while on visit to Mr. Denio's family in

REAL ESTATE MATTERS

Yesterday was another busy day in the aucsl0n
mart and one Of apparent activity. The attendance
was large, showing the great interest felt In the
market, and the bidding tolerably prompt; very
considerable portion of the property, however, as on
previous occasions, being bought In. The feeling
that IN order 20 stimulate dealings those orerng
property at the present time must abate their expec.

Thus we have the danger OF purchasing property

The great future presented In the completion OF the
Pacific Railroad and kindred agencies stimulating
the growth OF the metropolis Is now being too largely

handsomely, Notwithstanding this anticipation In
