The realty market, while not having
brought anything startling to surface dur

undertone. None of the large deals, which
have been reported in this column as being
under way. have as yet been consummated,
solely on account of the absence from the
city of parties interested. Many of these
deals will, from present Indications, be
closed during the ensuing week. New ones
of Importance, reported as being under way
to-day by prominent agent, are two sales

W hich will be very interesting when
ready for publication. One is the
sale of large residence in the
East End. the price to be paid Tor the same

avenue by large ravine. To master this in
convenience the city has granted an appro-
priation of $25, 900 for the building Of a bridge
over it, which is a sum sufficient to construcs
an elegant structure of its class. Work on
the boulevard and bridge will be commenced
Immediately upon the return OF Chief Bige-
low from Europe.
Values Likely to Appreciate.

will no doubt take another upward jump as
such an Improvement will naturally enhance
values thereabouts. The sale of real estate
in this locality of late has been very brisk In
ing 274 lots, only % vacant sites remain The
sale OF most of the lots, and the erection of
all the houses in the plan has occurred within
the past year.
