on Addison avenue. Ruch Hill. They will

Acknowledged tho Corn.
It was reported yesterday, and verified,
that Black & Baird had sold another piece
of property on Penn avenue, near Garrison
alley, at about 1000. Spoken to about
it, they admitted the transaction, but said
it was too early to give particulars
Old Stories Resold.
There is no doubt of an active movement
in Penn avenue property, but 1t is hard to
believe that the street is being sold out in
lump, as some people have it. Tho sale
of the Dalzen property to Mrs. Herst and
the Messler transaction were reported in
this column more than a month ago. The
former was negotiated by George Johnston,
and the latter by Black s. Baird. Mrs.
Herst paid about S160, 900 for her acquisi-
tion, as stated at the time.
