and he was almost Che last man who would have

DEcLrNg IN RgAL ESTATE IN PutLApstru,-
The recent strngcncy Of monetary affairs has caused
decided decline In the price OF real estate in almost
every section Of our city and rents have also in many
instances receded. Small stores and moderately
large dwelling houses in best locations continue to
rent readily and bring fair prices. The number OF
houses for sale or TO rent j. now larger than for
twenty years past, and the number is daily increas
ing. In most instances where leases have expired,
the parties have either retired from the building or
compelled the owners to submit 20 lower rents and
IN the extreme northern sections Of our city where
many houses have remained vacant Tor some time
past, properties have been disposed OF ut cosidera
bly, less than the cost. We notice also by
the sheriifs advertisements that an unsu-
ally large amount of property has fallen
into his hands. the most Of which Is disposed
OF at ruinously low prices, but in many instances
subject to such litigation as to make the invest
mcnt by the purchaser doubtful one. Until there
is some improvement in mercantile circles, some
activity in manufacturing interests, more employ
ment for the laboring classes, and restoration a
that confidence which formerly existed, we cannot
look for any Improvement, from the present
stagnant state OF affairs LaEc quantities Of ground

Gently reverted TO the original owners the advance
