or for any good street in the busi-
ness part Of Washington. il will be re-
membered perhaps that the Mertz corner
was sold few years ago for 500 foot.
The sale was made, however, in the best
YEAR of the real estate boom. and no such
p.ice has been realized since that time. IL
is the opinion of many business men that
the corner of Pennsylvania and New York
Avenues and Fifteenth Street is the most
valuable in Washington at this time The
. conVergencc Of the various railroads at
the corner and the fact that practically
al the business between the downtown
portion Of the city and West Washington
passes here gives ii a very great prom
inence. The location OF the railway offices
on the corner recently and the fact that
many Of the banks are in the immediate
neighborhOod adds TO this value.

rise in nearly all stocks until the close, a
few only being weak at times. There IS
little doubt that the Street had advance

speculation Many are of the opinion
that the market has stlready discounted

Others are as firmly convinced that the
beginning of the great boom Will come
now. On the whole il seems probable
that there will be something OF a reac-

question. II Is undoubtedly true ;hat
