for and sales of property have kept up is
most encouraging and promises we'll for the
fall season. So far there is little to suggest
any interim between seasons.
June, which was very good. is likely TO
be equaled and perhaps surpassed by July
This activity speaks of a healthy condition
in the local field that cannot but tend to a
higher level Of prices in the near future
That this is apparent to some of those who
observe the trend of business is evidenced
by Il number of Sa les made recently by us

is coming to more and more the posi-
DliteS in Washington real estate as safe

in Washington. are being attracted to
Georgetown by the great demand that ex-
lists for small homes, and from negotia-
tons now on, building activity may be
locked for in the early fall. Georgetown
is one of the sections of the city that has
not been overbuilt. and quick returns await
specializing builders. ,r
Capitalists and officers Of money loaning
institutions state that the present great
demand for money indicates that in the
near future the rate will go to 8 per cent

associations exceeds the supply The ire
