The first week in April has not been pro-
! life of flowers or summer airs but in real
estate transfers it has been fully up to the
standard for good spring month, and the
aggregate of considerations shows up
handsomely. Several buyers from the East
have arrived and are carefully scanning all
the real estate Offices for bargains. The
| building season has commenced and the
streets are obstructed with building ma
terials, with an utter disregard of city Or
| dinances that is truly beautiful to behold.
Take the mud that flows SO freely
on one side and the brick and stone and
mortar on the other that won't flow at all
| and strangers are likely to receive a very
| favorable impression of st. Paul. Several
| of them have already made remarks to
| that effect.
1t is impossible to indicate where there
is the most activity as men are buying and
] selling in all directions.
West st. Paul property has been much
| sought after during the past week and par
| ties who have bought or contracted for lots
in that ward prior to the inception of the
boom that has just started over there
esteem themselves exceedingly fortunate
and are already estimating their respect
i've profits. The immigration into
the Northwest has been some
thing enormous for so early in the
season and the rush still continues. The
trains are all crowded and investors are
arriving every day. Letters from the
East and from Europe indicate that large
amount of capital will be brought or sent
here within the year.
| AS an illustration of the interest taken
in the growth and prosperity of st. Paul,
Messrs. Fairchild & Davidson received
during the past week an, interesting letter
from Finlay Dun of the London Times in
dicating that he and some English CAPT
talists might be expected in st. Paul about
midsummer, and showing that he was
thoroughly posted as. to St.IPaul's COM
handing position. Other men repre-
senting large capital are coming over
to invest and st. Paul is just entering
upon period of prosperity that will as
tonish those who have been so conservative
heretofore.
| 1t was rumored during the week that a
syndicate of capitalists had been formed
in New York. representing several millions
of dollars, that would send an agent here
to invest for them.
Syndicate or no syndicate it is evident
that a good deal of money is coming into
this city from the East for investment, and
property can be sold quickly at its fair
reasonable value.
| The corner of Wacouta and Eighth
street, $50 feet on Wacouta by 100 on
Eighth, was sold to G. E. Dickerman fer
$4,000, through George Hazards agency.
NEW INSTITUTION.
| Our advertising columns this morning
show that an extensive land exchange
and real estate Office is about being opened
in st. Paul by 3. B. Herbert and L. j.
Boynton. Both gentlemen are sound
business men and have had great exper-
fence in handling real estate. They are
attorneys as well and will continue the
practice of their profession, (which is an in
valuble adjunct to such business as they
will conduct. Their Office will be at No.
Sc East Third street, and will be opened to
the public during the current week.
Though new corners to st, Paul, they are
old residents of the state and thoroughly
familiar with property values.
