J—If (he future miy bi judged by present promises build¬ ing here in the spring is very likely bo be dull; bub, undoubtadly, it ia yet a htble boo early to arrive at a conclusive judgment, for the next few weeks may eorapletely change the face of affairs. Just now, however, general duUness prevails. Real estate agents are "doing nothing," if "nothing" may be classed among tbe things anyone can possibly do. The demand for all kinds of property, with the exception of well-eituated stores, is as low as it well can be. Architecta have little to report, though they say there la plenty of work on the board which may come to something if—. Indeed uew projects are hedged round witb " ifs," the moat important of whicb is prica. Labor is high, so is material, and last year's great boom hasn't mide eligible sites for building cheaper than they need be. Broad street property is greatly in demand, but it is not to be bad even at what may be called extravagant figures. Among architeebs W. Halsey Wood Is very bu^y, but [much of the work is for "oub-of town," especially down South, where this architect bas several iniportaut commisiions now in the preliminary stages. J. H.
