REAL ESTATE.

a chnnge is evidently coming over the real
estate market. There has Leen no time eince
last August when there was such perceptibe
INCREASE in the inquiry for all classes Of prop
er.y rs within the rast week. This is the unari-
nous report of nearly all the real estate broels.
One well-known broker, who. deals almost ex-
clusiya}y in drst-class business aud residence
property, tells us that whereas he lid almost
nothing for nearly three months, IN to two
weeks ago, be has within few days u1ade trans-
Rctioue to the amour; OF several hundred thons-
and dol1ars. and that be has now not less than
three customers, capitalists from other cities,
who are here looking for chances to invest in
nUA1SEss PROPERTY,
either improved or uuimployed. Several impor-
tant transactions in this class Of property have
been about concluded in the last few days and
will then appear in the daily lists of transfers.
but for the present the brokers are unusually
ret,cent about the prices obtained, aud the re-
porter is Obliged to give pledge Of secresy be-
fole be can get enough information to convince
hlm that this ambiguous talk about large trans-
actiors ia not al CANNON. The cause Of this
unrac T.. =, nervousness about publicity. seems
to aria. .--4n the fact that nearly all the sales
have been made at considerable
DECLINE IN PRICES
from those at Which the sans property wonld
