REAL ESTATE MATTERS.

\ Number of Additional Transfers-
 A Large Business Looked For Tn
 the Spring-The Advancement Made
 on Chapel Street-Further Improve.
 ment Looked For.
 A number of real estate dealers who were inquired of Saturday with reference to the market said the sales of the past season had been such as to warrant the expectation of still more active market next spring. New Haven real estate they believed to be on a hard-pan basis as to prices. In other cities of like size prices were higher than here. The dealers were of the opinion that something of boom might be expected for next spring. Prices were too low for good estate in some DOT tions of the city. There was no reason why there should not be healthy advance in prices. It was not true, in their opin- ion, that too many houses were being erected, and for the simple reason that the population of New Haven is fast increas- ing. If there are no building strikes next spring they thought there ought to be plenty of work for all in the building trades. If there is another strike build ing operations will be set back like as when the masons' Tong strike was inaugurated. With everything favorable there ought to be season of prosperity next year for all interested in real estate.
 Some of our enterprising citizens have taken considerable comfort and pardon able pride in viewing the changes made for the better on Chapel street in the i'm provements made thereon since January last. General Ford led off with his very praiseworthy alterations and embellish ments of his building, Howe & Stetson made things shine as soon as they got possession of their new quarters and are doing fine business, Peck 6 Parker em- bellished and improved their store front not little, s. Goodman & Co. the jewellers, brightsned up their side of the street at their new store, making it very attractive. The Winchester estate's new building, the front of which is now up, is great inn the color of the brick used, despite their cost. The building is nevertheless great improvement. DeBussy & Manwarring frightened up their store front. The Shoninger & Go. store and building front improvement is another creditable and en- terprisipg move and helps along Chapel street, which yet has altogether too many dingy and antiquated structures upon it. Then there is the very handsome and con- spicuous improvement made by F. M. Brown & Go. at their "Grand Central stores. Monson 6 Carpenters new store looks bright and attractive, and the firm has just added still another store, having now two entrances from Chapel street. be- sides having recently added large room in the rear-as large as some of the lesser o4, ~&~ o. ro are nearly ready to throw open the big ad dition to their premises, which is furnish ed by the building just erected by Edward Malley on Center street, which is simply ( notable enlargement of their Chapel street emporium.
