REAL ESTATE.
The Work of the week Summed Up.

The Work of the Week Summed Up
The transactions in real estate during ths
past week have been confined, rather more thai
usual, to snail sales. One Of the larges'
purchases being the forty acres bought oy
Mr.. William Dawson, in the northeast part o.
ihe city, bounded on the south by Nellie ard
west by De Soto street. The price OF this
tract was $4,000. There are few other
Transactions nearly as large, but with the ex-
ception OF these al the transfers sho"

amounts. The number CT transfers there
fore are more humorous than usual. Tht
aecrec ate amount for the week is S206, 600
which is just about the regular average. Some
times the sales have been over this amount
and not often below 100000 per week. The
same quiet, solid tone pervades the market
now that has characterized it throughout the
whole season, and there are no more indica-
tons of a boom now than there has been
since the spring opened. There is no preceptible
decrease in building and preparations to build.
New buildings are springing up IN Gil paris
of the city, and new foundations are being
laid in all directions. AS there has been some
decline in the price OF brick during the sea.
son, people are little more disposed TO
build than they were at one time this year,
when there were some indications that mum.
Der of buildings that were to have
been erected would be postponed
till another season On account OF
the high price of material. According to
present prospects all the available force in the
city will be kept busy as long as the weather
will permit out door work to proceed. Lots
in Palace addition, and in fact all around st.
Anthony hill, are in demand, and one cannot
go amiss in buying property in any part
Of the city. It would be difficult to
say which part of st. Paul is growing most
rapidly. II is solid anywhere, in West ST..
Paul, out towards Como, on st. Anthony hill,
on Dayton's bluff, out Mississippi street, in
East ST. Paul, at the Harvester works; every
where the pick and the shovel, the trowel and
the jack-plane, and all the implements used in
building are kept in the liVeiiest
activity. At 1.-THE same time all the architects
are busy with plans AID specifications for new
buildings of all descriptions. Much OF this
activity is due to the promising condition OF
the crops. If the coming harvest is not dis
appointment, ST. Panl will experience growth
next year that will far surpass anything she
has yet seen.
RAPID SALES OF LOTS
are being made near College Place station, in
Como Park village. The engineers completed
their contract on Wednesday, and on the same

20 to one customer, who will this fall erect an
elegant residence thereon. The nearness to
Hamline university is directing the attention
of q great many people to this new plat, who
have children to educate. They want to be
near the college, and with the new and elegant
building for girls, which will be readyin another
year, many people will build and live near the
university SO as to have their children with
them while pursuing their studies. We note
among the transfers twelve lots Tor half
block to Commodore w. F. Davidson.
Sue NJ. D. Fry is also the purchaser of seven
lots in block l, and Of nine lots in block Is.
Considering the fact that Wednesday last
was the first day that lots were really ready
for sale in the village, and that this is the
"dull spell' in real estate, the sale Of thirty
seven lots looks pretty well for a new plat,
and with the number of appointments that
the agent has booked to show people lots who
expect TO buy the coming week. it looks as
though the whole addition would be sold be-
fore December LIST. AS many people in the
state desire to buy lots near Hamline univer-
sity, with view of building houses and
removing here in the future, who
really cannot afford the expense of
trip to st. Paul to make selection, the
proprietor, Col. James ii. Davidson, has pub
lished lithograph map of the city, showing

verse side complete plat sho owing every lot
and block. AS the ground is as level as a
prairie there is but little choice, and the price
is uniform throughout. Any one who
desires TO inspect the plat and designate lots
or blocks that they wish to buy can do so by
calling on or writing to h. 8. Fairchild, the
agent, who will when desired send this map
and plats, and will also mark those lots that
have been sold as fast as sales are made.
Of course this quiet time when real estate
Offices are not crowded and when agents have
ample time TO show customers the property is
an opportune time TO make good investments.
After harvest there will be such a rush for
real estate that those who postpone buying
till then will have TO take the chances of being
crowded and jostled as people are at state
fair or on an excursion train.
Those who wish to inspect Como Park vii
lage can have pleasant drive by carriage or a
special train on the Manitoba railroad every
hour in the day and evening, nd can 90 or
come in twelve minutes by rail.
