GOSSIP ABOUT
REAL ESTATE
Sites for Homes Being Sold
at Reasonable Figures.

That many people of middle class
are making Perth Amboy their home
IS established by the fact that the
real estate men of this city cannot
secure sufficient houses for rental
purposes. On the other hand many
or the men engaged in the same oc-
cupatlon are complaining of the
number of houses on hand to be sold.
The market in the latter class for
the past week has been very slow.
The foreign element are availine
themselves of the opportunity of Sc
curing sites for homes at reasonable
prices.
During the past week nearly all of
Inc real estate men say that the
labor and political conditions have
caused a sudden decrease in their
line OF business but further aver
that in a week or two the best season
of the year will be at hand. Burke
& Bolger have disposed Of two lots
at 500 and 398 Mechanic street to
Goldfarb Brothers, who will erect
handsome residences. The consider
alton involved was $4,000. The
same firm is negotiationg for several
other large deals both in this city
ana vicinity.
Lehigh Park is still in favor. Mas
sopust and Dushock during the past
week have disposed of a large num-
Der of building lots, as have Fraser
Brothers, Adolph Greenbaum and
John Hanson for their respective
sites. The fall. according to the
opinion of real estate men, will see
a large number of apartment houses
erected in this city as out-of-town
men interested in this line of money
making have secured options on sew
eral valuable parcels of land In the
southern section of this city.
Perth Amboy may soon boast of
several more factories if the plans of
several of the local real estate mel
carry out. A New York sugar con-
Germ has secured option on a large
tract near this city.

OPERATIONS IN
BUILDING LINE

Fast = dring Completion.

Building work that was started in
the spring is well under way and
many new structures are being pro-
posed for erection before next win
ter. Contractors and builders are
busy on buildings in the course of
construction, while architects report
much new work in sight. Store and
dwelling houses constitute the type
of building most in evidence among
the new ones. Some residential
houses, but few factory buildings are
in sight.
A foundation has been completed
Tor the commercial building for Miss
Agnes Kant at the northeast corner
of State and Smith streets. First
hoor beams may be laid and the
brick work started next week. The
work Is being pushed at a rapid rate.
TWO store and dwelling structures
being erected in Smith street near
Davidson avenue, for David Klein
and M. ~Gavronsky, are being rushed
to completion. The root has been
placed on Klein's building and the
roof Is being placed on Gavronsky's
structure. These buildings were de-
signed by G~oldberger G Greisen.
Foundation work will probably be
started Monday for the new three
story brick store and dwelling house

discussions and involved digressions.
Mr.. Sturgs at times insisted on
lengthy digressions in answering
questions and once fatty declined 10
answer His counsel. John G. Mil
burn. interfered to preserve the calm
dignity of the occasion.
The testimony of Mr.. Sturgis
brought out the following points:
THE membership of the Stock Ex
change has not been increased since
1869, when it was fixed at 100. Since
then the business done and the Sc
curities listed on the Exchange have
increased about so times over Mr..
Sturgis declared that an increase in
membership was unnecessary, for the
present membership was well able to
handle the business of the public.
In q dozen recent failures, MIR.
Sturgis admitted, Stock Exchange
houses had carried with them stock
owned in part by their customers, but
hypothecated by the brokers for more
than the real ownership of the brok
er. In such cases the proceeds of the
sale of the bankrupt brokers' seat on
the Exchange goes, it was explained,
not to his customers, but to his cred
itors inside the Exchange. Mr. Stur-
gis thought this was fair and just az
it was regulation subscriber to by
the members in the Exchange and
recognized by the public.
Stock Exchange brokers usually use
the stock owned in part by their Gus
toners as collateral to support their
own loans, Mr. Sturgis said, re-hy-
pothecating the securities for a great
err amount than is represented in the
debt of the customer on the stock. He
added that the governors of the En-
change would welcome any suggestion
that would put a stop to the practice.
He disagreed with a scheme proposed
by Mr.. Untermyer that would force
brokers to mark an Loan envelopes
containing their collateral, the amount
for " hich they We're already held as
security by the broker. in order fol
which they We're already held as Sc
curity by the broker. in order that
the bank might make its loan to the
broker on that basis. This scheme, Mr.
Sturgis contended would entail an al
most prohibitive amount of bookkeep
| ing.
Mr.. Sturgis through a grilling detail

Exchange could not prevent manlpu-
