DEALS IN REALTY MADE,
DESPITE BAD WEATHER
Market Not Active, But Atten-
ton Given to Several
Large Subdivisions.

The weather conditions the past week
at least during the first half-have not
been very favorable for going about the
country to inspect property with the view
OF buying. This has been especially the
case with unimproved property, and which
at this stage in the development Of the
city lies for the most part IN what is
classed as the suburban region. A good
deal of it is in the open country, where
sidewalks are not as yet laidand paved sur
faces of streets are in prospect, but not
as yet realized.
But entirely outside of such conditions.
when the skies are overloaded and the
outlook is gloomy and the ground is
moist and damp, it is difficult for the
buyer of a lot for home to picture what
the surroundings would be under more
propitious circumstances. With clouds
heavy with rain and nature respondent. it
seems impossible for men to resist the in
fluence and they become in turn despond-
ent and gloomy.
Has Depressing Effect.
At any rate, whatever the cause, it is
generally recognized by real estate sales
men that the weather has good deal to
do with the impression that view Of
property has on the mind Of the average
prospective buyer.
But still, despite meteorological vagaries,
brokers who have suburban property to
bring to the attention Of the public have
found there is considerable interest. and
during the past week number of trans
actions have been closed. For the most
part these have related to property which
was viewed the previous week when the
spring sunshine and the dry ground made
personal inspection a pleasure. AS soon
as the outside surroundings are better 1t
is expected there will be good deal OF
business done.
The opportunities presented to those
who wish to invest in unimproved ground
or building lots are at this time more
numerous than is the case usually at this
period of the year, owing to the opening
up of acreage. property in the vicinity
of the city.

Naturally much interest is shown by
brokers, property owners and others in
the current market for houses. Accurate
information as to the real state of this
phase of the general market is important
to those who are building and also to
those who are intending to build, well
as to those who. have money to lend. 1t
may be concluded from the present condi-
ton that this information is quite gen
orally diffused. and apparently it is due
to such knowledge that those most
familiar with the situation have reduced
their building operations.
There has been a let up in this respect
for two or three years past. and at the
beginning of a new building season it
may be said the same policy is to prevail.
On account of the conservative course of
those who have money to invest the con-
dition of the market is looked upon as
much better than it would have been it
there had been no diminution In the vol
ume of building.
Meets Current Demands Only.
The new building going on is regarded
as only sufficient to meet the current de-
mand, which is not as large as was the
case a year or so ago. The houses now
going up. it is said by those who are
interested, are being sold and the supply
is just about equal to the demand. There
may be thought to be some indications of
larger supply of houses than can be
disposed Of, but it is believed such ap-
pearances are misleading.
Another phase of the market that is
attracting considerable attention at the
present time is the effect the expansion
of the residence section of the city and
the building of new houses is having on
the demand for houses that have been
in use for some time. 1t is the opinion
of some observers that there are a good
many of what are called old houses
standing vacant, and while such re-
suit is attributed to the competition of
the new houses, 1t is also believed the
condition of the older buildings may
have something to do with their being
idle.
Not a New Condition.
The latter cause is not a new one, and

is likely to continue to have an inf1u-
ence on the value of such property, for
it illustrates the difference in the ability
of people to handle property of this
sort. In the great majority of cases
houses for rent have individual owners,
and their condition depends on the judG-
ment displayed by the various owners
owners do not believe in making re-
pairs except as they arc absolutely forced
to do so, and then there is another ella
that depends upon the income for its
living. and anything taken from the
rent money means a loss which they can
ill afford to stand.
Between the class of owners who can
but won't make repairs and those who
have not the means there are those who
lack judgment in knowing how to man.
age their affairs and others still who
are careless and neglectful. Whatever
the cause. the result is the same. The
tenant betters himself if he can AMI
leaves the house vacant, and then the
necessary changes have to be made be-
fore a new tenant can be secured. 1t is
believed that the contrast between the
new houses and the old has a great
deal to do with the change that is going
on and the moving of residents from the
older to the newer sections of the city.
Preferences of the People.
But in many instances people prefer
having their homes away from the CEN
ter of things, and then, on the other
hand, there is a large class who want
to live within walking distance of the
business section of the city. This variety
in the tastes of people as to the location
of their homes is what helps to preserve
some balance and maintains values in the
older resident localities, while at the same
time new sections are being developed.
In the same way there are home seekers
who want locations in the country or are
satisfied with suburban surroundings,
SO that on account of the diversities in
the likes and dislikes of the public the
various classes Of property find a market.
There is no such a thing, in the history
of the growth of cities. of one section
being absolutely deserted in favor of
newer one, but always there is a place
for the older section in the life Of the
community, however far the population
may spread from the original starting
place.

but, as is we'll known, the growth of
