IN THE REAL ESTATE FIELD
Auction Business IL Slow. hut Brokers
Have Fair Times.

Business with aucti0neers has fallen on, and
IN number Of Instances. according to tho
Record and Guide. they have bought In property
to protect themselves; In other instances no
bids have been made and auctiuneers have
been forced to withdraw their offerings. while
In the sales under foreclosure there have been
several cases where property failed to bring
all that was due uponi it.
With brokers only moderate activity has
been observed. There is an absence OF specu-
la'fvs spirit, but all properties are held at full
figures.
Tho record OF Transactions from Decoration
Day down is not without interest. All the out
of-town sales were we'll attended. UP at Van
Nest station. Westchester. Auctioneer James
