Is responsible for the seemingly low

One important idea that has come to
all real estate men as a result of last
weeks business is that the growing
marine interests of the city must be
given unusual consideration in all
matters relating to the future de-
vefopment of lower New York Under
pre-war conditions American shipping
firms found space for their activities
without trouble, but now that the
American flag is to be restored to the
seven seas better arrangements must
be made for the business of handling
the ships that carry it and the cargoes
that go in the ships
The Cunard Line was the first shin
ping concern to realize the require
ments of the new conditions, and they
acted quickly to have a building for
their use erected on lower Broadway.
Now the well known American firm
of Norton, Lilly & Co., composed Of
S. S. Norton, Joseph 7. Lilly, John B.

Produce Exchange Offices do not fit
their new conditions as world traders
and have taken big building where
they can expand at will. Confronted
by the same restrictions as to avail
able space, other big concerns may be
expected to follow these leaders. 1t

financial and shipping growth of the
city provides and it may be expected
to keep the real estate pot boiling for
