PRICES CUT FOURTH
AT WOOLLEN SALE
Likely to Form Bases for Flu
ture Transactions, 1t Is
Believed.

A certain amount of stability is ex-
pected to be impaired to the woollen
fabric market by the auction yesterday
Of q large amount OF woollen goods from
the stocks Of the American Wooden Com
pany. 1t Is also believed that the prices
paid will forrr moro or less OF basis
for future transactions throughout the
Industry.
Roughly estimated, the sales were re-
corded at prices about 25 per cent. less
than the recent market values. Traders,
however, believe that this is In nowise
indicative of break in the market, but,
on the contrary. say that the values at
which the goods sold demonstrate a
great power OF absorption in the trade.
Crowds packed the auction rooms OF
Burling & Dele. where the sales were
held. Retail clothing buyers and Job
bers OF mems and women's wear fabrics
were much in evidence. Representatives
OF woollen houses were the principal
purchasers, the retail clothiers taking
comparatively small part In the proceed
ings. their interest being limited princi-
pally TO overcoatings and serges.

DASH ESTATE LOTS
BRING LOW PRICES
IS Lots Sell for $54,9z5,
Which Is an Average Of $646.

Tho manner In which the Dash estate
lots were accepted yesterday by the pub
lie when offered at auction indicates that
vacant property Of that character is not
In demand now. In spite OF features
which should have attracted many buy
ers the disposal of the eighty-flve lots
was slow process. 1t dragged through
four hours with little semblance of eager
ness on tho part OF bidders. The i'm
preston was that lot buying viii not be
good until next spring. At least that
was the opinion OF ono of the largest
spectators in improved property In the
metropolitan district
In several respects the sale was diff
ferent TO others. as the owners were will
ing to give back building loans on sew
eral plots up to so per cent of the
amount paid and would provide building
plans for dwellings to be erected on tho
property. But those who came to the
sale wero there 70 get the lots at their
expected values.
Tho two story frame dwelling on the
west eide of Waldo avenue, north OF
23Sth street. and the plot OF eight lots
II stands on were sold for $3.50. j.
Clarence Davies, who conducted the sale,
said that he had refused $4,000 for the
property at private sale on Monday, sure
It would bring moro at the auction sale.
The lots across from this house, those on
the east side of Waldo avenue extend
ing south from Dash place. brought
s1,025 each, which was the highest price
paid for inside property at the, sale.
This was explained by the fact that
building loan and plans for the improve
ment of the property went with the lots.
Tho frame barns on Waldo avenue, on
a plot about a. feet wide and 104 feet
deep, connected with Waldo avenue by n
lot 25x1OO, brought $3.50, which Mr..
Davies said was no price for the prop
erty, as the barns could be made over
into an attractive home at little ex-
pense. The bidding for this property
started at $500. and by single bids of a
few dollars each the price was lifted
above the $1,000 mark and beyond.
Spectators were the chief buyers. In
vestors were not numerous. The total
received for tho lots was S5t.975. which
Is an average of ss4s. The highest
price paid for lot was A.S75, the
knockdown figure for the northeast cor
ner OF Waldo avenue and 2SSth street.
The lowest price was $3.50.
Bryan L. Kennedy was the auctioneer.
