DEALS IN REALTY
ARE ON THE TAPS
Several Big Projects Are Being
Arranged by Visiting
Capitalists.
g homes are striving for

The real estate market during the
past week was quieter along general
lines than it has been for some time
past. 1t is known that several big
deals, with figures running up into the
hundreds of thousands, are in the max
ing. It is not unlikely that these deals
will be cOnsummated before the end of
the week just beginning. Practically
the only activity of the past week was
in the sale of lots in suburban subdi-
visions.
Some dealers attribute the falling of
in business to the election Tuesday. The
element Of uncertainty Is said to have
caused a number Of prospective buyers
to postpone buying until the election
was over.
The demand for homes was not so
brisk as during previous weeks, and the
sales of this class of property were
small. There was a good demand for
homes of moderate rental. In fact, the
demand far exceeded the supply. Deal
ers report that they could rent hun
dreds of homes at rental figures from
SIS to $3.50 per month.
The presence Of a number Of big
eastern capitalists in the city has
caused various rumors to gain curren-

SALT LAKES BUILDING
BOOM ATTRACTS NOTICE
Eastern Trade Journal Calls Atten-
ton to the Remarkable Record
Made Here.

That the building activity Of Salt
Lake has attracted interested men in
other parts of the country is shown in
the following report from Carpentry
and Building, well known building
journal, in its November issue:
Concrete construction seems to be
growing in popularity in salt Lake to
an astonishing degree, and it is TO be
noted that a great deal of work of this
character is being done in comparison
with the amount of buildings erected.
This, Of course, refers more especially
to structures intended for business and
manufacturing purposes
The amount of capital called for by
the permits issued in September from
the office of A. B. Hirth, inspector OF
buildings, was SS17, 100, although only
seventy-seven permits were issued. In
September last year III permits were
taken out, but the estimated cost of the
work was only 1917, OBS, thus showing
that the present work projected is of a
decidedly more pretentious character
than was the case a year ago. Then
it will be recalled, much Of the work
was in the nature of small buildings
repairs and alterations.
THE contrast of the amount of work
done thus far the present year with q
year ago is decidedly striking, the In
crease being a trifle over 100 per cent
According TO Inspector Hirth, the value
Of building Improvements from Jan. !
to Sept. 80, inclusive, was s6.04S, 42o
whereas in the corresponding period OF
1908 the value was 2.91S, 020
THE prices OF building material are
not sufficiently high 20 have had any
appreciate effect in the way of retard-
ing building operations, and the in
crease this year over last has been due
to the steady and heavy growth of the
city. 1t is interesting to note that 1905
was by far the largest building year the
city has enjoyed, and this speaks vol
umes for the figures for 1907

THREE LOTS ARE SOLD
Salt Lake Men Purchase Five Resi-
dence Sites in Federal
Heights.

The completion OF the big scheme OF
improvements undertaken in Federal
Heights for the building of a handsome
semi-suburban residence section. and the
prospect that the tract would be taken
over as a portion Of the city, has appar-
emily stimulated activity there IL the &C
QUESTION of home sites, and the past week
has witnessed the sale of three building
lots to business men of the city, all Of
whom have declared their intention Of
erecting new homes there in the near fu-
ture. The improvements viii approx
mate a cost Of $4,000.
F. z. Marcy, manager FOR the Ais
Chalmers company. has purchased lots

park, at the head Of South Temple street.

BUSINESS MAKING
DEMAND FOR CASH
Activity So Great That Large
Amount of Capital Is
Required.

The current demand for money is re-
ported by local banking men to be so
strong that the banks can take their
pick as to whom to loan desired cash
The hurry to complete many buildings
now under course of construction on
which deferred payments are due is
said to be the cause for this great de-
mand. Business generally was good
during the past week.
The hardware trade reports a con-
tinued gratifying condition, with bust
ness for the month Just closed at 10 to
20 per cent better than that of October,
1908. There has been a general increase
in staple goods, especially in builders
hardware. Much trade is going into
southern Idaho. Orders are still being
received for goods for spring delivery.
Sales of ali kinds Of sporting goods
were heavy.
With the lumber trade quiet times
continue to be the rule. There is
general tendency toward increased
prices in fir lumber, and pine is getting
very scarce as there was not enough
cut during the summer to supply the
increasing demand. The scarcity Of ee-
ment is reported TO be equivalent to
famine.
The advent OF colder weather is hailed
by the wholesale dry goods trade as
harbinger of better trade conditions
Cotton goods are advancing in price,
and and it is hard to say just when the
advance will stop. Jobbers report the
general trade outlook as uncertain, and
retailers are cautious, not buying be-
yond their immediate requirements. The
demand for hosiery is active, and silks
continue to be good sellers.
While business has been quiet with
the retail dry goods trade on account of
the long spell of warm weather, the
coming Of colder weather means a gen
eral Improvement in trading. The call
for heavy wear has not been so marked
as during October. 1908. when cold
weather came earlier than 1t has this
year. Buying by the public was prin-
cipally Of staple goods
