AN OFF DAY IN TRADE.
Politics to the Front and Business
Takes q Back Seat.
A DISTURBING FACTOR REMOVED.
Transactions in Realty Showing Activity in
the Small Lot Market.
BUILDING MOVEMENTS AND HOME MONEY

Business, to large degree, gave way to
politics yesterday. Buying and selling
could be deferred for q little season, but not
so with voting. 1t had to be done at once
or not at all Still, trading was fair.
About the only thing missed was the stock
call. Banks and stores were open as usual,
and mills and factories kept right on as If
nothing unusual was transpiring.
To-day everything will be in full swing,
with the election out of the way. Although
indispensable to free government, political
agitation is always detrimeht to business
