REAL ESTATE RECORD.

The whole town is growing rapidly.
Real estate transactions this week show
the effect of bad weather. Rainy weather
is not calculated to multiply sales, but on
the contrary has a very decided tendency to
limit them. 1t has operat ed in this way
during the past week and has curtailed
the number of transactions quite a good
deal. The sum total of the transfers
reach s1S3, GOO. The largest sales were
the transfer of $3l, 900 worth of property
to the University of Minnesota. the sale
of the Goodrich property on Summit
avenue for little over 5000, and the
sale of the four lots on the north side OF
Sixth street near Robert, for $50, 900. The
demand is good and all property eligibly
located can be sold at good, fair price.
There seems to be a permanent, solid
growth of the whole city, which is
stretching out in all directions. With the
exception of one or two sections like
lower Fourth and other streets in that
part of town, the growth and expansion
of the town is very even. The growth is
steady, gradual and regular, and very
solid The prospect of getting the Sew
enth street improvement through is
causing strong feeling among property
owners on Dayton's bluff that the prop
erty in that vicinity is likely to be great
" enhanced in value. Property in
that locally has,been little slow in the
market for several years. 1t is now
looking up good deal. An auction sale
last week of number of lots on Seventh
street beyond the bridge resulting in
good prices and ready sale. st. An
thony hill holds its own against all corners
and probably always will. 1t is a de-
lightful spot for private residences and
new ones are daily going up there, es-
pecially on the south side of Dayton
avenue. The tendency seems to be to-
wards outside property, that is, property
outside of the business portion of the
city. This is owing, in a great measure
to the great desire of people to obtain
lots upon which they can erect for them
selves dwelling. For people of very
limited means, West st. Paul offers
probably they best inducements of any
part of st. Paul. Some very de-
sirable lots at White Bear, near the Will
Hams house, are about to be put on the
market. The property belongs to Maurice
Auerbach, T. b. Clark and others, and
will be offered at reasonable prices. The
lots are all large, well located, and it is
understood that trains will be run so as
to accommodate those who go out there
to make purchases and erect dwelling
houses. The White Bear region
will undoubtedly come to be
very desirable summer resi-
dence for those WHO'D can afford the time
to go and come. and this will not be very
great, providing the trains run in way
to accommodate The architects are all
busy with the plans and specifications,
and all the buildings that are under way,
and which have been heretofore men
toned, are being hurried forward as fast
as possible The foundations for D. G.
Shepard's big block are going in. The
piling was all completed last winter and
the first layer Of stone is being put in
place These are very large and every
thing about the foundation indicates that
the work will be very solid. The North
ern Pacific building is well along and
small army of workmen are en-
gagged or the brick work. 1t
is probably the most mas
slve piece of masonry in ST. Paul.
The foundations were laid broad and
deep and the superstructure Is in accord
ance with the foundation. The First
National bank has taken into its own
hands the excavation for its new build
ing on the corner of Jackson and Fourth
streets, and the work is being hurried
forward with good deal more rapidity
than it was. In all parts of the city
workmen of all kinds are kept busy on
the new buildings, of which there seems
to be no end. The following are the
