The building fever which has prevailed in the west end of Paris for the past few years, says Galignani, has ended as was to be expected, in a crisis in the building trade. Hundreds of houses have been reared in the richer quarters of the town. Many of them, completed in some cases two years ago, are still without a single occupant. Others, again, have been left unfin- ished. The rents demanded in these palatial residences are scarcely ever below 4,000 fcs. or 5,000 fcs. for the uppermost story, which places them beyond the reach of any but the wealthy classes. There is no demand for house-room in the quarters named above, whereas in the centre of the town and the popular districts, small tradesmen, clerks and artizans, have to crowd in wretched houseB at comparative high rents, or take up their residence in the outskirts.
