no cnange Whatever, ana everything re-
| mains substantially as was reported last
| week. There is the same amount of in
quiry as usual, and prices are very firm,
while there is no weakening whatever. All
kinds of real estate are even frmer than
ever before. Not piece of property can
| be called to mind that has been reduced in
price during the past year.
The moderate amount of sales,
| something over 100000, this
week, is no Indication of any weakening
in prices. All who hold property are per
fectly williBg to continue to hold it, feel
ing confident that it will go higher before
it goes lower. The solidity of the market
| is still further increased by the fact that
Notwithstanding the money market is very
close nearly all who purchase, pay much
| larger part of the purchase money down
than ever before, and in many cases pur-
| chasers pay all cash. This market is very
peculiar in this respect, and presents the
case Of sellers being very Indifferent in
deed as to whether they sell or not.
The wellknown tract of land out on
Summit avenue near the crossing of the
railroad formerly belonging to III. Alex
| ander Ramsey has been opened and
placed on the market, and next year a
large number CT handsome residences will
be constructed thereon. 1t is a very
beautiful piece Of land and will without a
doubt find ready purchasers.
The first part of the past week was very
cold, raw and unpleasant, and consequent
ly the business of selling real estate was a
good deal interfered with, still the buyers
were around and actively feeling of the
market.
Messrs. Green & Sargent sold a lot on
Ashland avenue to j. V. Dryer for $2,1O0
who will erect thereon five thousand dol
lar residence. The foundation will 90 in
Immediately.
The same firm sold the residence of John
Godkin, on Hague avenue. The purchaser
is gentleman from Red Wing, who paid
$4,000 for it. Besides these the same firm
sold number of lots in Ninninger & Don
nely's addition.
Mr.. Talant has sold his residence on
Holly avenue, for $4,000, to Mr.. Allen.
Mr.. Zimmerman has in his window on
Third street q very handsome picture OF
the new hotel. Its seven stories loom up.
TEE SEWERS OF PARIS.
The following articles in regard to sew
erage We have been requested to publish,
and do go because Tie conc customs reached
will be of use to the city authorities Of St.
Paul, who are engaged pretty extensively
in the business CT sewerage in this city.
1t is taken from the Inland architect and
Builder, of Chicago:
After full discussion on the subject, the
Technical Sanitary commission of Paris
passed a resolution embracing thirty four
articles, the most important, or rather
those which throw out suggestions that
might be followed in most American cities
with good sanitary results, we append,
emitting such as are already practioed in
this country or are impracticable, at least
to Chicago sewerage. Those requiring the
discharge Of water closet matter into sew
ers passed by vote of twenty one to six.
Art. 2. Every water closet shall be sup
piled from a reservoir by supply pie or
by other means, with sufficient quantity
of water to insure minimum supply of
ten liters per person per day.
Art. 4. The water pipes of sinks must
be trapped near the upper end.
Art. 5. All leaders should be intercepted
SO as to prevent direct communication
with the sewer.
Art. 6. Every soil-pipe or sink waste
should be carried above the roof to estab-
lish active and permanent ventilation.
Art. Z. 1t is desirable that these soil.
pipes carried above the roof, as before
said, should be flushed by automatic in
termittent aush-tanks, located ON the high
est tory where there are closets.
Art. s. In order to insure hermetic
and permanent interception between the
sewer and the house, the outlet-pipes shall
be supplied with traps at their lower ends
before entering the public sewers.
Art. 10. 1t is necessary TO continue the
suppression of the system Of fixed vaults.
To that end new vaults will not be estab-
lished, except in cases to be determined
by the administration, where the absence
of sewer, the arrangement of the exist
ing sewer, the insufficient supply of water,
etc, will not permit the direct discharge
either into the existing sewer or special
sewage system.
Art. II. basin with sloping sides
| should be sunk at the bottom of the vault,
under the manhole cover, to render the
work of emptying easier and more rapid.
Art. IL. In vaults now existing ventil-
alton should be accomplished by inlet
pipes, and pipes open at their upper ends,
and carried above the roof of the house.
Art. II. The emptylrg of vaults should
not be authorized, except by aid of the
most perfect apparatus, especially such as
creating vacuum in the chambers, have
arrangements for the disinfection of the
escaping gases.
Art. 20. The total discharge of excre.
mental matters into the sewers having q
large and constant flow of water, not sub
ject to an accumulation of sand, and in
which matters are carried without hating
to the point of discharge in the collecting
sewer.
Art. q. 1t mar be permitted also in
