New York Realty

All the estate deals in New York; 1t appears not of record, but of them find their into the the police where many estate transactions in other parts of the country should find a place. Nor all the dealers realtors.
 Gregory Pantazi, a New York restaurant keeper had amassed $2oO0 and desirous of increasing that sum had learned that many the great fortunes of New York especially those the Astors had solid real estate foundation. He met a young who submitted to him a proposition that seemed worth consideration This young man was prepared to sell him the Grand Terminal He did not mitted, the edfce but he the inti- mate with the who did and his accredited agent the matter of disposing of He took Pantazi to the owner. a large dark man, he afterward described the police. The owner wanted to sell the structure something than s2.OoO offered sell part of it for that enough give him a controlling est in it. Papers were drawn up and signed by both parties.
 It is needless to say that the owner had been informed of the size of Pantazis bank roll in ad- vance But Pantazi had not brought that much money with hn-only s1200. He had either figured that that might sufficient he would need the of the capital making repairs alterations in the structure
 But the owner was firm. He was willing to sell considerable slice of the property for s2Ooo but he would into any transaction for lesser amount. MT Pantaz left s120o with him and hurried after other $500 nor his accred- tied agent were there when returned. The police to whom he finally appealed. told him that he the only purchaser of New York real estate. It had come within their knowledge that Grants Tomb, the Aquarium. the Brooklyn Bridge the City Hall and other desirable and artistic bits property been sold over and again for below the original cost.

Most persons who in the grade schools forty or fifty years ago have had sad occasion to note the additions to their vocabulary which the passage of two years have made necessary.

World Financial Situation Shows
 Slight Changes
rRepublIcan A. p. Leased WIrel

wASHINGTON,Ap April 10 - Finan- ciaIly and economically the world sit nation improved but little in March with few signs of better conditions, according to cabled summaries re- ceived today by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce from its trade commissioners and commercial attaches.
 In Europe tight money, unemploy- ment and unsatisfactory industrial and shipping conditions were in evil dence while some declines in prices and slight revival of building activi- ties were noted. In the east the sit ua tion was described as somewhat easier while in South America con- ditions were reported as virtually unchanged.
 Commercial Attache Dennis re- ported business depression in Great Britain had increased owing to the prospective failure of an early settle ment with Germany on separations. The Russian trade agreement is not expected appreciably to benefit busi- ness, he added, and traders are hold ing off to secure assurance as to the legality of payment. American imports into France con- tinue to show marked reductions, Commercial Attache Huntington at | Paris reported. Unsettled European conditions, the unsatisfactory result | of the reparations conference and re- i fusal of Germany to pay installments due on separations contributed to a dull financial market. The situation | also was described as influenced by | the Upper Silesian plebiscite, the Brit ! ish coal strike and the situation in i Hungary Commercial Attache Gross of Brussels declared high exchange rates and unsatisfactory business | conditions continued to impede re- vival of the sales of American goods in Belgium.
 Government expenditures are ex- ceeding revenues in Germany, H. w. Adams cabled from Berlin. He added that higher taxation seems probable, and reported prices of manufactured goods as about the same as last year. while stocks are greater.
 An increased flow of German cap
 ital into Austria is apparent to MT Upson in Vienna
 Anxiety is felt in the Scandinavian
 countries as to the future develop
 ments in Russia and Germany, Trade
 Commissioner Anderson of Copen-
 hagen stated.
 Foreign investment capital, direct
 ed largely to railroad improvement
 is coming into China, Commercial
 Attache Arnold at Peking reported
 An increased flow of British, Japan ese and Belgian capital is noted, he
 said.
 The money situation is easier in Japan, Commercial Attache Abbott
 of Tokio declared, adding some pro- gress was being made toward de
 flation. Stocks of merchandise are
 becoming smaller, with the probable
 result that the arrival of trade will

 For that matter, I could have afforded to buy the water, though probably should have done so
 This man. kind of heart and generous to his friends, when a table spread before the wilderness, gave to day night, throughout the days of my camping in the Holy Land, cup of cold water.
