Vacant Lot Sales
Above Normal, Says
Local Realty Man

From indications seen in this of,
flee" stated r. @. Heard, OF the real
estate firm Of Joyner & Co. Thurs
day, "the sale of vacant building lots
has taken tremendous jump in the
past 80 days. Prior to that time we
had not sold any lots to amount to
anything for several months In the
last month we have sold total OF wa
600 worth OF vacant lots. This is big
average even for normal times
When asked to what he contributed
the Increase, he said that the prices
for vacant lots have stayed remarkably
even for many months. and that this
was due to the high cost of building
materials, which held the lot market
down He states that lots will remain
comparatively low in value until mate
rails come down, when lot prices will
soar again. He thinks that the buying
public realizes this, and is doing Its
He states that while more lots are
being sold now than formerly, the
bungalow market has not shown the
slightest indications of a slump that

increased.
In support Of his opinion he offers
the following figures ~n recent sales: A
lot at Bellevue and Harbert from S,

Hay Receipts Upon
Local Market Are
:. More Than Double

Hay receipts on the Memphis hay
market increased 2l0 per cent during
the first ~ months following the estab-
lishment of the mug system OF inspec
ton, as compared with the preceding =
months, according to data just compiled
by Walter ]. Fransioli. secretary Of
the Memphis Merchants exchange.
Predictions of advocates of the plug
inspection system, whereby enough hay
Is removed from the cars to enable the
inspector to examine the cars from
end to end, that the establishment Of
an inspection system that would guar
antee to shippers and buyers fair and
reliable grades, would do more to build
UP the local hay market than any other
device that had ever been tried. were
more than fulfilled by the results of
the first year,
the Frisco railroad May /, 1919. and
on the Rock Island. Missouri Pacific, N,
c.. ,& ST. L. and L. & n. railroads
shortly afterward. Form May l. 1919.
to May /, 1920, there were 1874 cars
of hay received with a total tonnage of
S9.g25 tons. The receipts from May l.,
1918, to May l, 1919 were 3,414 cars,
aggregating 42.675 tons.
The system has not yet been estab-
lished on. the tracks of the Illinois
cehtral. the Y. & M. ", the Southern
tracks available for Dr. purpose being
inconvenient for inspections. In estab-
fishing the system, inspection tracks
must be set aside by the railroads, with
available space for piling the hay that
must be taken out of the car.
It is impossible to get reliable clas-
sifications on hay from door inspec-
tons, dealers claim. and both the ship
per and buyer is liable to lose under
the old system of inspection. But when
shippers learned that reliable inspec-
tons could be obtained on the Memphis
market hay that was formerly sent to
other markets was diverted immediate
" to Memphis, and the interests of
all concerned were so carefully guard
ed by the rules of the local exchange
that the business grew by leaps and
bounds.
Memphis is now one OF the leading
distributing hay markets of the South
and is making still greater Roadway as
the brokers through the South and
Southeast and the shippers from the
West and Southwest become better ac-
quainted with the modern system OF
handling hay on this market
