MINNEAPOLIS REAL ESTATE
But Confidence Pervades Every Deal
er's System.
BIG THINGS ANTICIPATED.
What the 500 Road Will Do for Minne-
apOlis---Some Sample Trans
ierS Noted.

houluy cHeSlnulS, yet lney, cOlupllcu
together, have had an appreciable effect
on the market, equally as bad as upon
the general public. Both are liable to
change for the better, however, III
short time, when an effort will be made
20 recuperate lost ground. The trans
ferS during the past week have been
the lowest for many months. yet
there is an unalterable confidence that
by the time the snow disappears the
hum of business will reSound with
greater force in all depal tments, espe-
cially in real estate, than Minneapolis
has seen for years. There are several
reasons assigned for this assertion, chief
among which is the completion of the
$500 road, atrunk line originated, built
and controlled by Minneapolis brains
and money, and which with track
unballasted and covered with snow,
doing no through passenger business
and With an uncompleted equipment of
rolling stock, has caused greater de-
gree of CONSERVATION among the old
Eastern trunk lines than was ever be-
fore known by so young and immature
an infant. as they call the 800" Chi
cagO, who has occupied the throne and
controlled the deStinieS of this
great Northwest these many
years, has perception sufficient to
note this fact, and its citizens are
awakening from their long Rip Van
Wrinkle slumber to observe the Flour
City carrying off the laurels. They re-
aliZe the fact, too, that the jObbing in
terestS of Minneapolis are placed upon
an equal basis with those of Chicago
and ST. Louis, and that naturally the
trade which has heretofore gone to the
lake city will drop into the arms of
Minneapolis. Then again, with the
largely increased trade centering at
this point from all directions, will neceS-
state increased facilities, and other i'm
porting establishments will take ad-
vantage of the demand and locate upon
every available corner in our business
center. Indeed, it is the general Opin-
ion of our Shrewdest men that
within the next five years
score of the largest jObbing houses
of Chicago will be located here in order
TO protect the trade that they were so
long i'll building up. Another cause for
maintaining an upright equilibrium and
undaunted confidence is the marvellous
growth of the Northwest, which pours
its unlimited wealth into the laps of the
Twin Cities. from which there is no al
tentative; and when 25 per cent of
the above territory is developed
united population at round million,
corner lots will be trebled in value to
what they now are.

searching around for an elusive real es-
tate item he chanced to glance

as all the GLOBE readers will be at the
very large list of property they disposed
of, and with the consent of the firm the

doubt, and the GLOBE can cOnscien-
