try. The limited area within the Dis
trict lines Is being built up more and

created farther and farther from the
center Of the city. Land is increasing

of supply and demand. The buying IS
heavier than ever, and the available
amount Of land is diminishing.
With such q situation existing, and,
in addition, with people cIamoring FOR
more apartments or houses or rooms

REAL ESTATE MEN
HAVING BUSY TINE
Activity in Sale of Proper
ties Is Feature of
Week.

Activity in the sale OF properties OF
moderate size, and a lack Of consum-
mattcn Of big deals, were the features
Of the local real estate market during
the past week. Progress was made,
however, toward the final closing Of
several large transactions, so that the
realty field was by no means occupied
exclusively by the smaller deals.
What with the sales of properties and
the rush OF would-be tenants for flats
and houses the dealers had rather
strenuous week In addition. there were
the people who had purchased proper
ties or rented them previously and who
all chose the same time Il move into
them. These had TO be cared for by
the agents who had attended to the
previous business. The number Of sales
of properties was larger. moreover.
thar it was during the preceding week,
so il is easily seen that the week was
indeed a busy one
Increase in Population.
The city had its population increased
during the week by a good many thOus-
ands Of people. Most OF these, of
course. had already bought or leased
their homes for tie winter, or owned
them long since. But of those who had
waited until October before making
proper arrangements there were enough
hundreds to cause confusion worse con-
founded in some OF tie renting Offices
Each year the same grievous mistake
is made, with the result that many fam
lilies and individuals either are obliged
TO accept quarters which they dislike
or else to pay considerably more for
what they do get than they had in
tended TO pay.
No other city in the country presents
such a situation on October / Even
rents are doubled here on that date in
some cases. The state of affairs is

FOR RAPID TRANSIT, $25, 1000!
This Sum, at Least, Mr.. Metz Must Hand
Over to the Public Service Commission.

For some months there has been a dispute be-
tween the Public Service Commission and Con-
troller Metz as to whether the money OBTAINED
from the sale of buildings at Centre and Walker
streets the purchase OF which was necessltated
bv the subway loop. should be turned over TO the
sinking fund commission used for other rapid
transit purposes Yesterday the Sinking Fund
Commission. a special meeting. received an opln-
ion from the Corporation Counsel that according
to the rapid transit act all such moneys must be
used for rapid transit purposes
The entire amount to be received from the build
ines will not be than $1,000 but the disposi-
tion Of the money will establish precedent which
in the future may control the disposition OF millions
OF dollars.
Controller Metz contended that the money should
go into the general fund.- which is used for the re-
duction of the rate. When he was asked about
the opinion yesterday he declared that an agree
ment had been made with the Public Service Com
mission whereby the money would go to the gen
eral fund. This denied at the offices OF the
commission, where il stated that the money
would go into the hands of the City Chamberlain
until the commission decided whether not it
wished purchase additional real estate with IT.
In case such is not made of II the commission
may consent to the moneys going to that part of
the sinking fund which is used for the retirement
of rapid transit bonds This, ii is believed. would
be clearly within the provisions OF the law.

RUSHING EAST TO CATCH KAIsERIN.
Mrs. r. S. Mccormick, from Chicago, Hopes
to Make Close Connection.

Mrs Robert s. Mccormick, wife of the former
Ambassador TO France. accompanied by two maids
and much baggage, is now rushing eastward from
Chicago on the Pennsylvania Special OF the Penn
sylvania Railroad, in the hope OF catching the
Hamburg American liner Kaiserin Auguste Vic
toria which is scheduled to sail at 10 O'Clock this
morning If the train is on time Mrs. Mccormick
will arrive at the Jersey City station at $3.50 a m.
but 1t is doubtful If she will be able board the
Kaserin at the pier.
Mrs. Mccormick missed the eighteen-hour train
from Chicago and telegraphed the Hamburg -Ameri-
can Line to hold the steamer for her. AS this will
be Impossible. the company has arranged to have a
tug in readiness to overhaul the before she
gets to Sandy Hook and put the belated passenger
aboard. The Kaiserin will leave port to-day with a
record cabin passenger complement. Every state
room is filled The big liner will carry $40 first
cabin and So4 second cabin passengers.
