prevails elsewhere. a New York paper SAYS OF
real estate there:

would not accept lo1er rates Of value than had
ruled hitherto and capitalists who were III the
market as buyers would not pay the prices asked.
The low prices lately realized for real property
Of all descriptions, which was forced on tue mar
ket by legal proceedings. has. however, con-
yiaced owners and dealers that the time for
high prices has passed away, and the - dead
lock" has been overcome by reason on tha part
OF both owners and buyers Therefore it 10
transacted on this basis AID tue market Will
