Real Estate
WHY BUSINESS
IS 50 DULL NOW
CHARLES I. FULLER DISCUSSES
THE SITUATION.
Reasons Given for Reluctance of Peo-
pie to Invest-The Present De-
clared to Be a Good Time to Buy
Big Profits Await Investors.

Charles I. Fuller says of the real
estate market in Minneapolis: u
81 1.-THE present condition Of the real
estate: market in Minneapolis are not
all that the dealers had looked for.
There was apparently nos reason why
this spring should not have seen a
very active movement of real estate,
and a large increase in the prevalent
prices in all parts of the city.
THE facts are that there is great
deal Of property at present changing
hands, but the buyers are persons
purchasing for a. home or for improve
ment; the thought of speculation en-
tering very little into the transactions.
There are, I believe, two reasons
which cause the present conditions
Of the market. The first one is the
crop of 1908, which, as it is well
known, was not up to the average,
and has caused the present condition
of business in the middle west. The
other reason is that, this is presiden-
tial election year, which is largely a
! matter of sentiment, but as sentiment
seems to be increasing in business
matters, it is largely made an excuse
for not investing in real estate.
IT believe that with the election out
Of the way, Mr.. Roosevelt reelected
and a good crop for 1904, that Mime
apolis real estate will be one of the
best investments that can be found
There is no doubt that property here
is cheaper than in any city Of the
same size and prospects in our coun.
try. It is. the universal report Of those
who have sized UP the situation ii
other places. H.
st believe that business property II

that can be found, especially where i
is paying a small percentage on thu
present income. These properties cal
/ be picked UP now at ridiculously Low
/ prices, and can be. improved to pay :
small percentage above the fixed car
rying charge, and a big profit by hold
! ing for two or three years and the1
selling out.
IT can cite the case of the Knob
LAUGHS, who purchased fifty-foot 10
on Seventh street between Nicolle
and Hennepin within the last three
years at 81, 900; expended $4,000 il
4 improvements, and recently sold thu
property for $4,000, the propert,
meanwhile paying interest and re
alizing in the end a handsome profit.

ture the state will not start out with

with his hands and generally some

him in the play scene where he crawls

In the scenes with the queen and at

dramatic attraction of the week. The

recent wears we have had of AS You

Sutro Heights. 1t was many times
memorable. Charming, of course, in
parts, the production as whole was
hardly convincing. One remembers,
for example, the inconsruous police

anachronism. Ben Greet's las You

mirably as he always preserves the
archaic quality in his productions,
his open air plays by repute are even
more admirably correct. He has given
even hundreds of these performances
in England.
Mr.. Greet will appear as Touch

esting and distinguished, though he
may not wholly convince except in his
