Important Deals.
The real estate market has afforded little
public interest during the past week. The
sales included only moderate values, ana
the absence of railroad rumors and the 10
cation of the Masonic temple served to re-
move the only sensational features whlch
have had tendency to keep alive interest.
~
The location of the new Central market
still hangs fire. Harlow Gale, who holds
the franchise. SAYS that it will in all proba-
bility be on either Second avenue north or
on Second avenue south, somewhere be-
tween Washington avenue and Fifth street.
This is not sufficiently definite to afford
much satisfaction, but it is claimed that
this is as far as the negotiations have pro-
gressed.
The location of the new Masonic temple
at the corner of Sixth street has created
something of a boom OH Hennepin avenue.
The block between Fourth and Fifth
streets, which is graded by Elder Stewards
cottage and garden patch, is once more an
object Of envy to those who hold the city S
advancement at heart. 1t is beginning to
be whispered that it is about the place for
the new court house, and an effort to secure
its condemnation for that purpose Is likely
to result.

The Disciples church has sold off the
piece of property on the south OF the build
ing for sum sufficient to pay off the orig
inal debt on the entire property. There
could be no better case than this TO illustrate
the growth of values in Minneapolis.
Several years ago the piece on the corner of
Portland avenue and Eleventh street was
bought for So, ,5OO on which only 500 cash
was paid. A small cottage stood on the
south one-third, which has paid the interest
on the unpaid 50, 500. This southern piece
has now been sold for sufficient to pay the
debt and leave the church property clear.
The latter is now estimated to be worth at
least S1O,O 900 clear. Next year the congre-
CATION expects to commence the erection of
a new church building.

is the purchase by Miss A. M. Henderson
of the Young property at the corner of
Seventh street and First avenue north,
which lies diagonally opposite the Jeffer-
son school house. The piece is 110X165
feet in its dimensions and sold for S25, 900.
Mayor Pillsbury last week purchased a lot
diagOnally across from his residence at the
corner of Second avenue south and Tenth
street for S12, 500, this being at the rate of
5000 per foot. Coe, FaIman & Co. have
purchased of Dr.. A. Camp for S24, 900 lot

Fifth streets, which has frontage of forty
four feet on Third avenue and runs back
h132 feet to the railroad tracks. A four
story block for wholesale purposes is to be
erected thereon at cost of S22, 900. A lot
has been purchased at the corner of Third
avenue south and Third street for $50, 900
