Made Last Week.
| In the real estate loan market very 5e" loans
were negotiated the past week. Loan-agents
| think the holiday season is affecting thcm, but
| the truth is, there is no demand; money Is
| drup and the market is still in q sinking con-
diton. Low figures are the ruling rate o1 inter-
| est. Notwithstanding all the attempts to pre-
| vent its fall below pcr cent, there Is such q
| weakening in tue knees, borne down as loan-
| agents nre by the weight OF money III Their
pockets, with no prospect of relief, that 1t WILL
| mt, be surprising if interest meets with de-
cline. PAYMENTS are about up to the average.

| OF the past week.

The parties who have the disposal OF this prop

ttlci woes. 1t is true that there is some dil-
,ulty Is in sho,o.g lofS,'' as the saying Is when
the roads are qua.tnircs, anu the land Is under

out-of-town lots has not been fulfilled. 1t Is
too we'll known that savings banks were wrecked
on tie real-estate reef, and hence, why should
