of affairs in Europe put completely
different face on realty conditions.
Nevertheless. there has been much TO
be thankful for The renting both for

The outlook for the fall and winter
is that the real estate broker will have

the necessities of his customers.
The fact that there is no money to be

j. ". MOOYER says:

DOUGLAS L. ELLIMAN says:
The shock of the European war has
found real estate in strong basic con
dition. For some time previous the
large financial interests had discour-
aged any increase Of new operations,
so that there was little more than
normal supply of space in the market
for rent in the business and residence
districts. Given a normal demand, this
year would close with but few districts
oversupplied. Speculation also was at
standstill, so that thee is little dis
tress evidenced anywhere in carrying
property which might have been over
burdened or forced TO sacrifice to
protect other holdings.
Business goes quietly on-too quiet

income will beg, borrow and not have

I'll a good price can be realized. The
faith of the holders and the lenders,
both large and small, IS so great that
they usually manage to weather the
worst financial storms, one of which is
now undoubtedly passing.
We find money can be had more read
ily on q piece OF real estate to-day than
"a new loan on railroad or industrial Sc
curitIes.
In the East Side apartment district
the war has caused the abandonment
of several new operations for next
year. because of the inability of the
builder 20 obtain the proper financing
This will have a most stimulating and
beneficial effect in filling successfully
the fewer buildings under way and
those already finished. The renting
this season has bec9 so satisfactory
that the builders and operators threat
ened to become TOO enthusiastic. and
they planned greater number Of
buildings for next year than was wise.
This curtailment, therefore, will be Of
much benefit, and further establish the
security of this form Of investment,
which has proved so popular with large
estates and people Of wealth.

believe that modernly constructed
properties will continue to fiji up very
RAPIDLY with responsible tenants, mas
much as the construction Of new build
ings has been considerably curtailed
in the last year, which enables full
tenancy to catch up with new construc-
tion.
Indications also prominently point 20

| believe that real estate values have
reached a solid foundation; that there
will be 10 more shrinkage in values,
and that vi .h the settlement Of the
European wa. md with our manufact-
ur.ng and com nercial lines resuming
their full activities, we shall have

but a good, healthy improvement in

cal condition of the real estate market
is right for an upward movement in
values as soon as general business is
resumed and our financial institutions

HARRY STEWART HALL says:
For several years New York realty
interests have az the beginning Of
every autumn hoped for better condi-
tions and active prosperity. During
the spring Of 1914 very general shut
ting down Of available money for build
ing purposes indicated slack period

for some months past. Certain lines Of
commercial renting. however. have
been good, and up to the outbreak Of
the European war many excellent
leases were under way, negotiations for
which have since become dormant. As
a matter Of fact, there is to-day in
some neichborhoods an undersupply Of
certain types Of buildings, and build
ing inactivity has at last allowed the
demand 70 outstrip the supply.
At the moment mortgage money $
extremely hard to obtain, but with the
war finished il is my opinion that we
would have period of greater activ-
ity than for a long time. I'm q meas
ure this is indicated by such transGc-
lions as the Auuld-COlstable lease and
the purchase Of the Lewis corner at
Fifth az. and 18th ST.. the latter with
q large loan attached thereto, remark

these. Unquestionably We are in a
period where the survival Of the httest
will count, and while | can see nothing
