FALL REAL ESTATE
SEASON FLOUR|SHES
Conclusive Evidence That
: Investor Is Once More
e. On Market.

This week may be said to have for
mally inaugurated the 1909 fall real
estate market
At all events, the total consideration
involved in the deals contaminated has
been considerably heavier than in any
week since the beginning OF fall and
n number of the sales have pretty con-
clusively established the fact that the
investor is once more on the market
and both ready and anxious to show
his faith in IT,
Two sales stand out prominently In
the weeks transactions. The principal
one was the transfer Of the Montrose
Hotel, located at Fourteenth and II
streets, for $50 GOO. Besides the amount
involved. which made il considerably
more than an ordinary transaction. the
plans Of the purchaser. S. w. Labrot,
OF New Orleans, are making the deal
an interesting one. from the public S
standpoint. Mr.. Labrot has announced
that the hotel will be extensively re-
paired and fitted out. as soon as the
present lease upon It expires.
The second largest sale was based
upon $4,000 consideration, and in
VOWED the transfer of the Clifton apart
msnt house, located on Clifton street.
between Thirteenth: and Fourteenth
streets. This building. while only three
stories high. is regarded as being one
of the handsomest small apartments
that have been constructed recently in
Washington. It's sale is principally in
teresting. for the reason that II tends
TO set aside any doubt that may exist
as 70 the desirability of investing in
apartment houses.
With hotel and IN apa rtmeDt house
sold for investments, and business too
good for anybody TO want TO sell A
store. about the only thing left for the
market TO do 10 show its versatility
was to influence somebody to build a
store. This IL did.
The announcement Of the purchase Of
of vacant ground at 1907 q street. on
which a five-stoTy store building is TO
be erected and completed before the
FIRST Of the yeaT. constituted another OF
the weeks unusual transactions.
The new building has been leased by
A. L. Bisseli. the G street jeweler. and
will be occupied b. him as soon as
completed. Mr. Bisssu plans TO en-
he will have use-for all five floors in
the structure.
With major deals figuring in the mar
ketS transactions to no small extent,
demand for moderate-priced property.
both improved and unimproved, has
kept kept steadily mp. There have been
a large number of sales of small resi-
dences. and suburban lots have come in
for attention.
Dealers are optimistic over the re-
suits of the week. They claim that
their predictions OF the summer that
there would be an active fall market
have come true
And. II early Indications may be re-
lied upon. they are not far wrong.
