Wall street furry, instead or weaken

impetus.
That many who had money tied up
IN the banks decided, when they got
1t out, to invest it in something they
could see and know where 1t was al
any old time, is the way one real estate
man puts it and in which it is viewed
by several. This meant new casn ouy-
ers for not only farm lands, those pre-
ferred, but the better class OF CITY
property, and these will alone SVEN
the list of transactions in the near 1u-
ture in no inconsiderable degree.
Buyers who are in the market for
city property are further demanding
that it be modern and of the pest oe-

as a fair price for lots even today, are
holding on and will hold on. with
firm belief in the future of this city,

These have an abiding faith in city
property values, which they regard as
now far too low, and expect to see

people get their eyes open.

property is about the samd-just SO
much moving and no more. I think
values are higher in both farm and city
property, though buyers are not SO
numerous. I believe the records will
show that there are fewer transfers
than at this time last year. There will
likely be about the same, possibly
little more building than in 1907, though
the financial stringency has undoubt-
edly affected the market. One thing is
certain-there has got to be an increase
In the census list of Topeka, or people
have got to quit building soon, unless
they want a whole lot of vacant houses.
w. M. Forbes & Co.: We are having
considerable inquiry now and are SELL
ing some stuff I don't think there will
be as much building as last year but
the situation is not diScouraging. There
Is no money stringency here; our jan
uary sales were better than last year.
There are no present indications OF a
slump in prices. A good many vacant
houses are on the rental list. but as
rule they are not very desirable. Many
have built homes Of their own in the
last two years and, moving in, have left
the old ones unoccupied. There is some
inquiry for rental property but not so
much now as there will be a little later.
Altogether, however, the situation is
entirely satisfactory.
The Strauss Agency think tner6
have been more calls for vacant lots
since the first of the year than for
some time previous All really good
houses in town are occupied. There is
quite a good demand for farm land
and there is no sign Of any drop in
prices. 1t looks as if we ought to have
fair spring trade.
Dawson & Pierson: Many inquiries
and lots Of prospective buyers make
the situation look fairly good just now.
There is considerable talk of building
during the coming season. Farm land
is in good demand considering the fin
ancial furry, whole lot better than
we expected two months ago. Prices
are holding stiff, If anything little
more so, as people realize that there 1s
no better investment for their surplus
money than eastern Kansas farming
land and the farmers consequently
don't care to sell their holdings.
A. d. Jones & Co.: Business with us
has been exceptionally good for the
last 60 days, though before that 1t was
dull for a time because of the panic.
It looks as if conditions will be good
for some time to come. Prices hold
steady, especially in farming lands, the
demand for which shows a consider
able Increase The season for activity
in city property has not yet fairly be-
gun. as it runs from about March !
70 July. but we have several good pro-
positions for building and are entirely
Satisfied with the situation as we find
