as much building the general state of
the realty market seems to justify. OF
course. such is merely a contingent view,
for changes may take place in the financial
situation as to entirely alter the present
outlook,
Demand for Houses.
The interesting phase in the present con-
nection, however Is that the lack of loana-
Bile money appears to be the chief reason
for predicting a let-up in build ng opera
tons. There does not seem to be any doubt
as to the demand for more house room. In
fact dealers say very generally they find
purchasers for houses. and from that point
OF view they have no complaint to make of
the market.
1t will be acknowledged that such stu
alton Is one of better promise than one
where there Is a prospect of plenty of
money. but of no market for the product
OF the money when changed into houses
The probability. however Is there will not
only be supply of the necessary funds for
building operations. but the demand for
houses will continue to be active during the
season.
As to Country Property.
The past few days of rather high temper
atures and the Indications on the part of
nature that spring is near at hand, to say
nothing of that generally recognizable feel
ing which affects all classes, and which Is
generally known the spring fever" has
the customary result In turning the atten-
ton of people toward the country Those
who have any notion of locating beyond the
bounds of the city either for the season or
for an indefinite time become interested in
the advertisements of suburban property
and there is quite noticeable exodus from
the city of those who take excursions into
the country for the purpose of looking
around.
In other words. the time of the year for
the inquiry for country property. both i'm
proved and unimprOved. has arrived and 1t
may be expected large share of the atten-
ton of those In the market will be taken
up with this specially of the season.
