A GOOD BUSINESS
FOR THE WINTER
REAL ESTATE MEN LOOK FOR
MUCH "DIRT" CHANGING.
THINGS ON UPGRADE TREND
Railways and Express Companies Sec
ing an Incrcasc-Much Build
ing To BE Done.

That the winter will see an almost
unprecedented movement in real es-
tate circles here is the prediction Of
Tulsa real estate men. At the present
time. not much property is changing
hands, they say. but this is nothing
extraordinary, but in fact very natur-
al at this season Of the year
I'm fact this is the time Of the
year which precedes the opening Of
fall and winter activities" said one
reai estate dealer yesterday,
That big sales OF Third Street prop
erty in the vicinity of Main street Will
be recorded this fall is the statement
of one real estate man who is credited
with knowing" The early occu-
pancy of the ten-story hotel and the
Daniel Department store building,
will result in a big boom on East
Third Street, and some record prices
for real estate in that section will be
be p::d. Right now much addition
stuff is being sold, but very little close
in property is changing hands
That the month of August was one
Of commercial progress and advance
ment all along the line and that bus
mess is now on a firm up grade trend,
is the general concensus of opinion
among real estate dealers and mer-
chants.
One of the encouraging features of
the past thirty days is the reports OF
the local freight and passenger agents
that larger and rapidly growing bus
mess has been noted recently The
express companies also have enjoyed
better business, which Is one OF the
best indications that money is more
plentiful, as much Of that class of
business arises from people having a
surpluss Of cash which they would
horde industriously during a period
of severe retrenchment.
The recent announcement by the
city commissioners that contracts for
one hundred and twenty-five blocks
of asphalt paving would be let this
month, insures the employment of
scores of laboring men this winter,
and Is welcome news to the poorer
classes, although it is conceded that
but few men are out Of employment
here at present.
Building operations are good, and
in fact have kept up a good steady
gait all the summer. The ten-story
hotel is practically completed. but
many residences are being erected
while a local realty man said yester-
day that he knew definitely of at
least 100000 worth of new busi-
ness blocks on which work would be
started before January /.
The building permits issued during
the month recently closed amounted
to several thousand dollars in value
over any previous months permits in
the history of the city.
The return of the summer-resort
contingent is proceeding rapidly, and
this in itself will add thousands of
dollars every week to retail business
of the city Retailers in all lines are
enjoying better business than for sew
eral months past because there are
more people to serve and the buyers
are not as slow spending their money
as during the hot spell.
Reports from the freight Offices of
the different railroads reveal a mark
ed increase in the city's Wholesale
business.
In fact. general recuperation from
the despondent symptoms of the past
summer has taken place.
