REAL BUSINESS.

Week.
The rcal estate record for the week
elbows .hat nearly all the transactions
have acen for small amounts, which |
multiplics The number of pieces sold, but
does Eot necessarily increase the
sum total of the sales. The
amount of all the transactions
foot up 100000, which is a little
less than the usual amount of weekly
sales as they have appeared all summer.
The market still maintains the same
steady, undlsturbed, healthy tone that
has distinguished it all the season. |
While the sales have not been for large /
sums they are more numerous than they
were the week before. Building IN all |
parts Of the city continues as active Us
ever, and in every direction on the
outskirts, as well as in the more thlckiy !
settled portions, the same general activity |
prevails, and buildings are going up all
around. Additions are being continually
made TO the city by new platS so that the
area is constantly being augmented. No
less than ten new plats have been made
this last week. Five of these were by
the ST. Paul Syndicate, one by Geo. w.
TrumbulI, one by Paul Martin, one by
Henry Warner, one by Ed
win Winter, and one by
Edward G. Rogers. All of these were
small additions, except the first five by
the st. Paul real estate syndicate. These
were very large. AS these additions are
among the largest ever made TO the city
it is well enough to describe them little
more fully.
