IN THE ZENITH CITY.
The Realty Market Continues Very
Active.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Dec. 22.-The Duluth realty
handler is the only man apparently who
has no time for the holidays. He Is
busy at all hours, and the "big deals"
developing will worry seven figures to
express. Money is plenty and buyers
are much more numerous than sellers
for acre properties. All seem anxious
to get hold Of an ''elghty" or two for
plating, ana are willing TO put up hard
cash in go0dly sums to secure de-
sirable tracts. During the week NJ. b.
Harrison sold from ST.. 900 to $4,000 in
small lots, and tomorrow will place a
new addition on the market; the West
Duluth Land company has about closed
out its property near the car works, and
values are steadily increasing; Richard
son, Day u Co. report sales good, both
for West end and city property: the
Merritts, at Oneota, have feathered
their nests to the extent Of over 100000
by the sale of portion OF the property
they have held for years; Morrison d
Macfarland have transferred $4,000
worth of addition property; and j. G. q
Il. NJ. Hunter are only little behind.
The aggregate of transfers during the
week will exceed 100000, the exact
amount being impossible to give be-
cause of so many deals that are never
recorded. The coming week will hardly
develop any renewed activity, but after
the first of the year business will hum
again.
PURELY PERSONAL.
