TESTING TAX CERTIFICATES

Business in building and real estate
circles was rather dull again last week.
but. Notwithstanding. firmer feeling
began tn make itself manifest toward
the closing Of the weeks business.
Prominent dealers give as the reason for
the dull condition OF the market that
the runs on banks that have occurred
% frequently Of late have caused men
to hold their money instead III investing
it. They lost confidence in real estate
aud nearly every other line of business
in which money invested would he liza
BILE to be tied up some time before re-
turns could be realized. The specula-
tive market has been most affected by
this stringency. Persons who needed
homes have bought as freely as in years
past and good business has been done
in residences property during the past
year. Building is also affected by the
dullness in other business. The build
era and trades exchange report little do
ing. The masons' strike is still on and
about half Of the local workmen and III
those who came into the city when the
strike was first declared are
idle. The number Of masons
was doubled by the new men
who came here and as consequence
one half IL them are out of employ
ment Two of the new men left ycstcr-
day morningfor Detroit in search II
work. Contractors are hopeful that
building will increase toward the latter
part of the season when money becomes
little easier. New plats are being sur
veyed and recorded with the register Of
deeds each week, and many Of them are
i'm the prettiest residence portions Of the
city. Those recorded last were: John
Huisman's addition. consisting Of eigh
teen lots located between Houscman
and Diamond streets; Patterns addition.
south of Fast Fulton and East Fuller
streets. consisting OF sixty nine lots; r.
e.. Boards addition. consisting Of fifty.
nine lots, situated, between Robinson
road and Wealthy avenue; Sarah A.
McCollum's addition. located between
Robinson road and Lake avenue, con-
tanning twenty five lots, and Minor 4
Murrny's subdivision. containing TWEEN
| ~ eight lots, located between Griggs'
avenue and Leon street. The law re-
curing certificate TO be attached to
every deed giving history Of the prop
erfy conveyed has caused little excite
mcnt in real estate circles during the
past week. Judge Hatch has instituted
proceedings to test tho validity OF the
stats tax history clause, and the matter
will be heard in the circuit court tomor-
| row. The transfers for the week were:
