HOMES OF PLANT AND VANDERBILT GO TO TRADE Fight Ended to Keep Out Business, but Architectural Beauties Are to Be Preserved in the Altered Buildings. Two more of the few dwelling remaining on Fifth avenue below the park are to be given over to trade. Cartter, a jeweler at 712 fifth avenue, completed arrangements yesterday for taking over under lease the Morton F. Plant houee nt the southeast corner of Fifth avenue and Fifty-second street. At the same time It was announced that William K.

Vanderbllt had rented the adjoining dwelling ut 647 Fifth avenue to an art firm. That Mr. Plant was negotiating' to get a business concern Into his property has been known for some time, but that Mr. Vanderbllt has surrendered to trade another bulwark which ho himself erected ngalnst the advance of business up Fifth avenue is taken by real estate men to mean that the days of the little Vanderbllt colony across from St. Patrick's Cathedral are numbered.

The Jewelry rlrm which has obtained the Plant house has taken It for a long period of years at an extremely high rental, and the first step toward the consummation of the transaction will be the alteration of the building at a cost of $50,000. When Mr. Plant decided to lease the property he ruled oh a concession to those who had been his neighbors for many years that the outward appearance of the building should not bo changed In any way.
