ACTIVITY INDICATED
| IN ALL LINES Of REALTY
Shannon & Luchs, Brokers,
Give Summary of Business
of Past Week.

Activity in all branches of realty was
| indicated in a summary of the business
| Of the past week as presented today by
Shannon & Luchs, local real estate bro
kers The firm sold several houses, stores
and lots, and through its renting service
q transaction was contaminated by which
the Old Dutch Market Company will add
another to its chain of stores in the city.
The market company took a lease for
a term of years on two stores on 18th
street just south of U street, and work
already has been started on the recon-
struction of the two into one large store
room, with a frontage of thirty feet and
a depth of seventy-five feet Plans for
an ornamental front for the building have
been prepared by N. r. Grimm, architect.
s. D. Bronson is the owner Of the prop
erty.
Two stores at the corner of LIST and
Seaton streets were sold for NJ. E. Kay
hoe to an investor whose name was
withheld.
Another transaction in business prop
erty involved the sale to Edward M. Du-
| lin of a fifty-foot frontage on 14th street
between Irving and Kenyon streets, and
| it is his intention to improve the lots
| by the construction of two stores. The
| price stated to have been paid for the
property was $500.
Among the dwellings sold by Shannon
& I4uchs were the following:
For Harry Wardman to Edward Naugh-
| ton, the new six-room dwelling at 1855
Perry place northwest. The considera-
ton was 5000.
| For Humphrey & Banes, builders. the
new eight-room house at 1876 Randolph
| street northwest. The purchaser, George
G.. Donaldson. paid $4,315 for the prop
4 erty.
| To John H. Sunday, the six-room dwell
| ing at $50 Sd street northeast; price.
So, TOO
| To Stephen II. Takes, the six-room
house at 92S 10th street northeast The

| While plans for the building operations
of the coming season have not yet been
| fully matured, enough work already is In
prospect to indicate that the ensuing
year will be fully equal in volume to the
building activities of last year. The
| month of January showed a falling off
in the figures in the office of the building
| inspector, but in February there was
| recovery.
An equally good showing is expected
| to be made during the present month. 1t
has been presumed that the building
operations of the season would be some
| what restricted, and while it is not an
| ticipated there will be a boom. or, in
deed, any great increase in the amount of
| investments in building work, as COM
| pared with last year, still there are
| indications of a healthy growth in all
| sections Of the capital. Arguments have
| been advanced that the city was some
what overbuilt, and for this reason 1t
| was believed the outlook for the present
| season was not encouraging.
On this account 1t is a matter of inter-
est and importance at this early period
to note the signs which point to quite a
| different situation. 1t Is also of interest
to know that the building inspector. Mr..
Hacker. judges, from the record of build
| ing now going on and in contemplation,
| that while the aggregate value of build
| ings to be erected may not reach the
! large totals of previous years. or even
of last year. this will be due mainly to
the fact that the list of permits will in
all probability not include many large
and costly structures for hotel and office
purposes.
There seems to be an idea that the
| many new Office buildings which have
been erected in comparatively recent
months will supply the needs of the bust
ness community for some time to come,
so that falling Off in this particular
phase Of building activity is looked upon
as natural under the circumstances. Con-
sequently, the local. building industry is
expected to devote it's energies to the
construction of houses and apartments.
While there are observers who hold the
opinion that the market would be bene-
fitted If it had an opportunity to absorb
the available supply Of buildings of both
kinds, yet that is apparently not the
judgment of a number of investors who
spend their money in these directions.
1t Is specially noted there is now
revival, in a way, of apartment house
building. Few large structures probably
will be built, and it seems that no small
apartments are in contemplation. but
builders are said to be particularly in

Mrs Isabella Frawley, the purchaser,
paid 1920 for the property.
To Herman Jorg, the new six-room
house No. 40 INLAND terrace, at the
corner of Summit place, at a price of
$3.50. The house is one of the Ward
man operation on Highview.
For Middaugh & Shannon to William
G. Neale, the new two-story, six-room
dwelling No. 927 X street northeast. The
house Is at the corner of 10th and X
streets, and it brought a price of 500.
To Arthur Nauck, the old two-story
frame dwelling at 1884 9th street north
west Mr.. Nauck paid $500 for the
property. and it is his intention to de-
molish the house and utilize the site for
the construction of a business building.

MANY BUILDERS WORKING
ON NEW APARTMENTS
Several Large Structures in Course
of Construction in North
west Section.

The foundations are being prepared for
five-story apartment building to be
erected at the northeast corner of Wyom-
ing avenue and Columbia road by Louis
Ii. Emmert. Adjoining this proposed
structure is another building which is
being erected by Howard NJ. Etchison,
and which is now nearing completion.
Mr.. Etchison is also starting the cree
ton of ali apartment house on the north
side of California avenue just west of
Florence Court. It will have a frontage
of ninety feet.
A beginning has also been made in the
erection of the apartment house which
Harry Wardman intends to build at the
northwest corner of 14th street and Co
lumbia road. The new structure will be
four stories in height, and the first floor
on the 14th street side will be arranged
for use as stores. Another apartment
house is being built on the east side of
18th street just south of P street north
west.

and Apartments.

terested in the construction of apartments
of medium size-structures of perhaps
five stories in height.
Plans of the builders for 1912 also con-
template the construction of many new
dwellings. Owners of lots in the suburbs
and semi-suburbs of the city have entered
the market with plans perfected for build
ing homes Operators in different sub
divisions usually are prepared to finance
such undertakings by making the neces-
sary loans, and in these days it is found
that lot buyer almost invariably be-
comes the builder of a home.
There is also a demand for houses in
the new sections of the city, and Wash
ington city property appeals so strongly
to investors that it has been found that
even those who come to spend only
a few years in the capital find it to their
advantage to buy a house and then sell
it when they get ready to move away.

French Savings.
l,e Louisville Courier-Joufnal.

From the Louisville Courier journal.
Statistics show that France exports
champagne to America and makes money.
while importing $4,000, 600. gallons of
wine to drink. This throws a little light
upon the question of why there are so
many full savings banks in France as
well too many full Americans in
America.
