| well sustained as to inside property,
and while there is no marked specula-
tive demand for real estate. yet there is
a fair demand at good prices for actual
| improvement for both business and res
idence property. For one, look for a
| quiet market in 1888, but with no de-
| preston in inside values.
| Il. j. Janney & CO.-PriceS in Mime
apOlis realty are firm, and we have great
confidence in the coming seasons bust
ness. We don't expect any boom, but
good healthy growth. We have money
on hand at all times to buy any good
bargains. Have sold several pieces the
past week at fair prices.
s. Overmire-Have unbOunded faith
in all classes of Minneapolis property.
Present prices are none too high. Nu-
merOuS enterprises to be inaugurated at
Single Greek and Hopkins will mater
tally increase the value of property adj
| jacent.
Merriam & Kneale, Owners of Crystal
Park PrOperty-We will advance prices
| on our property in few weeks. Have
no disposition to push matters and feel
confident of much higher prices of all
Minneapolis realty when the season
| opens.
w. Tindolph, Large Property Owner
| Have no hesitation in saying that
prospects were never brighter for a
| lively business next season in realty, eS-
pecially in good residence and business
| property.
j. F. Tubbs- Minneapolis is solid, and
there was never better opportunity for
safe investment in inside property.
Have made few investments in Cali
| fOrnia, but from the present outlook
here don't want any more California in
mine. y.
E. r. Shepard-Real estate values are
firm, with no tendency to sacrifice.
Have customers looking for cash bar
gains, but they are hard to find.
MN. Bracket & CO.-EXpect lively
times in real estate when season opens.
! All kinds of business is in healthy
| condition, and we see no reason why
| real estate should not be the same.
Most inquiries are for outside property,
such as business blocks and lots for ten
ement rows.
Marsh & Bartlett-Have had more
cash inquiries the past week than in the
past two months, while we look for
ward to great activity i'll the spring.
Little d WilSOn-MajOrity of all val
ueS are low compared with property in
other cities. We will remove Feb. to
the KaSOta Annex, where we will oc-
cupy the entire first floor to accOmm0-
date our business, and will then devote
our time to our own property at Mime
tonka.
Willis Baker-Haven't had a single
application to sell lots for past two
months, whereas, year ago, every one
considerably sitter than last season,
and are likely to materially advance as
the season opens. There are no fcti-
tious values, but substantial conf
dence is felt by all in the future.
] Francis & Pool-Have thousands of
dollars worth of property for sale, but
are unable to secure any cut in prices,
but on the contrary, the values are liza
BILE to go higher.
Pattee & Young-The best indications
of the city's prosperity is the large
number of valuable buildings in: course
of erection and to be erected next
season.
:, W. A. Barnes &Co.-An inside prop
erty, both business and residence, pre-
sent solid basis for investment, and
/ prices are liable to advance, including
all the property accessible to the motor
and street car lines. Don't think the
ing the past year. Loans made two and
three years ago at a specified valuation
on the realty have become substantial,
owing to the increased value OF the
property.
A. R. Chestnut-Have no desire to
force my property, but hold the prices
firm and will probably advance them
soon; Money is plenty at per cent.
julius Crosse & Cove have large
feeling assured that renewed activity
will occur with the opening of. spring.
More inquiries have been made this
month than a year ago, while many lots
have been advanced 20 per cent in value
since last October. We have talked
with numerous ones, and they all say,
"Wait till spring."
Longfellow & Russell - Our West
Minneapolis property is quiet, and we
IN demand in a few weeks. We have
been wanting some good inside prop
erty, but couldn't get it at any reduced
figure.
j. N. Bradford & Co.-Prices are firm,
but not inflated. There is strong ten
dency towards an advance, while many
properties have already advanced over
last falls prices. We have several Gus
toners here now looking the field over
preparatory to buying.
r. C. Pratt, resident thirty-eight
| years-Never had greater confidence in
Minneapolis property, and | confidently
expect to see a complete turning over
of all classes of realty in the spring,
and prices will gradually advance.
Anderson, Douglass u Cove re-
gard Minneapolis the safest place to
invest there is in the country. Take
the comparative value of real estate
anywhere and that tells the story.
Hotchkiss & Reed-Feel confident
that Minneapolis will double her pOpu-
latiOn in the next ten years, conse-
quently with the increase in population
there must be corresponding increase
In real estate values. Minneapolis
prices on inside property are not in
fiated, but are firm with tendency to
advance.
Kelly BrOs.-There is plenty of money
to meet all demands at to per cent,
but per cent will be about the ruling
rate. There will not be so many per
cent loans as last year, although desira-
BILE business property can readily obtain
that rate, while residence property, eX-
cept in special cases, will be charged a
9per cent rate. The mechanics lien
law has been an obstacle in making
many loans on certain properties.
w. A. Barnes & Cove have ample
funds to loan upon application at from
6 to per cent. Money is easy when
proper security is given.
