GREATEST ACTIVITY
IN HISTORY OF CITY
Neither Builders Nor Dealers Are
Alarmed at Heavy Build
ing Program.

Five million dollars worth of new
residences - principally the moderate
priced type-wiH be on the market in
time for the opening Of the spring
trade. If estimates now being made by
builders and operators may be relied
upon.
Of this amount. $3,255,5oO worth of
property is assured. Operations now
underway and about to be commenced
make it certain that property of this
value will be added L, local realty hold
ings by spring.
It is estimated that the operations
now being planned by smaller building
firms and individuals viii bring the
entire value of the new property 10 be
erected 10 the S5.OOO.eOO mark
The property already assured of being
constructed means that Washington will
experience the heaviest building activity
this winter and fall ever known in the
history of the Capital.
Wardman's Operations.
Harry Wardman's operations will rep
resent the biggest portion OF the s.. 255.-
800. as they alone win amount TO s., 49,
500. Mr.. Wardman viii construct $50
houses on property adjoining the Mat
tingly tract north OF Park road. on
Fourteenth street, valued at 100000; 10
houses In the Osborne tract, south OF
SauTs Addition, valued at 500, 600. and
no houses on Georgia avenue Lamont
and Keefer streets. valued at S4l0,5o0.
The second batch OF operations, Of
which there are eight in all, will be for
the construction OF 80 houses, located in
various sections of the city. aggregating
$4,000 in value. Several building firms
are represented in these transactions,
are hsafV a
real estate firm Of Thomas J. Fisher &
Co.
The third series of operations is being
financed and conducted by the building
firm OF Kennedy Bros II is for the
construction OF siXty-nine houses on
Rock Creek Church road, Water street
and Georgia avenue. tOtaling in cost
$S45,O0o. With plans being made for the
immediate construction Of houses by
practically all OF the smaller building
firms. IL IS estimated close to 1000 new
moderate priced residences Will be on
the market by the opening Of spring.
Suburban District Popular.
Much unimproved property in the sub
urban districts is now being bought for
building purposes. This is attributed to
the fact that owners have come to
realize that speculative buyers arc
practically the only buyers on the mar
ket. and that nothing is to be gained
by holding property at high prices with
the view OF dlsposing of it to Individual
buyers.
Recent land transactions have pretty
well demonstrated Che fact that the in
oividual buyer has practically disap-
peared from the market. Neither build
ers nor dealers are alarmed at the heavy
building program which has been
mapped out.
1t is believed Washington's rapid
growth is creating a demand for homes
which viii more than take care Of the
supply Of residences that will be on the
market in the spring.

StockYard Notes.

Beef demand. while not keen, is still
broad enough TO afford outlet for a
moderate supply of cattle, and the
country appears in mood to market
steers moderately.
Declines in cattle values do not nee
essarily start big run these days
The country is in a more agreeable
mood to buy corn.
Numerous lots of grassy cows are
now found among arrivals but buyers
do not yet discriminate against them
| However, the trade is of sharp dis
elimination against these kinds a little
later in the season.
1t is estimated that 10000 cattle were
fed at the various distilleries in Illinois
and kentucy this year. Some of them
have already been marketed, but the
bulk will come in June. Last year
stiller feeders struck it right, as the
market was at the highest point of the
year when they We're marketing their
cattle. This year there is prospect of
history being repeated. Feeders of
these slop cattle have not been in any
special hurry to send them in, feeling
mat future prospects are good.
Shipments of hogs last week were
largest for any week this month. Re-
ceipts also totaled larger than any pre-
vious week this month.
A prominent trader is of the opinion
That Chicago hog receipts from March
TO November will be as large as last
year altho thru the summer a decided
shortage in numbers will show up.
Feeders bought 1.345 sheep and lambs
last week. against SIS the previous
week, 4,121 same week last year and
200 corresponding week two Yeas
ago.
