Just now, to all appearances, the 'Western real es- tate •market has been decidedly over- done, The suburbs of many western cities have been subdivided to such an extent that there are building lots on the mar- ket that would accommodate a population of from five to ten tunes their present po- pulation. Even at their present :rapid rate of growth, therefore, there is little chance of much of the subdivided land being really valuable for many years to come. Consequently and conversely there is every probability' that much' of this land will fall sharply in price as soon as people realize this fact, and they are be- ginnine to realize it at the present time. If you had a bill of sale on some 0fahis property, how would 'Sou fare? That is a question that many people are asking, and it appears to mo that they have every reason to feel uneasy. Those who have followed this column from the first, know that even in Canada one can get in income of over 6 per cent. with safety only on rare, occasions. As we have seen, the agreements of sale netting 25 per cent. are by no means safe, but peculiarly enough -and you will see why when you come to think it over -the same agreement netting 6 per cent, is even less safe. The reason is clear. The agreement netting 25 per cent. is selling at a• heavy discount, while the, one netting 6 per cent. sells at par. In other words, other things being equal, the one netting the higher return has a proportionally greater per- centage of security back of it.. However, to get either' your 6 per cent, or your 25 per cent. the agreement, must- be paid of at maturity at, par and this, judging from the present appearance of the mar- ket, is just what is unlikely to happen, taking,them on an average,, The moral of it all is: "DO NOT BE TEMPTED; TO BUY INVESTMENTS SOCALLED WIIICYI RE- TURN A 111C:H AMOUNT OF INCOME.'
