Kinney Estate Leases Broadway Plot.

Tbe Farmers' Loan & Trust Co.. as
trustee for the estate of Francis S. Kin¬
nev, has completed negotiations for leas¬
ing the property at 1437 Broadway, run¬
ning through on an "L" to 143 and 145
Vi'est 40th street. The plot has a Broad¬
way frontage of 24.6 feet with an irregu¬
lar depth averaging about 63 feet and a
frontage on the side street of 50 feet.
The property, it is understood, will be
used as a site for a moving picture and
vaudeville house. The lease is for a
tenn of years. The buildings were once
occupied by Martin's restaurant and
hotel, a resort well known to the theatri¬
cal profession many years ago. The
identity of the lessee could not be
learned.

Wholesale Carpel Firm Goes lo 4th Ave.

A lease was signed this week which
will add a new wholesale business to
those already located on Fourth avenue
and may very probably be the means of
drawing others in the same line to this
thoroughfare. Albert B. Ashforth and
Horace S. Elv & Co. leased for Joseph
Milbank to the Eigelo-^\- Carpet Cb. a
floor and a half, comprising about 17,-
000 square feet, in the building, at the
southwest corner of 25th street. The
lease is for five years with a privilege of
renewal for five years, at an annual
rental  of  about  $15,000.

This concern, one of the largest in its
line, is now located on Broadway near
17th street, the present center of the
trade. It is known that other carpet
firms are considering a move, and it is
probable that some of them will also lo¬
cate   on   Fourth   avenue.
