The Real Estate Market is Quiet, But
Still Kept Up by Outside
Inquiry.
No Gilt-Edged Sales, But Prices Held
Up to the Very Topmost
Notch.
The Final Location of the Masonic
Temple a Very Uncertain
Question.
Records of the Week in the Sales OF
Property and Building
Permits.
sawdust City Realty.


Real estate in Minneapolis, while not a
drug in the market by any means, has not
been lively during the past week. The sales
reported, while numerous, do not involve
large amounts, and no movement OF gilt
edged property has been noticeable. There
is considerable inquiry, denotlng the pres
ence of outside capital seeking investment.
There is rumOr that Overtures are being
made for the interest of the Illinois Central
railroad for the purchase OF forty acre
tract above the Milwaukee short line bridge
and certain property between Second and
Washington avenues. near Tenth avenue
south. The Illinois Central has already
reached ST. Paul, and is supposed to be de-
sirous of coming to Minneapolis. 1t is con-
jectured that the route will be on the East
side, between the Milwaukee road and the
river, crossing the Milwaukee tracks at
Merriam Park, thence along the river to a
point below the new railroad bridge, where
the river will be crossed. This may OF may
not be correct. but the rumor has had the
effect of raising real estate in the localities
mentioned. and has caused no little cOmmo-
ton among the residents OF South Min
neapolis.
THE MASONIC TEMPLE.
The directors of the Masonic Temple as
sociation held a session that lasted all of
yesterday afternoon and resulted in no
choice of location. AS is now known, the
eligible sites have been reduced in number
to three, Nicollet and Ninth, Hennepin and
Sixth and First avenue south and Sixth.
The owners of these are busy hunting up
bonuses, and upon the extent OF this de
pends the final choice of the board. Several
ballots were taken yesterday, without re-
suit, Nicollet and Ninth and Hennepin and
Sixth being in the lead now. The advo-
Gates of the other, however, will not give it
up, and urge that Hennepin is played
out" and will be utterly dead when the
postoffice is moved. The board is moving
very slowly, and intends to be perfectly sat-
isfied of the best location for Office purposes
before it finally settles to choice. A
smeeting will be held OH next Thursday
afternoon.
