Quite IL Ditch,

From the London Mail
The career Of prosperity which the Man
chester ship canal appears to have entered
upon at last has inspired Brussels to favor
similar project for that city
1t is proposed to make the CITY maritime
port, with dock accommodation. and a
basin Tor shipping, comprising about 30, coo
acres. The canal will be about seventy-fve
miles long. The work has not yet been be-
gun, but 1t is said there is no doubt that
the scheme will be carried through
Both the Manchester ship canal and the
projected waterway in Belgium sink into
lnslgnlhcance when compared with the
RUSSIAN canal that is now being built from
the Baltic to the Black sea 1t is to be
i,oso miles long, large enough to permit the
largest WarshipS to pass through 1t will
nave a width at the top of 2l7 feet and
~ feet at the bottom, with a depth of
2S1a feet.
The canal is being so strongly built that
vessels may steam through it at the rate
OF six knots an hour. 1t will take six days
Tor large vessel to pass through it,
travelling night and day. The canal is to be
hghted along the whole course by electric
lty, and the total cost is estimated at about
t24.oo0oOO. Four years win be required to
complete the undertaking.
Inc advantages. commercial and other
wise, which Russia expects to derive from
the making OF this mammoth canal will
more than compensate for the enormous
outlay, and the scheme Is viewed very ia
Vorabiy throughout the cars dominions.

As an Investment.

Based on the experience of the past few
years, people are sometimes heard to say
they do not want to have anything to do
with real estate, and that as soon as nos
sible they propose to get rid of their pres
ent holdings Such a view, in the light of
the present does not seem to be shared by
a great many people. 1t is further the
conviction of property holders and others
interested in realty that before long the
buying public more generally will reach
the conclusion that. after all, real estate is
a pretty good sort of investment There
Is no concealment of the conviction that
what IS looked upon in some quarters as a
present craze for STOCK buying will not last
long.
Exactly what effect on the DEVELOPMENT of
the city the announced plans of those who
have recently gained control of the large
proportion of the street railroad mileage
of the District will have is not of course,
known. There seems to be an opinion that
If the policy is adopted, and there seems to
be no reason to doubt that il will be of
one fare and a continuous ride from any
part of the District to the center of the
city, it Will result in bringing about radical
changes in the relations of the city end the
suburbs.

bac bone of the Market.

However, as every one of experience is
aware the backbone of the real estate mar
ket al all times is the small buyer When
he withdraws the market weakens and
brokers talk about duh times While
such transactions are individually small
yet the aggregate reaches large figures
Then, again, the buyer of a single lot is not
apt to be seeking a speculation, but his
purpose is to make an Improvement of some
kind, and it is that sort of thing that i'm
proves localities and helps to keep the mar
ket active.
There is another indication of the i'm
proEement in conditions, and that is the
feeling found to prevail among some prop
erty holders that the prices which seemed
to be sufficient few months ago are not
now high enough This is especially so
with the class of property that yields an
income. 1t is a rather common experience
nowadays for brokers, after making An Of
Ter OF the listed price for property to be
informed by the owner that he is not will
ing to sell at that price. Frequently it
happens that the broker is told the rroper-
ty Is not for sale. 1t is quite evident rom
This that in the opinion of such ow ers
realty IS good thing to hold on to ust
now, but whether that means higher prices
are expected or other forms of investment
are not as desirable is question.

Some Indications Showing the In

DEVELOPMENT OF TIE SUBURBS
Opportunities Offered Those Who
Have Money for Investment.
SOM N EW B ILDING s

The buying contingent in the market is
gradually increasing, and while no large
sales have been reported, yet the volume
of business is large, judging from the re-
corded transfers and also from other indi-
cations. 1t Is said the title companies are
very much rushed just now, while at the
District office the demand for tax certif-
Gates has increased noticeably during the
past few weeks. 1t is evident business is
improving and that the change which has
been looked for has at last set in, although
II must be said that many brokers, as well
as property owners, are by no means salts
ned with the present volume of transac-
tons.
The Improvement which is believed to
nave taken place in the conditions in re-
gard to realty holdings in this city has not
attracted the degree of attention that it
might otherwise if large purchasers had been
more in evidence. The transactions involv-
ing thousands of dollars are more widely
advertised and talked about than small
ones.
RMS is of course, natural, for in the case
OF large deals either the amount of the con-
SHERATON or the profit which it is shown
mas Deen made arouSes interest for in many
instances the purchasers are men who can
afford to buy what they want, and there
lore fancy figures are apt to be the feature
of such deals.
