sellers appear to have private reasons for
withholding their tr ansactions from the
public, and yet ii has been observed by the
observing that these sales and purchases
are by no means of a speculative character,
for those who buy hold on or build upon
the ground, which is good evidence of their
faith. The rapid strides which Dallas has
made during the past year in building.
Notwithstanding the scarcity of material
such as brick, stone, etc, and the numer.

are bona tide, and, though IL might seem TO
an outsider that fancy prices were be-
