WASHINGTON GAINS IN
BUILDING OPERATIONS
Construction Work Shows Increase of
II Per Cent Over That of
Last Year.

According to figures published by the
American Contractor. Washington was
one of the fifty-three cities of the coun-
try to show a gain in building operations
In July, 1916, as compared with July Of
last year. Washington, with total opera
tions amounting to s1,Sl4.753 for July, 1876
as against s1.424. .2T for the corresponding
month Of last year shows a healthy gain
of q Per cent.
Fifty-six. cities throughout the country
showed loss, but the reports from los
leading cities showed q total in building
investments for July of s112, So, ,752, as
against s67,oS2,722 for July of 1915. an in
crease OF SS per cent This tremendous
gain Is due to the new building regula-
tions adopted by the board of estimates
in New York City, which has limited the
height of buildings. Prospective builders
of skyscrapers rushed plans and had
them filed before the new law goes into
effect Many of these buildings may
never be constructed, and eliminating the
huge increase caused by this sudden fling
Of plans, the country shows a modest
ain of 2 per cent
Real estate deals in Washington during
the past week dropped off, compared
with the preceding week, both In number
Of sales and volume OF business. A total
of l21 deals involving 2O3 lots and parcels
of real estate was effected. The business
for the corresponding week IN 1915 was
Identical with these figures. Business was
evenly distributed throughout the week
The purchase Of the Department of
Justice building 1875 and 1437 K street
northwest for $4,000 and the sale Of a
tract Of vacant ground for 10000 during
the week registered the highest figures in
real estate deals thus far during 1916.
The Department Of Justice Building was
purchased by Mrs. Henrietta N. Halliday
who is the largest investor for the week
The sale was conducted by the American n
Security and Trust Company, trustee.
The Capital Traction Company's sale Of
a tract Of vacant Land opposite its car
barns on Fourteenth and Decatur streets
northwest to Charles E. Wire, Incorpo-
rated, for $4,000 was the second largest
deal of the week. The land will be i'm

ture at the corner Of Sixteenth and East

NET DEMAND DEPOSITS
INCREASE DURING WEEK
Loans Show Gain of 81 10000, and
Surplus Declines to Extent
of s2,202,86O.

CBy the International News servtce.D }
New York, Aug. 26.-The weekly bank
statement today confirmed reports of pub
lie participation in the stock market that
grew as the week progressed. The actual
statement of condition at the close OF
business Friday night showed an increase
Of s4S5S2, 900 in net demand deposits
which Is another way Of saying that
brokers' loans have increased about that
much The loans showed an increase OF
S11. .ISO 900 and the surplus is decreased
s, 2oa $50. That the borrowing was heavi-
est at the end OF the week is proved by
the average figures which show an IN
crease Of S33O4O,OOO in net demand de-
posits, a decrease Of s6ooS, 900 In loans, an
Increase Of s14, 426, $50 in reserves.
Thus 1t appears that the public really
has begun to pay attention to Wal
Street. The bankers who have charge OF
the market are we'll aware OF this and
the pools are all on guard at important
points
Possibility Of a railroad strike furnished
a good excuse for the reaction, and while
nobody in Wall Street believed in 1t, the
idea was spread to account for reaction
that, in the absence OF strike talk, would
have been based on the disaster in the
wheat and cotton fields. But much to
Wall Streets astonishment the strike that
was ridiculed is beginning to look real
istic. AS Wall Street always believes
in thing just as all danger of 1t Is past,
this frame Of mind is almost enough
to Justify the positive statement that
all danger Of the strike Is past.
Cotton made new high records and held
them to the close Of the market. Compe-
tent cotton experts are talking 20 cents a
pound, as a probable price of options If
there should be a strike. Without a
strike they do not expect that price to be
reached for two or three months.
Wheat also made new high record
but was reactionary.
Figures published by the international
Mercantile Marine confirmed the report
OF material reduction in net. The net
actually earned, however, taken in con-
nection with the contracts on the books
Of the company. give reasonable assur-
snce that for the year 1916 net earnings

when the market turned. and seIers OF Friday and
