This is tho main reason tho order trade Ia
often larger than sales from the country and
was doubtless the case to-day.

FINANCIAL.
Real estate, especially in the business cen
tire of town, is still rapidly going up. Many
purchases have been made during the week,
and negotiations innumerabe for others are
in progress. There is IL ceaseess din Of
hammers and saws heard all around town.
