occupy them. The complaint of empty
suites in such buildings, it is expected,
will not be heard to the extent that it has
been, and in that respect the renting sea-
son is pronounced to have been q very
successful one
AS to houses, the market is said to be
fairly good, and a marked reduction has
been made in the list Of those for rent.
In fact. 1t is said at the office Of one OF
the largest renting agencies in the city
that practically all the dwellings, that re-
main unrented are that that are
| not in very good condition and belong
| houses.
1t is not denied there are still a
good many houses for rent and also
there are vacancies in the apartment
| houses but, all things considered and
more especially the many additions made
to the housing accommodations of the city
during the past year, it is thought the
present condition OF the. market is de-
cidedly favorable, and that more renting
has been done than il was thought would
be the case by some observers.
Uneasiness as to Apartments.
This is especially true of the apartment
houses, about which there has been some
unea siness because of the many new ones
and on account of their large size. Some
men who. have followed the course Of
building have felt uncertain whether there
would be enough people to take up all
these apartments, and to a less extent the
same feeling has prevailed regarding
dwellings. On the part of the latter IL
is, of course, recognized that the large
percentage Of the new houses is dis
posed of in the sales market and does not
come at all on the rent market. At the
same time there are always houses for
rent, new as we'll as DID,, and it has
seemed to some, and they still look at
the situation in the same way, there
were too many houses in the market. 1t
is even now said there are a good many
standing idle, waiting for tenants, and
while there Is admitted to be some truth
in the statement, still it is claimed
this always has been the case and al
ways will be and is accounted for more
by the neglected condition Of the houses
than by lack of renters.
The letting up in the volume of the
building in this city during the past sea
son was largely a recognition Of current
conditions, which involved also the tight
ening in the loan money market. The
latter situation has not changed material
ly and, therefore, the financing of build
ing enterprises presents some obstacles at
the present time. 1t is probable the latter
circumstance, together with the urrent
condition Of the rent and sales market,
will result in conservative course on
the part of builders during the coming
season

CITY'S RENTING SEASON
NOW NEARLY AT AN END
Present Condition of the Market Is Regarded
as Decidedly Favorable by Real
Estate Authorities.

The renting season for this year has
almost ended. The great rush OF home
seekers, which is feature Of the real
estate market during the fall months, is
quiedng down. From now until the open
Ing Of the next season what may be
termed the occasional demand for houses
and for apartments will be easily met.
There is some renting Of houses and
apartments all during the year. as people
come to the city to make their home
here.
As a rule, however leases are made by
the year and they end some time in the
fall. so that naturally there is a more
or less general shifting at that time. and
this circumstance, coupled with the in
f1uence of the summer vacation period.
gives to the fall months their place in the
calendar of the real estate market. 1t Is
time Of house-hunting and of the
passing through the streets Of house,
hold goods. All the material men and
artisans are rushed to death, for large
proportion of the work that ought to be
spread out over the year must be done
at that time.
For when a house OF apartment is rent
ed there is always much to be done be-
lore the coming tenant leeiS SauSHeQ tndt
it will be possible for him to occupy it.
But somehow all is done that Is required,
the tenants get settled and soon every
thing is in running order for another
year. Then comes the taking account Of
stock on the part of those who supply
the market with houses and apartments.
The builders are much interested i'll

Fewer Building Operations.

II the close OF the season finds sup
ply of houses and apartments without ten
ants, then it may fairly be concluded
the market is overstocked. The far-sighted
men who build for the market prudently
decide to lessen their output. Such a
tendency in the market last year was a
contributing cause of the lessening amount
of building during the season now closing.
The testimony OF the current season is
not entirely clear or definite, as it comes
from variety Of brokers who handle the
business, and whose experience Is not
precisely alike.
1t seems to be the common experience
that suites in apartments have been taken
very freely, and that while the supply Of
new apartment houses this year was
rather large, still there were people to

looking with considerable favor upon
the candidacy Of L. NJ. Lyon for Pro

they have all come from Caldwell or
