The modern tendency 1n all hignly oiy- ilized countries is toward the centralization of populatiou in cities. People aesert the country and crowd into communities,causing the small town to rapidly put on the airs of a city, while the city of moderate size bacomas a groat metropolis in an equally short time, Tho many requirements of modern civiliza- tion have created such numarous and diverse industries as to make it possible for the con- stantly increasiog urban population to not only oxist, butto becomo owners of homos, and to that extent, at least, landlords. ‘The marvelous growth of this well-to-do class of citizens has causod a steady inorease in the demand for residence property, and values have been sSteadily advancing in all the prosperous cities of the country. Lands in the near vicinity of cities that had been looked upon as useful only for farming purposes, and likely to remain in that condi- tion for years, have been in a surprisingly short time wanted by the home seekers, who bave converted meadows and coranflelds into city additions, Effect of Boom Speculation, In addition to the ocentralization of pop ula- tion in cities there has also been & corre- sponding tendency toward the centralization of capital in vast busitess enterprises. Com- panies and corporations are organized every day, with capital stock that a few years ago would have been looked upon as enormous, but which at the present Lime does not even excite comment. The development of great business entarprises has croated an increassa denand for business property in every pros- perous city, and accordingly values on this class of real estate show a correspondiag ad- vance. ‘With the same conditions existing ana tho samo forces at work 1n all the promising ciues of the country, it was not strange that capitalists should have bsen attracted by the certainty of large probts to be made from it- vestments in good city real estate. From 1884 city property us’ an investment grew rapidly in favor with capitalists, and the handsome profits reaiized in most cases only whotted the appetite for more. This led to the so-called boom in city property, which culminated in 1887, Instead of long time in- vestors, operaling on & conservative aud thoroughly businesslike plan, there sprung up an army of speculators, who bought one day expecting to sell at an advanoce the next. As 1f there;were not cities encugh in the country for their purposes, tho boom- ers croated new cities without number, cities that bad an existeace only on paper. The Pacifio coast and southern states were especially prolific in these paper cities. The wilduess of this speculation and the great extent to which it was carried on pre- cluded the possibility of its long existence. ‘When the bubble at last did burst it .midnly opened the eyes of investors to the W.ata; oility of speculative values in the paper cities but unfortunately made them very timid aboat investing; in frst class property in the solid cities of the country. To this cause must be largely ascribea the period of quiet iu city real estate transac- tious that has prevailed since 1888, Some cities in the country have suffered quite severely from.the reaction brought about by excessive speculation and from the loss of confidence on the part of investors. Good Fortune of Omafn., Omaba has been more fortunate than mest other cities in respect to her real estate market. When the boom was at its height in other cities there was great activity in the Omaba real estate market but the business was not carried to such an extreme as to be- come a menaco to the city's prosperity. Much of the property disposed of fell into the hands of pecplo who coutemplated im- proving it at some future date. The prop- erty that was bought for purely speculative purposes was mostly held by people able to Imeet the payments, so that only a small per- centage was allowed 10 go back when the speculative demand fell off. Speculative values in the outlying addi- tions were pushed up more rapidly in some localities than was justifiable, owing to the large number of small_speculators with only capital enough to handle cheap lots on casy payments. Since 1588 the process of liquida- tion has been going on steadily until the holders of most of these lots are entirely out of debt. The city bas also expanded and built up 10 and boyond many of these adai- tions, so that oven if the purchasers paid too much' five vears ago the property is now worth all or more than 1t cost them. While property in the far-out additions was sometimes carried beyond its uctual value by the speculators, inside property did not advance any more rapidly than the material growth of the city and was *‘a pur- chase' at any time. Since the cessation of the speculative fover in 1557 the city has been rapidly improving, while real estate values have been looked upon as stationary. If the values on inside property were not ex- cessiveia 1857 or 1888 it would follow that they must be low at the present time, taking into consideration the growth of the city. That values on inside preperty are low even the most conservative business men are claiming and a careful review of the facts would verify te statement. The real esiate siiuation in Omaha summed up in a few words is this, the eity in its growth has overtaken the specula values placed on outside property, und b gone beyond the values on inside property Thero is a growing sentiment that property in Omaha is today lower than it will ever be again, Thoso who have watched the cur- reuts of events already note renewed inquiry for property as peopla with money come to see the opportunities awaiting them, Nothing in the nature of a boom is antici- pated. but as the bank deposits will prove there is plenty of 1dle capital seeking iuvest- ment and a large percentage of this is likely 10 go into real estate. —_——— A Close Call, Mr. J. P. Blaize, an exteusive roal estate dealer in this city, narrowly escaped one of the severest attacks of pocumouia while in the northern part of the state during the ro- cent blizzard. Mr. Blaize had occasion to arive several miles during tho storm and was 80 thoroughly chilled that he was uuable to get warm, and inside ef an hour after his re- turn o was threatened with a severe case of pneumonia, or long fever. Mr. Blaize seat o the uoarost drug stors nnd got - botuio of | Chamberlain’s Cough Itemedy, of which he bad often neard, and teok a ntmber of large doses. He says the effect was wonderful and tbat in a short time-ho was oreuthing quito easily.
