Real Estate
In The Journal

The problem in selling real
estate is to find the One-and
there's only one-per5on to
whom the property would be
worth most.
Sometime, in the course of a
few days or fortnight. the
prospective buyer to whom your
property would be worth most
will read the real estate adj
yeptisements in the Journal. He
may read them every day--he
may read them once week
But he reads them; you can be
sure of that And yours must
be there when he does. If it is,
your problem is pretty nearly
solved. If it isn't, you have still
got your problem, and your
property.

a slight extent Rumors of the iden-

/ the purpose of some to depress
price for profit, furnished the leading
motive for selling. The depre sion is

The selling of coppers was attribut-
ed to large extent to Boston and

nation the accumulation OF surplus
stocks Of metal still going on, the
sharp drop in the London price Of
metal today, and the feeling OF dis
enlargement over the sustained rate
Of productions OF metal with no cor
responding expansion in demand.
The selling of United States Steel
at the same time was an influence.
The quarterly dividend, which was

than lost again today. The selling of
