Gus lines of business in consequence of the
cholera scare is beginning to make itself
felt in the realty market An illustration
of this fact was shown to-day. A deal in
volving S35, 900 was to have been closed this
evening and undoubtedly would have been
consummated had not the report that chol

A gentleman interested in the sale while
on his way to sign the final papers
learned of the rumor through the issue of
an extra edition of an evening paper and
positively refused to purchase the property,
declaring the deal off for the present. This
