$'2,OOO-COmmodere Davidson BUYS a

The Record of the Week.
Real estate during the week has shown
rather more activity than it has for several
weeks past and the sales round out the
month OF September with a total of
$747,547. This represents the recorded
tranctions only.
besides those that are recorded a number
OF sales have been made that have not
gone on record that would considerably in
crease this amount. One of these is the
sale OF the well-known Destroyer property,
consisting OF 313 acres, located west of the
CITY, together with some city lots, for the
sum OF SI2,oOO. The purchaser was Mr..
Dennls hyan, who short time ago pur-
chased the Angus residence in lower town.
The sale was made yesterday by H.L.Caryer
ana T. L. havanagh, for the Destroyer
heirs, and was cash transaction.
ID. 8. falrchild, during the past week, in
addition to his large auction sales of real
estate, disposed of the following: A lot
on Fifth street for E. Langevin for SO 900;
lot on Fifth street for Maurice Auerbach

Thomas Rossiter for $4,000; lot on
Seventh street for C. E. Dickerman for
$l6'OoO; lot on Cedar street for
G. j. Camp for $4,000; nine
acres ford. b. Davidson for $4,000; the
| residence of Charles Leonard, on the COR
ner OF jackson and Tenth streets for S23,-
OOO. This sale was made to Commodore
W. +. Davidson. who bought it for resi-
dence for himself and his family. The
Commodore sees before him here in st.
Paul, a wonderful growing city,
and has evidently concluded that
this is not only good and pleasant
city to live in, but also good one to make
money IN. He has always had large pc
cunlary interests here in st. Paul, (which he
has retained through his absence in st.
Louis. 1t is pleasant to welcome back
such far-sighted, clear-headed business
man as Commodore Davidson. He is Just
| the Kind of men that are needed here in
st. Paul, and will do much to develop this
young, vigorous city of the northwest. He
has commenced the construction of some
large and important buildings, in addition
to those already erected, which will add
much to the growth of the town, and has
| others that will come ialong in due time.
just as soon as the men and materials can
| be obtained. The block he has com
! menced on the northwest corner of Cedar
| and Fourth streets will be q
handsome and imposing one. A
| considerable portion of the foundation is
| already built, and will be fully completed
! this fall. Col. James H Davidson is put
| ting up building On Fourth street, ad
joining the one commenced by the Com
modore, and both will go along together
Besides this it is we'll known that Commo
dore Davidson is making the necessary ex
cavation for an opera house that i;
to equal anything in the west, mo-
excepting anything in Chicago. These
| are but few of the structures he is erect
ing in st. Paul. Next year some of hi:
extensive plans will be further developed

residences and costly business houses.
Mr.. Fairchild also sold for J. N. Granger
thirty-six lots for $4,000. Altogether,it may
be safely determined that Mr.. Fairchild
during the past week, has been doing q
pretty lively business.
One of the best sales made in the CITY
| for some time was that made by Mr.. P. T,
kavanagh, the well-known auctioueer.
who sold the Timme residence on Rice
street for $4,000. This was satisfactory
to both parties. The purchaser thought
! he got good piece of property and the
seller thought he got good price.
In regard to the general condition of
the real estate business but little is
to be said. The lack of speculation
still continues. All buildings that have
been commenced are being crowded for
ward as rapidly as possible, and at the
same time. new foundations are daily COM
menced. In some instances, two gangs of
men are kept at work, one by night and
one by day, and the utmost activity is OBJ
servable throughout the city.
