BEK OF OTHERS UNDER WAY.

Two Recent Transactions on Fifth Avenue
Beyond the Court House-A Demand
for Larger Storeroom In That Section
Reports From the Inspector and the
Agents.
There is considerable activity apparent in
real estate circles, with the most interest
manifested in city business property
and improved and unimproved lots
and tracts in the suburbs. Indeed,
the realty market has evidently started
in in earnest as the business transacted
within the past lew days has shown. The
absentees are fast returning. and with their
return the many deals underway which have
been pigeon-boled since their departure are
being taken up again. The past week has
made very good record and from present
indications the present one will surpass 1t.
A deal is reported as being on the hooks
for the sale OF a large tract OF Squirrel Hill
property, which will, If fconsummated, involve
great deal more than 100000. The agent.
Mr.. w. W. Burchf1eld, who is looking after
the interests of his son, Ira NJ Burchfeld,
during the latter gentleman 3 absence from
the city. says that the deal will likely be
closed in short time. Many other transac-
shape for publication, are also known to be
at the interesting point. In fact, the pros
poets for an unusually brisk week are very
fattering.
T
During the past week two important trans
actions were effected in Fifth avenue
property beyond the Court House. A lot Al
kip, corner of Fifth avenue and Old avenue
part of what was once the Rodman prop
erty-was sold for ST., 500, and soon after
ward lot of similar size farther out was
Elected by J. c. Reilly, Diamond street.
There is very little more vacant property for
sale on eastern Fifth avenue. All recent
purchasers have improvements on an ex-
tensive scale IN view. The demand for
stores of larger dimensions than are now on
that part of the avenue is urgent. A great
many purchases have been made with a
view to supplying this want
A Little Gossip.
George Johnston, the agent who sold the
Demmler property on Sixth avenue at $2 500
per foot front, says the price was q fair one
and shows a good advance in the valuation
of Sixth avenue property since the last
previous sale.
Another new plan of lots beyond East
Liberty is about ready for the market. Par
ticulars will be given In this column in
day or two.
