There is. of course. a difference or opinion
I on that subject, and. IN fact. there IS no
certainty and cannot be until an actual
test has been made.
Outlook for the Future.
The change from June TO a month which
is the first Of the midsummer season was
not indicated in the extent of the business
as Is usually the case. Instead OF the pub
lie abandoning all concern in real estate.
there continued to be a stream Of inquiries,
and what was more transactions were con-
cluded. 1t is not strange therefore that
the outlook for the future should be re-
garded as very favorable and It IS thought
that like last year the business of the
coming season will make an early start.
BY the middle of August last year brokers
were renting houses as If It was the mid
die of September. and the demand kept up
until the supply was about exhausted. and
in consequence building was begun which
has been carried on to such an extent as to
make the fiscal year just closed the best
year In the building records that has ever
been known.
A Test of the Market.
Such test will be the condition of the
renting and the sales market as shown dur
ing the next few weeks. There are some
indications which go to show that there has
not been too many houses or apartments
erected. For example. real estate men who
that the leases in a large number of IN
stances are maintained during the summer
and also that the lists Of applicants for
suites in the buildings that are now being
completed are so large as to almost exhaust
the supply that will come from these new
buildings. OF course, they cannot say with
Certainty Just how many of the people who
have applied for suites in the new apart
ment houses will materlalze when tho
buildings are completed, but they say at
any rate they have their applications
There has been check I'm building opera
ton due TO the careful foresight OF the In
situations and men who lend money for
such purposes. They want TO see what is
going TO be done with all the buildings that
have been provided. and if il Is shown that
the market can take care of all and absorb
the present supply then, of course they
VIII be ready to continue their loans for
such purposes. They Will be inclined TO
look on the favorable side as much as pos
sibie, as there is necessity on their part to
make use of the large sums of money that
have been intrusted to their keeping.
The relation between the great Increase
in the banking resources of the city and
the activity in building is much closer than
1t would he thought possible at first sight
It is also a well-known fact that prac-
tically all the money used in improvements
in this city is furnished from local sources
and is not obtained from outside banks and
insurance companies. as used to be the case
to such a large extent few years ago.

SECOND-STORY PLAN.

rooms for the servants while along the
south side will be the domestic department.
a servants staircase and service elevator
will be in this part of the suite. as also will
be bath rooms in connection with the rooms
for the servants. The purpose of this plan
is to provide complete equipment for
housekeeping and on an elaborate scale.
As a Private House.
There is an entrance hall as well as a
lobby and the approaches to each fiat viii
be through a hall which will be lighted by
windows opening into an interior court.
There will be no windows into this court
from any of the suites except one from
the buffers pantry. The range of rooms
occupying the entire frontage of the build
ing can be used with good effect for social
affairs. the entire space can be thrown
practically into one room. Unlike most
buildings of the sort 1t will have no name
but Will simply be designated by the street
number, as Is the case with a private resi-
dence, thus carrying out the idea of a pri-
vate home.
Business Continues Good
1t begins to look that the usual summer
vacation in the real estate business was
going to miss connections this year. 1t
may get here, but If it does it will be so
belated that it will not have the chance
to make a long stay. Brokers are sur
prised at the present conditions, that there
should be customers in the city at this
period Of the year and that they should
want to do business. The fact is that the
inquiries are coming in and good PROPOSE
tons in the way of houses for sale receive
consideration.
The outlook for the coming season is re-
garded especially favorable, when it
can be said at the close of a season of
activity the one that has just past, that
the volume of business continues to be good.
The month of June, in the experience of
a large number of brokers. was one of the
best. if not the best, of the year in their
business The sales, especially of houses,
were numerous and in other departments
there was not lacking that interest which
is the sign of a good market.
Builders Interested.
1t is expected that the coming renting
season will equal the last in respect to the
demand. and If that is the case there is no
question but that there Will be great deal
of building during the coming year. This
latter condition, 1t goes without saying, de-
ponds largely upon the results of the rent
ing season.

builders will continue to erect houses and
also that the building of apartments will
go on.
In other words, the most interesting prob

ket at present Is TO be solved largely as
the demand during the next few months
develops. 1t will then settle the question
as to whether this city is overbuilt not.
