SUMMER DULNESS IN REAL ESTATE.
SLIGHT TENDENCY TO CONCESSIONS ON THE
PART OF HOLDERS-THE TRANSACTIONS
OF HALE A YEAR.

The realestate market remains the victim Of snm-
mer dulness record Of one week varies only in de-
tail from that of another: the general features are
the same, namely almost absolute ,tagnat0n caused
by the deadlock Of buyers and sellers. There is
slight tendency toward concessions the part Of
holders but il is far from sufficient 10 induce trans
actions any important scale. The market struggles
against the effect Of the rebuilding on the West
side couple Of years ago and ii is also handicapped
by the general sentiment Of conservatism, if not dis
trust which in all departments of business activity IS
inducing men to feel carefully every dollar bill before
il is put out Then again. the uncertain prospects Of
rapid transit are a barrier 70 confident investment
The progress toward the adoption of thorough and
efficient system of travel within the city limits is
slow that investmentO say nothing of speculative
purchases are made most prudently
The auction sales last week were unimportant, and
they were largely Of property offered under legal
actions The coming week also fails 10 present many
attractive features in this line. The public records
show figures about up TO those OF a year ago, but
the growth Of twelve months ought 10 warrant an
Increase if there any spirit 10 the market.

VII! take the necessary time. While
taking time TO clear it's skirts
of the suspicion of undue delay, in official
circles here there has been no change in the
opinion that the New Orleans matter is
being manipulated in Italy to influence
Italian politics. II is surmised that brave
show of indignant national feeling is being
made while there is in Rome a knowledge
that Secretary Blaine's reply is near at
hand, SO that when it is made public the
impression would be conveyed to the Italian
public mind that the United States had
been over-awed.

THREATENED RATE WAR.
A Thing the Texas Lines Are Not Hanker
ing After.

A Thing the Texas Lines Are Not Hanker
ing After.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, April 1O-A serious
matter is the feeling that has been stirred
up against the Alton on account of its re-
duction in freight rates from Chicago to
Texas points. These rates are to go into
effect Tomorrow and will be cents lower
on first class than the tariff from Milwaukee,
although tickets from both points have
heretofore been the same The
Atchison and other lines have
applied TO Chairman Midgley of
the Western freight association for author
ity 10 meet the Atoms rates by way of
their respective routes, but Midgely has
not complied with this request. He takes
the position that the Atoms notice is in
sufficient and that ii cannot therefore legally
make the proposed rates, SO there is no
necessity of meeting them. AS the Al
tons tariffs are out and are to take effect
April IL, the decision of the chairman
does not afford much consolation to the
interested lines. The threat of Chairman
Falthorn of the Southwestern railway
and steamship association to with
draw the divisions heretofore existing
with the Alton and exact full local rates on
all Texas business received from that road
has apparently had no effect upon the AL
ton. What will be the outcome of this state
OF affairs 1t would hardly be safe to predict
The Texas lines are not anxious for
a fight and will do al they can consistently
to avoid rate war, although the outlook
for the early restoration of peace and har-
mony on the question at issue is not very
