REAL ESTATE MATTERS.

Homes by Local People. Who
Made Improycments-Thc
Outlook Is Fine.

There has been no unusua! activity GuE-
ing the past year in real estate, but during
the entire time there has been a good
healthy growth 10 the business and j mas
been OF a character that has been par
Iicularly gratifying to the dealers. -
nearly all investments in that line have
been by home people investing In homes.
The number OF new homes erected ard
planned during the year has been very
great and they have been Of a quaLty

and wealth of the city Nearly All ue-

The dealers now believe real estate 10

an outlook that is very gratifying. Ihey
expect a very much stronger movement

The city is better fitted up in that line
now than AT any time before III many
years.
The increased attention that investors
have been giving TO that form of CONNER

sale of the popular loan of government
bonds during the year. together. have pre-
vented the Investment Of a great ceal OF
money in real estate that otherwise would

The demand FOR cattle paper among the
men whose iinancial abilities are generous
has absorbed many large blocks of cash
while the certain promises Of a ready gain
IN the price of bonds absorbed many d
small supply of cash that otherwise would
have found its way into real estate and
improvements.
The increase in the number of homes
during the year and the continued demand
for more houses in all parts of the city
make the outlook very promising for the
real estate market and the dealers report
a generous number of inquiries already.
with a fine outlook for a very satisfactory
trade.
For 1897 the building permits amounted
nearly S3.090.0N a growth that put the
city in a very prominent place in the list
of cities in the land for building. The
development of building permits began
with the opening of the year and continued
from that time on TO the close without
an. interruption and Shove a marked
gain over the months c thc preceding
year. : The permits taken out for building

IS GOOD POULTRY MARKET.
VAST Number of Fowls Required Here
to Meet the Demand.

The produce and commission men Of the
city have seen a wonderful change in their
business during the past five years. Prior
to that time there was no Western market
for poultry and produce. 1t all had to go
East. Now, since the packers have been
handling poultry, Kansas City has be-
come the great market for poultry and
ore, Prices have ruled good and the con-
tinued demand strong. The. dealers here
trade and as the population of the city
has increased the demand locally has been
growing all the while. An immense amount
az noultrv has been marketed here the past
year from Arkansas and Texas. The
quality of poultry sent to market is good.

THE SUPPLY OF SOAP.
brands Made Here Sold All over the
Land.

Kansas City people keep clean by the
use of Kansas City soap and then
there is left enough TO supply demands all
over the United States. The Kansas City
product annually Is sold in every state in
the Union and the annual output is about
loo.0ooo00 pounds. There are two big firms
employed in its manufacture and the busi-
ness has developed until Kansas City is
the largest soap manufacturing point west
OF Chicago. The largest factory here has
q daily capacity OF 200 boxes of laundry
and 1900 boxes toilet soap daily. 1t has
five acres of floor space. employs 30
men. has 80 representatives on the road
selling the product and is one of the bus
lest places i'm the city. The soap plants
also manufacture canned I've, and give
crime. and in both lines find a large trade
for the product offered for sale. Besides
the two big plants there are a dozen small
er ones that do a thriving business in a
smaller way.

WAYS been the hest in the West and they
have always been we'll supported by the
local trade and are enabled 10 keeS TO

SPORTING GOODS.
With the Jobber and the Retailer
Business Has Been and Is
Still Good.

Tit trade in sporting goods during the
year just closed has shown a decided per-
centage of gam over that OF 1897. While the
war with Spain interfered during the sum
mer with the Importation of fine guns
used in the trade. all demands We're tlled
by American made goods and no trouble
resulted. Prices havc held up well and
the year has been satisfactory in every
thing except the trade in high class hi
cycles. The low price wheels upset that
trade completely. and caused annoyance
to the dealers. Kansas City does a big
business in sporting goods. both in a whole
salt. way and among the people supplied
from the retail department.

A Million Dollars Worth Annually
Made Here.

4 million dollars worth annually OF

trade from the factories here and are
scattered all over the Southwest and West.

for many years and has shared III the de-
of the lumber trade here.

VEHICLE TRADE.
Last Years business the Largest in
the History of the City
PrOmisinr Future.

The trade in vehicles Of all kinds was
the best during 1895 the city has ever
known. People of the West enjoy their
prosperity better than in other sections of
the country and when good crops and good
prices afford them the means of enjoyment
they are quick to use them.
Locally the demand for pleasure vehicles
is increasing each year. The street i'm
provements offer inducements for driving
while the generous rivalry engendered by
the Horse snow has aided the demand for
nice vehicles,

HARNESS AND SADDLES.
The Trade Has Enjoyed Fine Patron
axe During the Year.

An important feature of the manufac-
turing trade of Kansas City is the trade
enjoyed by the manufacturers of harness
and saddles. Thare is a big demand for
that line of goods locally and all over the
West. and the entire output OF the manu-
facturers here finds n ready sale. The
annual output Of harness.. saddles and
other leather goods here amounts TO about
81. 500. GOO: that amount includes the goods
handled here by agents of Eastern job
bcrs. which is III important part of the
trade. The trade will increase each year
as the tributary territory DEVELOPS.

GAS SAVING FIXTURES.
The Greatest Possible Light Per Cubic
Foot Is secured by the
neyseas

The rapid increase in the US. of illumi-
mating gas makes u wide and inviting
field for the genius who can solve the
problem of how to get the greatest amount
of illumination from each cubic foot of
gas. There are appliances maxi lere that
are guaranteed TO give this de,ired result
and they are coming into general use very
rapidly. When one is shown how an i'm
proved service can be secured With no in
crease in the gas bill, the sale of the APP
pliance is ordinarily a most easy task
These appliances are of a durable but SIM
pie character and their merits are demon-
strated for the purchasers.

the entire city aud all suburbs: and has
been improved from time to time; until
it now meets all of the growing demand

other in giving the service that popular

Kansas City Decorators Are Equal to
All Demands.

With the increase in the number of fine
homes and public buildings erected there
is q growing demand for fine decorative
work and ali lines in that field have first
class representatives in the city. In line
art decorations. fresco and stucco work.
Kansas City workmen are quite able TO

most satisfactory results. The examples
of their skill and taste are seen in many
places all over the city.

the city has caused a very large number

taken TO go TO the choice parts of the

homes erected are of a substantial charac-

A prominent business man returned
from Ilollo yesterday and reports that
a reign of terror exists there. 1t is not
safe to go on the streets unarmed, and
street fights are OF common occur
renee. Merchants have closed their
stores, while all classes OF people are
a%nxiously awaiting the arrival of
American troops and hope it will be
soon, as the garrison cannot hold out
much longer against the insurgents.
The Colorado troops have received
their Thanksgiving boxes and for the
past week haven't lookedat government
grub. But some of those boxes have
cost the boys a great deal. Several of
them got canned horse" and salmon

it. After living forty days coming over
also after We landed, on those things
and get them yet to eat, it is quite a
josh to have them sent for Thanksgiv-

Manila, p. l., Dec. 11.-There have
been many rumors atioat during the
past week in regard to the insurgents,
but none of them have caused any I'M
e~asiness on the part of Uncle Sans
warriors. But it seems to be the opin-
ion that there will be trouble in the
future with Aguinaldo and a e of his
followers. With Uncle Sam supreme In
these parts, 1t knocks his personal ann
bition in the head. D~issension prevails
in his ranks and no doubt at the present
time his troubles are many. Promises
