SALES STILL Hang FIRE

Deals and rumors Of deals have been
floating around during the past week
embracing the purchase OF about all the
eligible sites in the business section of
the city. more particularly that norton
bounded by Pennsylvania avenue TO
New York avenue on the north and
running from Ninth street to Four
teenth street west. AS yet no definite
information can be obtained as to the
successful accomplishment OF any Of
them, but agents are still busily en-
gagged III endeavoring TO effect arrange
ments and it is not unlikely that
among the number of them some NAV
come to a successful termination. The
0lHlculties seem to arise from the high
prices asked on the one hand, or the
TACT that the properties are tied up in
estates in the other, which makes the
question OF title one of grave import

Thursday-Overtures had been made
for the corner of Fourteenth and c.
streets. which has a frontage OF 100
feet on the former and 80 feet on c.
street, and IS held at $50 per foot The
price while considered high would not
be a barrier. but that II is a part of
an estate and is hedged around with
some difficulties
Friday-Pennsylvani avenue was the
center OF attraction and a large deal

well worth the reporting

Pioneered F Street
With Handsome Store
W. B. Moses ForeSaw the Future Trend of
Business and Took Advantage of It---FiiS
Sons Have Completed His Work.

The firm was established in Wash
inEtOn by William B. Moses. January /
1862. and has a record for honesty and
industry. and is now nearing the one
half century mark
IN 1860 W. =. Moses moved from the
present Odd Fellows Hall. on Seventh
street, into the American House. which
was building of the same proportions
and size as the present Saks building
and stood upon the same ground.
Twenty years later in 1855, with the
insight Of the pioneer, he purchased the
corner Of i street and Eleventh street
and built the first section OF the pres
ent store building. which at that time
was 80 by 100 feet. and seven stories
above the ground and two below. It was
believed by nearly every Washingtonian
THIS move meant a complete failure at
an early date, but his wisdom was soon
proved and his idea that + street was
the main business artery of Washing
ton has been taken up by others who
nave made fortunes out Of the increase
OF real estate purchased on the short
section between Ninth and Fifteenth
streets.
First Addition in Three Years.
in 1888 the business had grown to such
proportions that an addition. larger than
the first part. was erected, SO by 100
feet. and nine stories high. with an L
25 feet square.
In 1880 the business had again grown
TO such proportions that another addi-
uon was necessary and the + street

stories high. p by 100 feet exactly con-
