AS AN INVESTMENT
OF ACTIVITY In
BUSINESS PROPERTY.

1T should not for moment be cons4d-
cred that tho extremely satisfactory condi-
ton and upward tendency OF the real -es-
tate market In Washington Is in the nature
Of boom or anything else than the nor
NAL and healthy increase in the property
values OF a fast growing and important
CITY," remarked one of the largest operators
in town to Star man, In discussing the
question OF the city's expansion.
The property values in many of the chief
sections Of town have been below the real
value, and the present movement by trans
fer at enhanced values is an adjustment to
an equitable basis Of valuation with the
Increase of the city's growth and their In
terest producing capacity
There will be no reaction. but on the
contrary look for stif1 greater activity in
certain directions which are devoid Of any
sembiance Of imitation Of values The ac-
tivities In business properties have been
very marked. but in nearly all instances
the purchases have been made for invest,
ment. future rise In values and the interest
and rental Increment rather than the purely
speculative feature. This Is splendid sign
the local and outside investor in the future
of the CITY, and of the fact that properties
rent easily, remain rented and at satisfae-
tory returns on the capital invested.
THE facility of this gratifying exchange
has been largely developed by tendency
on the part of owners to make a fair price
for their holdings and let 1t go at that, CIV
ing the other fellow chance and enabling
them to turn their original investment and
aecruing profits over in further Investments.
And the fact that this money Iii most In
stances goes back into realty holdings Is
significant and indicative of the esteem In
which real property is held in this city over
other forms of Investment. as in stocks and
bonds, for example.

Healthy Tone Evident.

1.-THE fact is that the possibilities of the
future development of the city are now be-
coming more generally realized and under
stood by investors at large. instead of by
the very few who were far-sighted and
wise enough to observe 1t some time back.
1t is becoming recognized by this class of
investors that Washington realty holdings
constitute one OF the best forms of invest
ment In the country, and this Is one rea-
son why many sales have recently been
made by investors who have come from
other cities to place thier money here. /
have recently placed some large sums In
permanent investment here for New York
Philadelphia and Boston people. OF course,
we all know that in those cities there Is
ample opportunity for investment in local
holdings, but the fact that we get goodly
share Of this foreign capital unsolicited
means that Washington real estate has be-
come a recognized feature of permanent in
vestment and the big operators In other
cities share with us In our belief In our
future, and desire that some of their cap
ital shall draw it's interest here.
''Our business center is expanding and
eneroaching upon the contiguous reSiden-
tial sections very rapidly. much more so
than the casual observer has any idea of.
Blocks of stores and individual places Of
business are erected and opened only to be
Immediately rented; they don't lie idle, as In
some cities.
Expansion of Business Center.
This expansion of our business center is
deserving of more remark than l can give
you In this chat. There is no form of i'm
provement more Indicative of the solid,
healthy, permanent growth of city than
the expansion of the center of business
such as has been and is now being wit
messed in Washington: 1t has been remark
able in this city recently. but 1t has only
hey,1n / look fer still greater strides in
this direction within the next two years.
business property holdings of course come
high and are not within the reach of the
small investor and the present activity In
this line means that the big men with
money are putting it in the right dfrec-
lions.
While the increase In activity in other
lines of real property has kept pace with
business property. my comment is confined
to this class of investment. for the reason
that 1t Is a sure index to the condition of
the market In other lines. There have been
heavy investments and extensive improve
the business section which is the true ba-
rometer of what's doing In town in the
realty investment line.
II look for large increase In our perna-
nent population within the next five years.
Desirable residential property for rent Is
quickly occupied. and this applies not only
to the mansions in the northwest section of
tow n. bur TO the small two and three
story houses in other quarters, each of
original Investment. 1t is possible there
fore, for both the large and the small in
weston to find what he needs In Washington.
and that this double opportunity is being
taken advantage of is shown by the re-
suits

Forced Out of Business.

One OF the results of the enforcement or
the smoke law IN this District is found in
the retirement from business OF manu-
featuring concern. Owing to the repeated
fines Incurred Mr.. John Dodson who owned
and operated the Cooley limekins at the
foot OF L street northwest, has sold out and
gone Into another line OF business. He
gives this as the reason for the change
which he has made. His retirement from

A RECORD YEAR IN ExpoBTs

The fiscal year le05-'O6 broke all records in
the American export trade. Complete figures
3Or the twelve months have not yet been issued
Dut it Is clear that on the basis of returns tc

and mineral oils our exports viii reach a total
value OF more than 81, 1,7O0,OOO.OOO. showing q
gain Of at least S2OOOOOOOO over 19O4IO5
shipments Of products classed as agricultural
reached the enormous total OF Ss9O578 504a
gain OF s1S9,000OOO over the preceding year
The only record approaching this was made in
1s01, when the total for agricultural exports
was SS67.O00,O00 For twenty years. in fact
our exports OF raw products have been practi-
cally stationary, and our marked gains in for
eign trade have been due to the rapid increase
IN value OF our manufactured exports But
1eO5'o6 has seen a sudden squirt in agricultu-
ral sales. as well as continued gain In sales
OF manufactured merchandise. and these two
.nuuences cooperating have produced a wear
sn foreign commerce without a parallel
Hitherto expansion In one field Of trade has
been counterbalanced by a certain slackening
In the other. Up TO fifteen or twenty wears
ago our sales abroad were chiefly In fOodstuffs
and raw materials The percentage OF manu.

exports. In 1892 for instance, we sold abroad
agricultural products valued at S799,OO0OOO
In the next ten years the total fuctuated be-
tween S5200O0.00O in lS95-the low record
and SS67.O00O0O in I9Ol-the high record. The
average was about S72O,O00oOO. and that aver
age was barely exceeded In 1905
Il was even argued a year ago that we had
reached the limit Of our capacity as an ex-
porter OF cereals and that our future supply
would rarely exceed home demands. Some sup
port was given 10 this contention by the fact
that in 1904-'O5 our exports Of wheat amounted
In value 10 only 3,S99,OOO and our exports
Of oats 20 only 81, ,070,O00 Flour shipments also

TO little less than half Of our entire exports OF
agricultural products.
The exceptional harvests of 1905 have in
sense obscured the tendency most marked In
recent years in foreign commerce That ten
dency is toward the substitution OF manufact-
ured goods for raw materials as the mainstay
of our export trade. Steadily but surely we
are taking on the character and functions Of a
manufacturing nation, increasing our own i'm
ports Of manufacturers materials and our out
put and sale abroad Of finished products. That
is the secret of the recent extraordinary devel-
opment Of our foreign trade. and. though we
may still have years of unusual plenty which
viii yield us a surplus of foods, we shall con-
tinue TO forge ahead as a seller in the worlds
market chiefly through the assertion of our
industrial and manufacturing supremacy.

CEyTRAL AMBRToAN PBAoBMAKTyG.

It is gratifying to know that Guatemala and
Salvador have accepted this countrys offer Of
its good Offices for bringing about a friendly
conference between them for the settlement Of
existing troubles, and it is to be hoped that the
other states which are manifesting belliger-
ence will promptly cease their fighting or prep
arations for fighting and turn their attention
TO more profitable and more creditable doings
The disturbances of the last few weeks in and
around Guatemala have seemed to us about as
causeless, as wanton and as Improbable as any
that have ever occurred in those troubled lands.
1t would be a most dlscreditable thing to have
them go on at the very time when delegates
from those countries are assembling in the Pan
American Congress at Rio Janeiro
We must hope, too, that the settlement ef-
fected through the agency of the United States
will prove more enduring than some cOmpacts
which have been made by those states among
themselves. We recalled. the other day the
solemn compact for the maintenance of peace
and the encouragement of instructions into
which Guatemala, Salvador and their neghbOrs
recently entered. That compact seems to have
weighed less than the fine dust of the balance
when some sOrdid intriguers fomented trouble.
1t was ignored and failed in the very COntin-
gency for which it was most especially pre-
pared. The memory of that compact should
have restrained the governments of those states
from anything resembling hostile conduct But
there was apparently no memory of it.
1t is lamentabe to see states thus forgetful
of their own agreements. 1t would be most un-
welcome, to put it mildly, to see them presently
ignore a settlement which had been .aected
through the mediation of this cOs-4f7.F The
United States is always ready and glad to do the
work of a peacemaker. burdensome though it
may at times be. But every peacemaker likes
to see, and has a right to expect to see the
peace which he makes respected and maintained.
In accepting the good offices of the United
States, therefore, those countries should consider
themselves bound to a degree of constancy and
fidelity such as they have not always shown.
