Real Estate Sales.
Yesterdays Hartford Times says: f'The
New York papers announce that persons
having money are still giving attention to
investments in real estate, Notwithstanding
the hot weather. Last week the purchases
in that city amounted to over a million dol
lars, though no large sum was invested in
any one purchase. There can be little doubt
that real estate investments will be sought
for all over the country now that stocks and
bonds and loans produce such low rates of
dividends"
Prominent real estate men in New Haven
hold favorably to the opinion that similar
causes will prevail here to increase invest
ments in real estate, especially prices in
this city are now considered at hard pan.
