Building on Speculation.
Building on speculation has been for d
long time ono Of tho thrifty businesses
Of this city; but Just now this Is at IN
almost complete standstill. A NUMBER OF
failures In this line occurred during lDo5.
One case appeared to be OF peculiar
hardship. a ood-naturcd German, the
sufferer. tells tho story in casual tax.
1t seems that he overreachcd himselt
little. stralred his credit and then found
It impossible TO extend or replace his
mortgages. because flats built to rent at
s16 per month brought only 80. 80 ne
was forced to surrender his property.
That was last year. This year those same
flats are In demand at SIS and $18, and
1t was sold for. The poor fellow lost
$4,000 In hard cash. and tho mortgage
has pocketed nearly hnlf million III
tu clve months by simply buying tho
nroperty5in and holding It.
That German friend, however does
not look cmaclated under misfortune. He
weighs some three hundred pounds. Is
tho admiring son Of a father who HAD
fourteen children. and while only forty
six years old himself. Is keeping UP The
family reputation az the happy father
OF thirteen youngsters.
The Nornadic New Yorker.
Upon tho restless tenants OF New York
tho strikes OF the past year-structural
Iron workers and brIcklay ers--have had
tho singular effect Of making them less
nomadic. 1t has not been at all unusual
for family TO change Its domicile sew
eral times within the year, being tempted
thereto by the bribery and Establishments
OF landlords of houses newly built on
speculation, who were anxious to fill
their flats with tenants In order to sell
out quickly.
Now-a-days n tenant not, only has no
indueement to move. but he even finds
1t difficult70to get new apartment. He
must pay an increased rent. and has no
escape to new landlord. Formerly. at
the first OF each month It was ono OF
