At a meeting of the directors Of the Real

was decided to hold meetings at the ex-
change hereafter every day except holidays
between II and o'clock
At these meetings the agents will be pres
ent. with a few Of the members Of firms.

change. William F. Little was elected to

The directors Of the exchange feel that the
coming year is to be the best in real estate
for several seasons. Secretary John N.
Gates said yesterday:
The demand for houses to rent Is greater
than have ever known in st. Louis. Rents
are not being advanced, and they are only
ers. The vacant dwellings and flats are al
most all filled up. and it will soon be neces-
sary to build homes for the people. The
increase In demand for houses Is growing
every day. l attribute the condition to
nothing but the law of supply and demand.
l do not think the persons renting houses
are new acquisitions to st; Louis. but our
of the panic. when two and three families
lived in the same house.
There will be many houses built in St.
Louis this fall. The opinion prevails that
ST. Louis is entering upon an era of greater
prosperity than has existed for many years,
and she result naturally is going to be the
building of many homes"

men have decided to have regular monthly
dinners. The first dinner will be given
