The Real Estate Market Denotes
No Special Feature this
Week.
Whisperings Current That Some I'm
portant Transfers are to be
Made Soon
That VIII Make Property in the Vicinity of
the Mimi. Transfer Rise Greatly
in Value.
A Large Amount of Building Going on in
West St Paul In View of the
New Railroad

No change has taken place in the real es-
tate market during the past week, and no
sales of any special importance or signifi-
canoe have occurred during that period. The
market is regular and prices steady with no
special tendency up or down. "Solid'' is the
word that comes the nearest to indicating
the real condition of the market.
There are still whisperings in the air as to
some important developments somewhere
''between the two cities" Just what these
are or where they are to be located is the
point that thus far, has been successfully
kept concealed. Many suspicious have been
entertained one of which is that the Marquis
de Mores has made large purchases out near
the Minnesota Transfer, upon which he pro-
poses to erect an immense Strengthening es-
Enlistment which will carry along with it
the necessity Of employing a large number
OF men and some manufacturing. This
again, it is argued will require
the building of a large number
of houses for the people TO live in. All
this means improvement on large scale
and the building up and filing with people
all that part of the open prairie out by the
transfer. Much has been done already in
this respect by the building that has been
done at Merriam park and Lowering park.
The fact also that Union park has been put
III the market as residence property has also
helped this part of the town. These three
parks though a short distance from the trans
fer, and not near enough to it to be specially
benefited by the proposed or suspected i'm
provements will have their influence in the
growth of that part of st. Paul.
Many other projects are talked of and
suspected in regard to what this great i'm
provement is to be, and no one knows OF
can find out. The general belief that some
thing is to be done out in that general direc-
ton has caused some activity for acres in
that vicinity, and stimulated inquiry. Thus
far, however, no large transactions have
been made, nor has property in that locality
advanced. It simply holds its own, and is
very strong and firm.
The inquiry for property on Dayton's bluff
still continues very active, and while there
is no advance it is very firm indeed with an
upward tendency. As soon as the Seventh
street fill is completed there will, undoubt-
edly, be an advance all along the line, and
that line will extend from the river to the
heights north of the Nelson Lumber company
and east to far beyond the city limits. The
property in that part of town, for the reasons
heretofore given In the GLOBE, has been so
low that it viii be very greatly enhanced in
value on the completion of what is known as
the Seventh street fill, and the people from
the country have a good and convenient
| highway into the city, over which they can
bring, with comparative ease, the produce of
! their farms.
West st. Paul is serene, calm and in deepen
dent The posi- tive demonstrations of the
actual construction Of the railroad into her
midst is having a good deal of influence
upon her people. They feel more than ever
that there is future for them, and that that
neglected part of town is soon to be greatly
improved. There is very large amount of
| building going on there now, and
there will be more next year. West st.
Paul has fully held its own with all other
parts Of town, and hereafter will be even
more capable of d DING this than it las ever
been heretofore.
That part of Seventh street between Min

A number of heavy blocks have been
erected in that vicinity, and it is under
