Sale of the M. E. Doll Real
Estate.

Real estate in Frederick county has
scared more than fifty per cent. in the
last seven years. This was illustrated at
the sale of the property of the late Mr.
Melville f. Doll, by the executors, Jacob
Rohrback and Samuel V. Doll, on Sat
urday, July 18th. The property on the
corne of Market and West Second
street, was sold to Mr.. Newton NJ.
Zentz, at public auction, for $I6, 100. The
Office building on North Market street,
was sold to Rosenour Brothers, for
1850.
Seven years ago the late Mr. Doll pur-
chased the property on the corner of
Market and Church streets. at price of
about ten thousand dollars. By the
price brought Saturday. there was a gain
of about 81 per cent. in the real estate.
The Norlh Market street property was
erected by Mr.. Doll. 1t was in 1857 that
he purchased and demolished a two
story building and erected the present
building. The property originally cost
Mr.. Doll $2,4Io.
Mr.. ZenIz said on Saturday that he had
no definite plans for the future. He said
that there would of course be improve
ments made to the corner property. He
will very likely consider erecting flats
and apartments, and will also probably
make his home at this property.
Mr.. Abe Rosenour said on Saturday
that he had no plans formed for the fu-
ture of the building which they had ac-
quired. This totals five valuable bust
ness properties on Market and Patrick
streets owned by the Rosenour Broth
ers.

Farmers Lose Money in Wheat.

The production OF wheat in Frederick
county is being seriously threatened by
the high cost of living and the farmers,
claiming that it does not pay them to
raise wheat, are now showing a ten
dency to put out less land in wheat than
in former years. Some farmers this year
will not market their wheat. but will feed
the raw product to the stock on the
farm. They contend that the raw pro-
duct raised on the farm is actually
cheaper per hundred pounds, than bran,
which is one of the many by products
of the original grain.
One OF the leading farmers of Fred
erick county in discussing this matter
recently declared that bran, which is a
by-product of wheat. in the manufacture
of -four was being sold to the farmers
for 81 cents per sixty pounds, or busheI,
and he further said that the farmers were
receiving only 70 cents for wheat He
also referred to the fact that several
years ago bran could be purchased for
fortv-two cents per sixty pounds, and
that was considered a high price He
also declared that wheat then brought a
much higher price per bushel at that
time.
