The Pavement Question.
Speculation in real estate Is either dead or
sleeping. Transfers show moderate actaslty
in Investments, such as the purchases for rail
road right OF way, manufacturing sltes' anu
houses and stores for use. But the FEVER OF 1ast
November to buy to sell again has seemingly
disappeared. Indications are not wanting OF

In the near future. An unusual hummer OF IN

is expected to show an improvement The large
capitalists have been "stting down ~ on the

they have in view on favorable terms. Their
influence has had its effect
IN nEPnEs5ING SPECULATION,
but still greater influence has been the greed
OF sellers, who have raised their prices TILL buy
