cot q c
ment is unnecessary as showing the compar-
ative QuietneSs of the market Both Au-
gust and July have shown only fair results,
and yet inquiries are strong and steady.
More sales are not being made for the rea-
son that prices are too still, making lntend-
ing buyers cautious and slow in acting. The
market manifes:S no element of weakness,
however, notN outstanding a decreased acty-
ity in consummated sales, and the fall pros
poets are good for a healthy market. Prob
ably, as has been the case for the eight
months of the year already past the re-
naming four months of the year will not
show as good results as for the same period
of last year. nevertheless the years market
is going to be a good one in proving the
stability and flrmneSs of values.
