On Monday the construction of eight
model villas ranging in cost from $4,000
to $1,000 each will be commenced in
bradley Hills. the new suburban subdi-
vision just west Of the Chevy Chase Club
grounds, by Wendell & Treat, Of Phila-
delphia.
This is probably the largest and most
elaborate building operation ever under
taken in the history Of the suburban de-
velopment of Washington The resi-
dences Will be OF rock-faced stone, Co
IoniaI in style. and similar to the type
Of the new Chevy Chase clubhouse.
which is considered one OF the best ex-
amples Of this class OF architecture In
this vicinity.
The Philadelphia firm is one Of the
best known among the landscape archi-
tects of the country. having designed the
Philadelphia suburban residential sec
lions OF Wayne, Overlook, and other
of the good suburbs OF Greater New
York. They have also completed the
preliminary plans for the grand boule-
ward from Bradley Lane at Chevy Chase
70 Great Falls. which Is to be similar
in design to q new boulevard now being
constructed out Of Paris.
Herman NJ. Wendell, OF the firm, said
to-day that II Is the intention to make
the section one OF the show places OF
Washington. and that upon completion
OF the eight residences which will be
commenced Monday, others will be built.
Work is to be pushed upon the construc-
ton OF the boulevard at the same time.
The operation is the largest TO fol-
low the departure in residence building
made recently by Joseph Letter. who
purchased a large tract on the Virginia
side Of the river, and erected a cOun-
try house OF large proportions, which
has just been completed.
Pine Crest is one of the suburban sub
divisions of Washington that has made

market on October IS 1911 In the seven
months following, which was about the
worst of the year, there has been See.-
900 worth of lots sold. A numbsE Of
buildings are now being erected all
through the subdivision. At the liberal
terms Of payment which the promoters
of this new town are offering these lots
IL will only be a question Of a short time
until they are all sold. II is an ideal
spot to live, abundance of shade and
good water and near the car line While
many in the city are sweltering with the

New York, May ls.-The MARKET yielded TO Hqui-

far the best posted during the current month, and
while several Of low barometer prevailed east
Of the Rocky Mountains, there Is little prumiss q

and traders were inclined 70 desert the bull posi-

This class Of operations has been recently held in

The market therefore Is likely to mOrs closely

In the cotton goods division Of the dry goods
trade there Is no present eEidencs Of a sluggish
demand though through divisions less activity
prevails This Is partly due to q backward season

that the larger commitments made earlier in the
season at low prices have been FULFILLED In a
