Real estate men report a slackening In the Inquiry for houses, both of rental and for purchase, during the last week. They attribute this, however, entirely to the weather and to the amount of sickness that prevails In tho city. One agent said this week that he had had several people In his office who were strangers to him and who came to get n price on a particular piece of property which they wanted. "This," ho said, "Is the best kind of demand. It Indicates that tho people nro In earnest, when they have picked out tho houso they want and come to get a prlco on it. We know that such Inquiries do not corao from mere 'shop pers.1 " Another agent recounted an exporlcnco with ono of these men, a stranger to him, who had seen the agent's sign on a house, and asked the price. Ho was told tl.300. This, ho replied, was more than he was willing to give, and he added that $1,200 was his outsldo figure. Inside of ten min utes tho sale was mado at $1,200, all cash, and a part of the purchase money handed over. maim; a test. To l'ror tlw KnVct of Coffee.

WIiiIit'h II ii 1 1 1 1 it if OiirrntloiiM, Of the dwelling houses built In Omaha during the winter, or for which permits havo been taken out since Jauuary 1, about Jtwlco as much money has gone into homes as Into places to rent. This Is regarded as u significant evidenco of the point that has been so frequently made by real es- itato men recently, that ,the great bulk of 'the buyers In tho market aro pcoplo who want n place to live In nnd not merely n placo to Invest their savings In, Of those Intended for rental purposes all but a very few aro first-class brick ("flats" within a short distance of the busi ness center of tho city nnd they nro mostly of : permanent character. They aro built to meet a demand that Is shown by tho manner In which tenants nro found for them before the buildings aro completed. They range from sever, or eight up to thirteen or fifteen rooms to each houso nnd many of them aro Intended to accom modate two or three families. The other class Includes private resl- .Ipnpos. ranpinp frnm iflft tn 11.1 nflrt in value. It Is noteworthy that a very largo ' percentage of the finest of these aro In I what Is known as tho West Karnam dis trict.

Dwolllngs built during tho winter, or about to be built, for Investment or specu lative purposes, Include: Three bricks at Twenty-third and Doug las, costing about $10,000, now under roof, being erected by William Ilocheford. Five bricks on tho north sldo of the samo street, about to be commenced by W. G. Chambers and to cost about $15,000.

Plans nro being pre pared for six brick, modern houses, at SpvVnteenth nnd Davenport, Arehltects" nro fairly busy at this time with plans, nnd a conservative real estate agent expressed the opinion a few days ago that thcrii was a danger of too much building In tho city this summer At present, uowever, he agrees with others in tho statement that more houses are needed. Tli-- AVmit More Itooin, "My difficulty," said a real estato man, "In meeting tho demands of present In quirers for homes Is to find a cottage on a full lot." "I believe," ho added, "that eight out of ten of tho homes of five and six-rooms now being rented are built on thirty feet or less, of ground. When a man gets ready to buy himself a homo ho wants to havo a llttlo yard. "Somo people who aro buying now have romo Into Omaha recently from the coun try, whero they nro not accustomed to bo crowded up close to their neighbors. They llko to sco a nlco fence round their lot and plenty of room to move about In and It Is much tho samo with others who are now getting ready to quit paying rent. "To suit these peoplo Is just now a difficult matter. I know of a women who is living In a llttlo old houso on a nar row lot, for which sho Is paying $13, She has been In Omaha for two years and dur ing all this tlmo she has been trying to find n well-located house, with a bath room and on n flfty-foot lot and has been unablo to. She Is willing to glvo $20 a month rent for what sho wants and I be lieve there aro many like her. "With thoso who want to buy, the do mand for a full lot Is naturally stronger than with those who nro content to pay rent. '"Tho fact Is that most of the houses of this class In the city were built when land prices wero very high and tho only way to raako a lot yield a fair rovenuo was to crowd It with cottages. Now that good lots can bo had for from $500 to $700 there Is not the samo reason for this. A man with a small Income will go out a little way, too, to get a llttlo elbow room If he has to." It was tho opinion of the agent who mad'j these remarks that there was a real op portunity for tome ono to build a few such places to rent at from $18 to $20, or to sell, Tho buildings already planned for this year aro mainly for higher-priced homes or for rows of bricks. Jloiii'y for lloiiir-lluyera, One of tho building and loan companies reports u much larger volurao of loans made this year than In the early months of 1S0O. Ijist year thero was a large de mand for money for small homes In South Omaha, which Is almost absent now, but the falling' off hero Is moro than made up by tho larger loans being maJe In Omaha, There Is reported also to bo a good de mand from small towns throughout the state.

About 310 acres aro Included In tho deal and the prlco was $10,000, nnd wrecked two street cars on the Can neulerle. The engineer and conductor wero roughly handled.

A report has been received at the War department from General Wood, showing that the death rate for the city of Havana for tho month of February was 19.32 per 1,000, which is said to bo below tho average of most American cities, The death rate, It is said, steadily decreases and this Is taken as nn Indica tion of Improved sanitary conditions. Tho death rate Is considered remnrk ablo. During tho last February of Span ish rule. In 1898, It was 82.32 per 1,000. Tho report compares Havana's health statistics with thoso of a number of east ern and southern cities of tbo United States, most of which aro shown to havo a higher death rate than Havana. At present, It Is stated, thoso cities look upon Havana with suspicion, but, says tho re port, Havana will havo to guard against them In tho near future. As to yellow fovcr, It Is shown that In February, 1900, Havana had soventoen cases of that disease, against only eight new cases during tho February just passed. Taking Into consideration tho fact that tho number of non-lmmunes was much larger In February, 1901, than In Feb ruary, 1900, this showing Is regarded aa very encouraging. Exhaustive measures aro now being taken against tho spread of tho dlseaso lu Havana. Besides disinfecting tbo houses, tlio rooms occupied by tho yellow fevor patients aro screened as soon as the caso Is reported and all mosquitoes In tho building and udjoinlug buildings killed. With theso nnd other precautionary measures It Is expected very materially to decrcaso tho yellow fever during tho com ing summer. O morn I .Mile Null for Florida. HAVANA, March 22.
