BIG DEMAND FOR HOUSES;
RENTALS NOT UNREASONABLE

That building operations will continue to
increase Is believed from the fact that
houses are now in greater demand than
at any tine in the city's history, and con-
sequently rentals have advanced
To meet the demands for homes and
business houses. it is said, and a. the
same time prevent rent rates from reach
ing unreasonable figures, much building ts
to be put under way when the Worlds
Fair shall have been completed. Labor
then IL expected to be more plentiful and
the prices Of material may be reduced.
While rentals are greater than a wear
ago. realty agents recall that they are not
as high as they were ten years ago. and
are still cheaper than the rates prevailing
In New York. Chicago. Boston and other
Slarge cities.
: The local rates are not apt to be raised
again. 1t is thought. for the reason that
the landlords are now receiving adequate
returns on their investments and realize
that II they charge too much they will
suffer q reaction later.
With that conservatism which is char
actertstic Of st. Louis they are content
with the present states Of affairs, bcliey-
ing that the steady growth of the city, in
dependent Of the Worlds Fair, will main
tain the existing percentages of returns
on realty investments.

There are more great business buildings
nearing completion at the present, time
In st. Louis than ever before at any one
time in the city's history. For many years
St Louis was noted throughout the coun-
try as a city that did everything after q
leisurely fashion. To some extent this rep
utation may have been deserved. st. Louis
has always taken its time to do things,
and when they were done 1t has had tho
satisfaction of knowing that they were
done well. But St. Louis has outgrown
many of its old habits and at the same
doing things right.
In no line has the city shown greater
improvement In the past few years than
In the building trades. AS an Illustration

some of the great buildings now nearing

HIRAM LLOYD MASTERED
DETAILS AND SUCCEEDED.

Hiram Lloyd was born In st. Clair Coun.
ty. Illinois. July q. 1863, and came to St
Louis when a lad of IL years. He may be
said to have commenced at the foot of the
ladder. for his first position was in a car
penter shop. He advanced rapidly but he
thoroughly mastered the details of each
successive position he held before pushing
on to the next step. Not a little of his
success as a contractor and an employer
of labor is said to be due to the fact that
he is fully competent to do any of the
work done by men he employs, and he
knows by practical experience just how
every part CT the work should be done
properly.
In 1891 Mr.. Lloyd started in business for
himself as a builder. To the knowledge
which he acquired as a competent work
man he adds energy. ability. progressive
spirit and indomitable will, and that he
would succeed was a foregone conclusion.
The measure Of his success. however,
while it has astonished. has been a matter
OF sincere admiration to his many
friends. His first venture was a success
and his subsequent achievements have
been a constant repetition of his first. but
in greater degree. He has erected a
number Of fine residences ranging in price
from $4,000 to $1,000; has just completed
a barn for the Pacific Express Company,
located at Twenty-second and Eugenia
streets, costing $4,000; has the contracts
for the construction of the VIM. Mckinley
and James E. Yeatman High Schools. con-
tracts aggregating sG50,0O0. these schools
being the best of their kind in the United
States. being thoroughly fireproof. the
floors, beams and columns being built en-
tirely OF concrete. Mr.. Lloyd also rerected
the Odd Fellows Home, located at Lber-
ty. No.. costing s65,OO9
In spite Of his extensive business inter-
ests. Mr.. Lloyd takes keen interest in
national and local government affairs and
on several occasions his friends have In
duced him to take an active part in State
and municipal politics. In 1884 he was
induced to accept the Republican nomina-
ty-second Senatorial District. but as 1t was
strongly Democratic, he was defeated. In
1885 he WIS elected to the House of Dele
gates In the Municipal Assembly, and in
1897 he was reelected and made Speaker
of the House. During two years of this
service he was a member OF the City Hail
Commission, and as such, In view OF his
work, and his ability as a superintendent.
almost all the labor OF the commission
devolved upon him. It was largely due to
his intelligent and efficient service that
the city was enabled to save $4,000 on
the construction of the building. His
record as public official has been ever
marked by the same strict integrity and
honesty that has characterized his bust
ness career.
Mr.. Lloyd is prominent member Of the
Master Builders Association and the
Masonic fraternity and now holds the po-
sition of grand master Of the Independent
Order of Odd Fellows: is a member Of the
State Committee of the
Twelfth Congressional District. His Of
fees are located on the eighth floor OF the
Odd Fellows building. Ninth and Olive
streets. -

CURES WHISKY HABIT.

This institution for the cure Of whisky
and drug habits is located on the corner
Of Washington and Garrison avenues in
q. building. so well equipped that 1t seems
like modern club quarters.
Established in 1898. 1t has grown 80
steadily that two changes into larger
quarters were necessary.
Patronage is drawn from almost every
State and Territory. and includes men
and women prominent In business, profess
sional and social life.
y The best evidence Of the standing Of
this institution Is the fact that a large
per cent Of its patrons are physicians,
not only in st. Louis, but all through the
West and Southwest.
The time required for permanent cure
Of the whisky. cocaine. morphine and drug
habits generally is only short while,
and Mr.. g. n. Roose, president and mana
ger, refers with pleasure to the hundreds
Of letters testifying to the permanency Of
the cure.
The general air Of cheerfulness and
sympathy that pervades the sanatarium
adds much to the pleasure Of the patients.
and they heartily recommend It to their
friends who may be 80 unfortunate as TO
need treatment.

The best proof Of the absence of q
Worlds Fair boom In realty" the agents
hold. is that property has advanced but
little in value. the prices to-day being
scarcely higher than they were a year ago
in most sections Of the city. Naturally, in
the neighborhood Of the Exposition
grounds there has been an advance, and
lots in the fringes Of the suburbs are more
valuable because Of the greater number Of
homeseekers.
Increased valuations downtown and in
the established residence districts are
shown to be not out of proportion with
advances in former years.

dent William A Giraldin Of the Real

Tho foregoing table, compiled by Sidney
Schiele and his assistant, John NJ. Rielley,
at the Real Estate Exchange, shows the
satisfactory growth of st. Louis this year.
A gain Of about s5.Oc0.OO0 in the volume
of transfers compared with the corre-
spending period of 1902 Is said to indicate
merely the steady. natural development of
the city.
That the approaching Worlds Fair has
had little to do with the increased realty
sales is believed from the fact that in 1892
the transfers for the year footed up $62.-
060 900. while this year they are not ex-
pected to exceed s50.O0oo00. the record for
nine months being i4,S2S.s7i.
The sales lately have been restricted
principally to improved income property
for Industrial and railroad uses The trans
fers Of residence holdings have been COM
paratively small.
At no period within the last twenty
years, Mr.. Schiele states. has there been
less vacant ground sold than since last
January. This is accounted for by the
high price Of labor ard building material.
The demand for homes, however, is so
strong that many suburban subdivisions
have been opened lately. and the sales Of
unimproved lots are steadily increasing.
A notable feature Of the realty records
is the enormous increase in the number
and amounts Of the deeds Of trust filed,
