+. not often been as bsre OF noteworthy tran6-
IL ne as it WAS during last week. The dealers.
Wzo IRE never dismayed OF discouraged. unani-
morsly reported that real estate WAS Grmsr, and
when pressed for explanation referred to the
weather. The principal occupations Of the week
were attending to tax matters, title searching.
and ofico wort that is allowed to accumulate TIL
this quiet season The
FEELING OF TIE sugEwDEsT OBSERVERS
Is that the present is IN unusually favorable op-
portunity for investing in real estate here. One
Of the most successful agents in the city, gen
tleman who in year has sold sG32, Coz worth uf
the choicest improved property on State street,
in the business district, and lying within TWO
blocks Of Madison street, said yesterday that
within Eve yea.e the capitalists md investors OF
Chicago would be upbraiding themselves Tor
their folly in not having bought real estate at
this time. Property in the very heart OF tue
city oould be bought at prices considerably
below the figures at which it had once sold, aud
Offering
CERTAIN AND HEAVY PROFIT.
Those who had the nerve to go in now could
make handsome fortunes It is noticeable that
The number of cheap pieces Of inside property is
diminishing As another prominent dealer re-
marked, a. The cheap lots are almost all sold"
This may be especially noticed on Michigan and
Wabash avenues, north Of Twelfth street, where
the decline was most marked. Property that
vas offered few months ago at great reduc-
ton from ante-fire rn:es is no longer to be had.
A sale was made at the corner OF Van Duren street
and Michigan avenue Inst year ut $3.50 foot A
corresponding corner one block south is held
firmly at $500 foot On Wabash ayenu7 tAero
has been an evident Improvement in the neigh
bortood Of Madison street, owing to the erection
of the new business blocks. aud also farther
south where Board of Trade operators hare pur-
.hRsed aud improved. Under these clrcuu1stan-
eas tne general tone of the real-esrate market is
6rm and confident, for all the dullness in actual
busine8s.
