There was nothing more than q moderate
| summerlike business done in real estate les
week. The sales reported embrace few bust
ness properties, some choice residences, AM
fashionable building lots, but the
LARGE MAJORITY OF TRANSFERS
are OF low-priced lots bought for use by persons
OF moderate means and by thrifty WORKING peo-
| pie. Real estate is much more firmly held than
it has been, although no speculative movement
has yet begun. Those who have succeeded in
keeping their real estate during the last six ar
duous years are now disposed to discount the
future, and to sell only at advance. 4 sale re-
