TRANSACTIONS.
Auction Sales Coming Thick and
Fast.
Two Sales for this Week Announcad-sales Re
ported by Agents-Notes Of
Interest.

During the past week there were four auc-
ton sales, all Of which were well attended,
and the property sold brought fair prices.
The Soulhside block sold by Easton.
E bridge K Co. proved that the public is III
t.rested in this class OF property. The more
Conservative dealers ana buyers are at loss
tc understand the demand for outside lots,
and are inclined to advise against buying.
But the public rea sons that these men have
in the asst dsarploved Of other districts
which have since greatly increased IN value,
and that they are mistaken now as they
were then in the future Of the city. This IS
shown by the eagerncss with which choice
property is sought for, and by the large
humber Of important Improvements under way.
All of these Improvements have a tendency to
maintain prices, and II is safe TO say that.
Tie dealers all report that there was never
b.uer demand for good Investment property.
Every Iieee Of gilt-edged property Is picked up
as soon as ii is put on The market There is
every evidence of Increasing confidence on the
part Of capitalists. Buyers can never buy prop
elty in any part Of tue city cheaper than they
can buy now.
Two auction sales are announced for this week
and TWO for next.
