NORTH HUDSON PLANS
Builders Busy from West Ho-
bOken to County Line.

The cry of hard times is a mere pessi-
mistic wall when one visits the towns of
North Hudson and observes the prosperous
building boom that each is enjoying. From
West IIobOken to the Bergen County line
houses of the cottage type are going w
daily and builders are not complaining.
In West Hoboken and the town of Union
the latter better known as Union Hill, there
is demand for nathouses, and many three
story ornate wooden buildings are being
erected. The realty companies are doing a
brisk trade and the banks are oaning
money to build. confident that the value OF
property will continue to increase as 1t has
for the last several years.
There is a ready market for improved
and unimproved property especially the lat

Total Value of Manhattan Prop

AUCTION RECORD S45, 900, 900
Expert Says New Year Will Offer
Vast Opportunities to the
Realty Traders.
BY Bryan L. Kennedy.

The outlook for Manhattan realty is most
encouraging and there is a reasonable GER
tainty of much greater enhancement In val
ues during the coming twelve months.
Fundamental conditions are sound and
they are growing better. The old year has
been one of reaction in general business,
but realty has been marking time rather
than receding Growth Of population and
business has been too strong and TOO IN
sistent to permit Of serious reaction In real
estate. Speculation and imitation have been
held down to a minimum, while practically
the entire market movement has been pased
upon actual supply and demand. Even on
this basis the volume Of sales, mortgage
loans. new building and Improvement oper-
ations has been fairly equal to that OF the
preceding year, and well above the average
of the last decade, which had recorded the
most substantial movements that have oeen
seen i'm New York real estate. Our normal
wears now are better than boom years or a
short time ago. No one can prophesy TO
what extent another genuine boom might
take us.
Manhattan sales during the year nave
gone we'll above $1,000 oo0, and builders
have invested GI,tO,Vcp III HtW "Oih' WIN
81. 800 90 more in alterations. This SHOWS
the tremendous central pressure that Is
forcing development outward into the sub
urbs.
Auction sales alone have come close to
si5.O00OOO in Manhattan and The Bronx
This reflects an immense market Shrewd
students of values have taken many quick
profits upon properties bought at these
sales. Estates have found them most
prompt and available medium for turning
their holdings into cash at comparatively
short notice. The new year Will undoupt-
edly offer a much stronger market for
Manhattan and Bronx properties OF all
classes, with more active bidding at all
sales.
The auction market has also been one OIL
the most useful factors in the SUBURBAN
movement II offers ready medium tor
the distribution of large outlying tracts In
the path of development Holders OF such
parcels are able to place them at good
prices with both speculative operators AMI

Where Buyers Will Be.

With new rapid transit construction under
way during the coming year, there VIII Dc III
creased operations both for expanding home
centres and for opening further outside
lands TO make room for the big yearly in
crease of population. The auction sales OF
the coming year promise to offer vast OPP
portunities for old holders, as well as for
operators. home builders and private in
vestors.
With the gradual improvement In general
business conditions now reported in practl-
cally all lines OF trade, combined with re-
turning confidence on the part Of investors
generally. 1t is my firm belief that every
branch of the real estate market will In
crease in activity and that the volume OF
business done in 1911 will be greatly ex-
cecded in 1912. The outlook now is that
there will be none Of the dulness coinci-
dent with a Presidential year. but, instead
the constantly increasing demand for real
estate as the best and safest of all invest
ments will make itself felt more strongly
than ever before.

Democrats n nominee of the Calibre of

cans, Taft is all that is expected For
that reason there can be no apprehension
as to the election, as the country would be
