The REAL ESTATE MARKET
TRADING ALMOST AT A STAND
STILL IN MANHATTAN.

n outlying BOroughs Are BETTER OFT.
However, Enjoying q Record Demand
for inexpensive One and Two Family
Brick Dwellings Favored.
One would have to go back many years
to find another period OF such extreme
quiet in the Mani attain brokerage market
rs that which prevails just now. Last
weeks private sales were fewer by 50 per
cent. thar those Of the corresponding weea
n year ago. although the reaction which
is now under way had already then set in.
Season for season the Manhattan realty
market has shown a continuous decrease OF
activity since the spring Of 1909. The
immediate cause Of the downward tendency
was the collapse Of brick prices. which in
turn rave rise to a variety Of contributory
influences. The fall in the cost OF brick
not only brought about a depreciation in
every building constructed Of that material
but affected the value Of lots in all neighbor-
hoods where enough brick houses existed
to supply the immediate want on the part
OF tenants. This want had been amply
satisfied as regards middle grade flats and
tenements. but o as regards dwellings
and perhaps elevator fats.
Hence a Dor ougn 30 extensively built
up with fats and tenements as Manhattan
has experienced the greatest loss Of activity.
The other boroughs. with their larger
suburban areas, ave on the contrary
profted by the c~heapening Of the cost Of
brick construction. In all the outlying
sections. wherever the character Of the
n~eighborhood warrants it, builders are this
year using brick instead Of lumber in erect
ing one and two family houses. the demand
for which, owing to prospects Of improved
transportation, is now a most important
slow in recognizing that at present brick
construction is cheap. while frame con-
struction ia dear.
The plans filed for tenements, including
fats and apartments. during the last six
months show to what extent the building
Of multifamily houses has fallen of:

NEW TKNEMENrs PROJECTED.
MANuArrAN

These figures help to account for the
situation in the Manhattan realty mark ct.
In the central borough the loss in tenement
construction has not been compensated by
any substantial increase in other forms Of
building activity. This year, for instance,
s2l .OOO. 900 has been invested in new business
buildings. as against $40. 900, 600 a year ago.
In The Bronx, however. the loss has been
in large part made good by a record volume
Of construction of two family houses.
The decline Of trading in Manhattan,
though dating from the collapse Of brick
prices. has been helped along by the drift
of population toward the outlying boroughs.
In Brooklyn residence construction has
been extremely active. but 1t is believed
that the increasing population there will
render continued production on a large
scale necessary. In Queens construction
for the last six months has been in excess
Of that for the first half Of 1908. Here the
nfiux Of new tenantry has hardly begun,
and the new transit facilities will add ire
mendously to the fixed population Of the
borough. La The Bronx there is likely to
be a sustained demand for one and two
family houses.

TELEPHONE MENLEAvE,
Independent Companies Don't Like
Noftzger Bill.

The Kansas Independent telephone
men who have been in session for the
past two days, concluded their meeting
last evening and adjourned satisfied at
the showing made by their companies
and at peace with the world with but
one exception. AS body they do not
like the appearance of a bill which has
been introduced in the. legislature by
Senator Noftzger requiring exchanges
in the state to connect with other lines
when requested to do so by patrons
They claim that if this bill should
become law that it will work a hard
ship on the Independent companies of
the state as they could then be COM
PEELED to give the services of their COM
panies to their rivals whom they have
fought and claim to have whipped.
About 100 Independent Telephone
companies were z represented at the
meeting which was the largest ever held
in the state. Papers were read by
number of out of town men who are in
the city in the interest of supply
houses, as we'll is the owners of indie
pendent companies. A paper on the
toll board and its operation was read
by Miss Ethel Pankey, chief operator
for the Independent company in Tope-
ka, in which she paid a high compli-
ment to the character and intelligence
of the average operator.
