lying districts Immediately north and
northwest OF the city and sections which
have borne rural aspect are being rapidly
built up.
The past summer has witnessed larger
demand for suburban property, it is said,
and land has been purchased by promoters
for subdivisions. Many tracts of farm
land have already been subdivided and the
lots placed on sale. 1t is thought that the
coming spring will witness a general re-
vival in this line of the real estate busi-
ness.
Along with the revival have come num-
Der of street railway projects, which, it is
said, will be presented to Congress at the
coming session. The prospects, said
one real estate man, have never been
more promising for a general revival OF
business than at the present time, and If
MY expectations are realized Washington
will be in the midst of boom times next
year. This welcome condition, too, has
every Indication of being permanent.
Washington is growing rapidly, and as its
desirability as a residence city is coming
to the knowledge of people all over the
country there is no reason why good times
should not continue indefinitely"

the Day Adyances-The Grangers
Develop Fractional Recessions.
Sugar Leads the Industrial List.

NEW YORK, Oct 19.-The stock market
opened with a rather uncertain tone, and
with the dealings in light volume, While
the American market was reported fairly
steady, consols were shown at slight
decline, and this was assumed to indicate
some uneasiness in England in respect TO
the situation in South Africa.
Little change in the local situation, and
no developments bearing upon particular
stocks were noted over night. Brooklyn
Rapid Transit was generally selected as
the object OF attack by the bearish faction
in the market, and the stock sold off quite
sharply in the opening dealings. A very
rapid decline in Pullman Palace Car was
another feature of the market, which was
without definite explanation. Manhattan
also declined again, but subsequently de-
Veloped steadines.
While the dealings in the Vanderbilt
shares were in light volume, that group
retained the strong tone that character
lied il yesterday. The granger shares.
Louisville and Nashville, and the other
standard issues, as a rule, opened higher,
but showed fractional recessions in the
subsequent readings. Sugar Refining was
the conspicuous feature OF the industrial
quarter, but along with the others of the
group. il moved in line with the general

REAL ESTATE PROSPECTS
Dealers Looking for Revival of
Boom Times. "a w..
Houses for Rent Said to Be Fewer
Than Usual at This Period, of
the Year-The Activity lin Sub
urban SectiOns-BuildinSC Continues
without Apparent Interruption.

The unusually small number Of houses
for rent in the city is matter of general
comment among real estate men. 1t is said
by the realty dealers that there have been
but few periods in the history Of the city
when the demand for rentable houses has
been so great. A careful inspection of ev-
cry section reveals the fact that the num-
ber of desirable dwellings for rent is linn
tied. This is true not only of the city prop
er but of the suburbs as well. Usually at
this time Of the year suburban property is
a drug on the market, but the presept sea-
son has witnessed marked change and if
the people who are in the habit of moving
to the city in the fall have followed their
usual practice, the property which has been
vacated by them has been quickly re-rented,
for it is recognized fact that in compari-
son with former seasons the population OF
the outlying districts is much larger.
The general demand for houses is ac-
counted for by real estate men as indicat-
ing a marked growth of the population OF
the city 1t is stated by men who have re-
sided here since the civil war that lsuCh q
condition of affairs has existed only durin e
two periods-in the two or three years i'm
mediately preceding the boom which began
in the latter COS and continued until 1878
and in the interval preceding the panic OF
1S93 In the periods mentioned the demand
for rentable property indicated a marked
growth in the citys population and in the
present instance it is taken as proof of q
similar increase.
1t is said that the price Of real estate
has always advanced sharply after an in
crease in the population and according to
the predictions now made property is
bound to appreciate steadily within the
next few years. Many are sanguine enough
to predict boom times in the Immediate fu.
ture which will eclipse the prosperity of all
former periods.
In the meantime, building operations
have progressed steadily. and, despite the
approach OF winter, which usually calls
for a cessation OF construction, scores OF
new houses are being commenced. The
activity is especially marked in the out

The War Department has received the an

from long occupation without timely repairs
and having no sewer system, is in a very
dilapidated and hnsanitary oondition-has

The evening times., 1899-10-19

The stock market had another strong
opening this morning, with new nlgh prices
for the week and an appearance OF great
strength all over the list The buying IN
the grangers and in Sugar and Brooklyn
was considered excellent, and many careful
traders expressed the belief that the mar
ket would see further advances before the
end Of the week. A reaction after the ad-
vance of two to FIVE or six points would
NOT be surprising, but, on the other hand,
a continuance OF the advance under heaVy
short covering and renewed interest by the
public is not in the least improbable
There was little news OF Importance TINS
morning, but talk OF the bank statement
was generally hopeful, the impression be-
ing that the balance with the Treasury
this week viii be less unfayorable, and that
little money has gone West and South.
The New York banks have been little
helped by the prepayments of interest. but
few financial men expected much from this
plan at any time. The exchange rate ad-
vanced yesterday, and there is renewed
talk of gold exports, but the general opin-
ion is that there viii be no necessity for
them. The Keene interview has fallen very
fat and has been forgotten entirely, ap-
parenty.
Sugar was bought in thousand share lots
and advanced TO 147 is in the first hour,
There was some hesitation at this price and
il seemed quite possible that il would be
the highest of the day. There il no news
regarding the stock.
The grangers all reached new high fig
ures. ST. Paul sold at 126, Burlington al
ISL l-2 and Atchison, preferred, at 64. The
great Western securities were favorably az
fected by the statement Of the company for
the month of September and the first quar-
ter of the year. The figures of the state
ment are most reassuring 10 the friends
of the grangers generally. The gross earn
ings of the company for the month were
$670.915, an increase of Sll9, ,269, and the net
for the month 1884. 765, an increase of $685.
226. The gross for the first three months
of the fiscal year were Sl,145,l11 an in
crease of S275 906. The net earnings for
the three months were s671, 1,074, an increase
of Sl40. 59a.- The present rate of increase
in the net would make the net for int
year about 81 500 ,000 an amount that would
pay all interest and tax charges and leave
q balance sufficient 10 provide the full div-
dend on the "A" stock the full dividend
on the 'B'' and very pleasant residue for
the common. The ST. Paul is earning at the
rate OF $50 000, 600 gross annually. The
statement OF the company for the month OF

will those of the other grangers.
