RENTING.

The rental market has excelied its record
Of the previous year. renting has been un-
usually good. and. though tenants found
more dwellings and fats to suit their needs
than In the year previous tas a great mum
ber OF such structures were erected during
the year). the demand still exceeds the sup
when dwellings were in good repair no
trouble was experienced in keeping them
tenanred. Moderate-sized dwellings, are still
scarce. but building permits for this class
Of houses are being issued in numbers That
viii 10 doubt supply the demand during the
coming year.
Gy stride Ia. been the advance in values in
business property was the organization of
several companies expressly for the pur-
lpuse of buying or leasing and improving
corners in the business section. Men known
for tnclr sagacity as investors have taken
freely Of stock in close corporations formed
with the idea Of controlling eligible corners
and improving them with modern structures
to be leased out at rentals based on in
creasing worth year by year.
Tenants have been found for most OF
these structures before completion. They
have kept apace with builders anxious to
add to the permanent improvements of the
Gibraltar of ST. Louis-the section between
y ghteenth street, Franklin and Chouteau
avenues and the river. The avidity with
which all vacant property afforded in this
area has been taken up of late. especially
main avenues of commerce, shows conf
dence that abides in those who find real
estate the surest of investments.
BUILDING OPERATIONS.
Over 1900 brick and over 1.GJ .-ame
i1vusas we.c erected III 1909. That they rep
resent n listed cost of over 81. 600, 900 gives
an approximation of the amount of build
ing rolled up TO the credit of st. Louis. AS
is well known, permits are based on first
estimates. and represent much short of the
actual value of premises which they are
designed to cover.

The difficulty in getting steel has. pro-
