REDUCED FRENCH DUTIES.
Conference in Progress on the New
Tariff Act.

WASHINGTON Nov. 11.-Confer-
ences now in progress, taken in con-
nection with the recent return from
Paris of the French Ambassador, in
dictate early negotiations regarding
the method of applying the new tariff
as to French imports.
Preliminary to the real issues must
be the disposition of the question whe-
Their a concession of reduced duties
by France upon a Limited number of
American articles, while retaining the
maximum duties on all others, would
relieve France from the charge of ''un-
due" discrimination and enable the
Treasury Department to allow all
French imports the minimum rates.
The weight of official opinion is
strongly in favor of the allowance of
the French claim to the reduced du-
ties in consideration of q partial list
of remissions on their side. Should
the President conclude that under the
second section of the Payne-Aldrich
act nothing less than the concession
of the entire French minimum sche-
dulles will warrant him in extending
a like privilege to France, then a
tariff war between the two countries,
in the opinion of some Of the tariff
experts, becomes possible.
Should the President accept the de-
partmental view, then the negotia-
tions would be fairly launched, with
the purpose on the part Of the French
Ambassador Of obtaining the full mi
nimum American tariff rates in ex-
change for the smallest possible list
of American goods to be placed or
the French minimum schedules.

NO CRANBERRY TRADE ABROAD.
Consuls Say Foreigners Turn UP Their

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11-Cranber-
ries so far have never caused a dip
lomatic imbroglio, but the Department
of Commerce and Labor sets forth to-
day the repots of its Consuls General
in England, France and Germany, the
tenor Of which is that the inhabitants
of these countries turn up their noses
at it and decline to be converted 10
its use.
ohm L. Grifiths, Consul General at
London, declares that thr is practi-
cally no demand for cranberries out
side tof London, and this dmand
comes almost entirely from the Anne
rican colony there. The same state
ment practically is made by Franz,
H. Mason, United States Consul Cen
eral at Paris. In addition, Mr.. Ma
son says in his report the French r9-
gard the serving of cranberry sauce
with turkey or other fowl or game
"as a mild form Of barbarism"
The necessity for finding a foreign
market for the berries is evidenced
by reports to the department that isis
years crop promises to be practically
twice as great as that of last year.

MERCANTILE DISTRICT
OVINGNORTHWARD
Government Activity on Pennsylvania Aveme Causing
Expansion of Shopping Section Property
Values on the Increase

What will constitute Washington S
future business section may best be de-
termined by what portions OF her pres
ent commercial center have experienced
the greatest increases in property value
during the past few years.
This undoubtedly indicates that the
lines of growth are north from L street
to. and including New York avenue, and
west Of Seventh street to Fifteenth
street. In this section the average rate
Of increase, canservatively estimated,
has been 10 per cent.
One factor has been entirely re-
sponsible for the shifting of the busi-
ness center, as well as its expansion
this the purchase by the Government
of the south side Of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. for public buildings. Not only has
the Governments operations resulted in
pushing business interests farther north,
but it has greatly increased realty
values in the immediate neighborhood
of Pennsylvania avenue, and caused a
drought OF property of any kind being
placed on the market for sale.
Stimulated Values.
From the moment the Government s
Pennsylvania avenue policy became
ingtoh's downtown real estate section.
The effect, at first, was TO stimulate
values, where the Governments activi-
ties were centered. but this stimulation
has gradually crept north, northeast and
northwest until no piece of property be-
Seventh and Fifteenth streets ana south
of New York avenue has failed TO re-
cord an increase In value as result
of It,
With the constant stimulation from
the Cove -nment's development Of Penn
sylvsnia avenue, and with the impetus
from Union station, which is on line
with the White House, the Treasury
building and the State. Navy and War
Departments, it is evident that the ter
ritory between this line and Pennsyl-
Vania avenue, being limited to a de-
gree, will attract more attention than
any other part of the National Capital
during the next few years. 1t promises
TO witness unprecedented activity in real
estate transactions and a remarkable
advance in values until property will
reach the point where 1t will not be
placed on the market TO a very limited
extent, after which the business section
may be expected to advance even north
OF New York avenue.
The Greatest Activity.
Eleventh and Thirteenth streets, in
the expanding business section, have
The Washington times., 1909-04-17

recorded the greatest real estate &C
tivlty during the past two years. This
has been due largely TO the fact that
they have better widths than any other
streets in the section. The increase In
value on certain sections of these
streets between Pennsylvania avenue
and New York avenue has been as
high as % per cent.
on O street, between Ninth and
Tenth streets, there has also been
marked activity during the past three
years, which has consisted chiefly in
the alteration of buildings. In the ma
lority Of cases they have been made
into up-to-date business houses and
Immediately rented or sold. These
transactions have invariably proved
prontsble 10 the original seller and the
investor.
With the value increases OF the past
two years taken into account, the av-
erage price at which property can now
be bought on Pennsylvania avenue, be-
tween Eleventh and Fifteenth streets
ranges from $50 TO $50 a square foot.
Between the same streets, on F street,
the values range from $50 to $50 4
square foot, on G. street. from $40 to
$50 a square foot; on II street. from s.
10 so square foot, and on New York
avenue from s. TO $50 a square foot.
Downtown Section.
That the downtown section will wit
ness extensive improvements during the
next few months in the way Of large
commercial buildings, and that they
will be justified by conditions is as
sured- Already, several large sales of
property have been made, and II IS prac-
ucally certain that on one of these,
which is the site occupied by the old
Citizens National Bank on Fifteenth
street. a mammoth hotel will be erected.
Another large hotel is almost &. neces-
silly In the purchase Of the Fifteenth
street property IL IS rumOred that the
Riggs House, which adtoins it. is TO be
torn down and a hotel built which will
occupy the entire space comprised in
the two lots.
Cpe OF the large sales of the year
consisted in the transfer of the prop
erty located at the southwest corner of
Fourteenth and @ streets. This PROP
erty, II is practically certain, will soon
be dedicated TO some large business
enterprise. The site is a good location
for department store.
With the great increase in the value
OF business property in washington
this class Of property has become pref
erable to realty holdings of the same
kind in other cities as security for
loans. As a result a great deal of out
side capital is assisting to develop the
section, both directly and indirectly
and there Is more than an even chance
or the 10 per cent increase already real
iz1u being doubled within another five
years.

PETWORTH REALTY
GETS AN IMPETUS
Fifty Houses and Improved
Public Schools Are Be-
ing Constructed.

with fifty houses in course OF con-
struction, with improved school facili-
ties and plans under consideration for
the erection OF several churches, build
ing activity in Petworth this spring
promises to establish new record for
that section of Washington.
,Jne feature has been largely resp0ns-
ible for Petworth's development--the
fact that its thoroughfares are laid out
IN absolute conformity with the streets
and avenues of the Capital City, thus
making it popular as a residential sec
tion.
This feature, augmented by the con-
siderable development which has been
brought about IN consequence Of 1t, as
the section has now attained the pro-
portions OF a fulI-hedged suburban dis
trict. assures the subdivision of coming
IN for even greater attention this year
from the home-seeker and the investor.
All the streets of Petworth, which les
in the northwest section of the city,
bordering Soldiers Home, are ninety
feet wide. The avenues are 10 feet
wide. The blocks are generally parallel
Ograms. excepting where avenues inter
sect, and every square has a fifteen
foot alley. With this as the situation,
IL IS not surprising that the section has
been built up largely with detached and
semi-detachcd houses.
From the hOme-seeker's standpoint,
which influences that Of the investor,
a new stimulus viii be given the demand
for Petworth real estate, with the install
lation of the improved car system May
l. This system means that there VIII
be a through service TO the center of
the city, thus saving the annoyance Of
transferring at the Seventh street loop.
The service, in all probability, will cut
the present twenty-minute schedule
down TO fifteen minutes.
The District Government has contrI-
buted no small amount TO the work
OF planting trees on the principal streets
of the section and otherwise improving
it's generally attractive appearance.
The effect OF this may be seen at any
point along Georgia avenue, which is,
probably. the best equipped and best
kept boulevard in the subdivision. This
road is one of the great highways OF
the District, extending from Florida
avenue to the District line and connect
ing with Rock Creek Park by the Mill
tary roac and Soldiers Home through
Park road.
In the last FIVE years 200 houses have
been erected in Petworth. This has
been at the average rate OF increase OF
forty houses a year, while this year
the number will probably exceed 100
