Transfers for the Week.

IL
Notwithstanding there has been some decrease
in the: volume Of recorded transfers during the
past week OF two, We believe there is more activ-
ity in the real estate business than there WAS q
month ago. The volume Of transfers recorded
is in fact only an index Of the condition OF the
nsrket month previous, as it takes about that
long to examine abstracts and complete the
papers,. One thing, however, is quite certain,
VIZ. That confidence in the continued growth
in population, and the consequent continued In
crease in the value Of real estate in and around
this city, was never frner than it is now. In-
dependent OF Jubi1ees, or anything OF the
sort, the summer always brings us q
great many capitalists from the South
who pass portion Of their summer holidays
here and invariably make q great number Of i'm
portant purchases before they leave. As several
magnificent new hotels are now open, Chicago
will be able to offer Inducements to these visi-
tors to prolong their stay. The attractions also
which this city will now afford in the way OF fine
drives around the parks and boulevards will un-
doubleday exercise an influence in keeping strnn-
gera hare longer than in any previous summer,
and before fall will show their eroct in increas-
ing the volume Of real estate business.
AUCTION BALES.
During the past ten days there has been an
endeavor to revive the business Of selling real
estate by auction. Thus far the success has
bean only moderate, mainly, We think, duo to
special circumstances in each case that have in-
tarfered with that special auction, but not in
any general character, unless it be the fact that
the managers Of the sales have not succeeded in
