pronounced as the transit situation in re-

NEW BANK AIDS REALTY.
1t is believed by brokers that the open
ing of the reserve bank will have a dis
tinct benefit upon real estate needs. and
that the trust companies will be more
liberal in percentages loaned on first
class property.
Building societies are making record
for themselves in putting out money upon
mortgages, and would do more II the att-
tude Of the banks change. Any owner who
wishes to buy property and occupy 1t
as home will have no trouble I'm getting
building society to make a reasonable
loan.
Money rates on mortgages are un-
changed. Borrowers seem perfectly will
Ing to pay 4-10 per cent. and In some
cases per cent for small loans.
LESSOR.
