side. The first directory in which he
is shown living on Twelfth street is
that of 1872.
He bought that property in 1867.
The deed. dated May %, 1857, is from
Charles Kloman and his wife. Louise,

mans place, 500 Seventh street, and
In 1866 or 1857 he opened his res
taurant at sol Seventh. His home
was in an upper story of the restau-
rant and the Rambler does not know
that he lived in the house which he
sold to Metzerott. In the directory
of 1878 I gather that Charles Kloman
had retired from business. He was
living at 91S NJ street and William
Fl. Kloman lived at the same address.

But other factors are less reassur-

There is a visible supply of 10000
900 bushels of wheat in the elevators
at the head OF the Great Lakes and
10 100000 bushels in transit to Liv-

stan is said to be in serious danger
of destruction from rust, but as
against that the wheat crop in Persia
looks great. Speculative buying on
the European exchanges may force
the price up. but on the other hand
speculative selling may force it down.

General business conditions. in our

MR.. METZEROTT was living at
PSI L street north from 1860 to
1868, and in 1854 and 1866 at 2s5 Z
street. Those numbers were on the
south side of L between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth streets, across the way from
the stage entrance to Albaugh's Grand
Opera House, now Polls Theater. It
was satisfactory residence section. In
1866 Mr.. Metzerott moved to a three
story brick house No. 307 F street,
which number became ITO F street He
bought the property in 1863. and it was
the first Of the numerous Metzerott pur-
chases in square 321, bounded by E. F,
Eleventh and Twelfth streets.
At the recorders office the Rambler
found the deed, May IL, 1853, recorded
June 30, by which George G. King Of
Washington, surviving executor of
Charles G.. King of Newport. R l., con-
veyed to Metzerott lot G of Kings sub
division (original lot No. 10). The con-
sideration was S2,26440. Charles G..
King, then a resident of Washington, by
his will appointed George G. King and
Benjamin F. Larned executors. The deed
was witnessed by Benjamin Marsh and
Henry n. Ward, justices of the peace.
There was recorded a trust on this lot
to Thomas J. Fisher, witnessed by JUS
tees of the Peace J. D. Clark and
Daniel Rowland.
In 1867 Metzerott extended this lot by
buying from John B. Clagett and his
wife Margaret $50 square feet of the
east part of lot r which faces Twelfth
street. That deed was recorded April
it were II. b. Sweeny and J. Pierce
Klingle. kIinge road, leading into Rock
Creek Park, is named for that notary.
and the gray stone "Klingle Mansion"
inherited from Joshua Pierce, jr., stands
in the park.
The Rambler found in records
about dozen deeds to property
bought and sold by Mr.. MetZerott,
but most of these deeds have no
place in this story. There was one,
however, which interested the
Rambler. 1t was Mr.. Metzerott's first
purchase of real estate in Washing
ton and it was in The Evening Star
square. On April 5, 1859, he bought
from James Franklin Caden of
Washington the north part of orig
inal lot No. 10, in square 1922, which
square is bounded by the Avenue, E,
Eleventh and Twelfth streets. The
north line of that lot is rs feet south
of E and faces Eleventh street. On
September 80, 1859, Metzerott sold
part of that lot to George f. Shafer
