Next to real estate mortgages, probably, real estate itself forms the best known medium of investment in Canada. While mortgages are never. purchased for: their speculative possibifties--as was noted in a rocént issue, they lack this feature al- . together--real estate is, unfortunately, too often bought for mo other purpose shan the hope of making a quick profit. Of course, land may be purchased on the outskirts of growing cities with a reason. able prospect of making a profit; but real estate so purchased. can no longer claim the title of investment; it is a pure specu. lation. although often a reasonably "safe one. Land purchased for investment must be land capable of returning an income to the' puréhiaser over and above a moder: ate 'allowance for repairs, renewals and | sgontingencies, Buch land must, therefore, be capable of producing Crops,; of must have buildings erected on it" which are sufficiently desirable to be rented iat a rate which produces the return above mentioned. - "42 %Now, suth investment has not only' rea~ #: sonable = safety, but--in Canada--great ' prospects of appreciating in value.

Few large properties return + more than § per cent.--and probably less-- on the investment when all proper allow- ances are deducted from gross income, In Toronto at present there is a dearth uf medium-priced houses for rent. As a re- sult rentals are not only high: but consti tute a large return on the original cost. But there is always the chance that new building will cause the supply to exceed the demand and rentals will fall as al Tesult. Mang, pbople, too, reckon their rate of dncome 'from, a real estate investment on the afffount invested. It is a better me. thod, and will save many false impres: sions, if the returns are figured on the market price. If, despite large advances in the price of real estate, the return on the value of a. property is reasonably good, when reckoned on the market price, there is no occésion to disturb the Tnvest. ment. If, on the other hand, the return is too, low to give a reasonable return, sell the property and reinvest. . Granting that care is exercised, land, producing a regular revenue, is fairly safe, both in regard to principal and ia. terest; it stands a' fair chance of appreci- ating in value; the market price is stable; but the rate of income is often small, when proper reductions are made for re- pairs, renewals, maintenance, etc; and fin ally, land is not readily saleable in the sense that a good bond is. No one who has limited means can afford to invest in' redl estate for the last two Teasons. Moreover, mavy- of the drawbacks attadh- ed. to mortgage . investments exist also in the case of real estats. fry » Cure STOPS COUGHS TRENT i * ve LABOR MADE GAINS, In the British Municipal Elections Held Wednesday.
