months sometimes before 1t can be ac-

case in Pittsburg. In New York i. Is
entirely different They have their real

same as on the floor Of the stock ex-

If the price is within reason, the deal can

by the system in vogue in fittsburg il
requires several days. IN New York,
and, in fact, all cities where they have
an exchange for the transfer and sale Of
real estate the Jews are By far the heav-
lest dealers, for the reason that they
think the securities good and stable,
and with the system Of exchange

however. exceptional cases in this city,
where Hebrew merchants have realized
handsomely on their investments in real

Jews to take active hold in the market
