Medical Ccnters Arc Growing.

THE leasing market for February.
1929 is far enough along TO show
Il it's trend and to enable the owner
and broker Of commercial space TO draw
several firm conclusions. With space
above Twenty-fourth street especially
in and around the garment center, there
is every indication for believing that the
peak Of rentals will be steadily main-
tanned The reason for that conclusion
lies In the fact that the value of the
district has been enhanced steadily
through tho character OF firms which
have moved westward 10 that section.
The district is decidedly more desirable
than II was year ago before the gar
ment center project had gained its pres
ont momentum.
Thore is no reason 10 look for a break
In the price OF large units of 10000
square feet and upward above Twenty
fourth street as comparatively little
pace or that size IS being offered and
the demand for such space Is sufficient
to absorb what Of II Is available at
good prices.
Any lcVeling Of prices. II al all. will
affect the smaller units. During the

Advantages of Long Island City.
The outstanding advantages which
Long Island City offers to manufac-
turers seeking locations for their fac
tories may be summed up as its new
rapid transit facilities, which make IL
an integral part OF New York city; it,
bridges to Manhattan and Brooklyn: its
proximity TO the business heart of Man
haitian: its excellent shipping facilities
by rail and water and the low cost at
which property can be purchased COM
pared with the prices charged In other
boroughs for property less favorably
situated in respect to transit and near
ness to midtown Manhattan" is the
statement in the special issue or
Queeusboro1lgh the monthly magazine
Of the Queensborough Chamber Of Com
merce.
To interests seeking sites for indus
trial plants with enough rooom around
them for homes for workers Staten
Island makes direct appeal Land for
such purposes can be had for low
prices. Furthermore the city has built
thirteen piers between the American
Dock Company's piers between Tomp-
kinsville and Stapieton. The piers are
rented on a ~ per cent. basis and no
piers arc built until they have been
leased. They are 100 feet long and
can accommodate tho largest ocean
liners afloat.
But what Richmond needs most IL
better transportation and all interests
agree that the problem can be solved
only by constructing a tunnel or tun-
nels. For many years she has waited
patiently and to-day her hope seems
nearer TO realization.
Newark is making rapid industria
strides forward. Her latest acquisition
Is the American Book Company, which
has purchased land in Bloomfield for

Downtown Broker Sees
Prosperous Year Ahead
ny CHARLES +. MOVES.

as there was not enough to go around
and for that reason rentals higher than
normal were obtained. No one regrets
that these unusual and unhealthy con-
ditions have passed.
To-day VIC find real estate as regards
business properties firmly held lightly
mortgagcd and In an exceptionally
strong position. There is very little
vacant Office, store. loft or commercial
space to be had either for sale or rem
tai south of Fourteenth street. Oncc
rates In all buildings are holding and
while not 100 to 400 per cent. greater
than pre-war times. are at least so per
cent. greater and will remain there. 1t
Is my opinion that those requiring Office
space downtown In 1928 should get their
promises now because there is not much
space available and the Inquiries are
unusually numerous for this season of
the year. Store locations are scarce
and lofts not easy TO obtain. Large
buildings are more plentiful than for
several years but the floating nupply
will be absorbed before April next as
there Is a strong demand by mary big
houses which have let their stocks run
down and which are now restocking and
from other concerns which are leaving
warehouses and taking buildings Of their
own for storage and merchandising.
Property values are firm. High cost
OF construction still exists and Il does
not look as II II was going down in the
immediate future. The cost of labor Is
still high although labor Is giving more
In return for employment than for many
years. Building commodities seem TO
be 'pegged" at the top and any way

Analogous to the Tides.

The renting market is closely allied
to the business and financial conditions
OF the country. Business Is like the
tide. Sometimes the tide flows stronger
than at other times and some OF the
nooks and crannies OF the shore and
rocks are inundated. Again when the
flow Is weaker the water doesn't reach
those portions OF the shore. There Ia
an analogy between the tides and the
business Of renting srace In New York's
commercial structures.
Incidentally the officials OF VIM. A.
white & Sons say they have experienced
a better selling market during the last
five or six weeks than they did during
all the previous portion OF tho year
Many deals are under negotiation. They.

expression, pretty nearly sold out.

New York city is a much greater man

of Chicago by half. and Industrial ac-
tivity is growing steadily here. That
growth has been reflected in a revival

or course the nature OF the business
of the new inqulrers for space Is varied
The demand for space is miscellaneous.
Some large corporations are in the mar
ket this month and are being advised to
make ten year leases at present rates
by such officials as those OF VIM. a.
White & Sons. They give this advice
because they believe that In a short
time leases made at present figures will
become an asset. Representatives OF
the corporations are being told that u
will be to their advantage TO close their
rental contracts for May occupancy now
rather than TO wait until next May.
Downtown owners and agents feel that
they arc far from being out Of luck.
They admit that the new development

From these figures Il IS seen that
we have far more live weevils per
ton Of moss in sight now than at
any time since these records were
started and only very few dead
weevils.
The only sane course 70 pursue
is 10 anticipate year Of great
abundance Of boil weevils and TO
make all plans accordingly. Every
one who has raised a few cotton
crops with the weevil realized how
the weevil cuts down the acreage
he can handle per pillow and still
make crop. Furthermore. the
more abundant the weevils are, the
less acreage he can handle success
