Real Estate Notes.
Isaac l.. Goff reports that the demand
for loans by people who contemplate
public improvements has picked up con-
siderably during the past week. The de-
mapd for money has been unusually brisk
during the past three or four days.
The demand for exchange OF farm land
for city lots Is much greater than last
year at this time. Good arabic property
Is offered for city plats at very easy rates
OF exchange, and Is finding some patron
age among city people who have acquired
a desire for country life. Sales of city
lots still continue somewhat apathetic,
although very reasonable prices prevail.
Isaac l.. goff left New York yesterday
for Flordida, where he will spend three
or four weeks, combining recreation and
business.
Out OF town and suburban sales are re-
ported TO be slow during the present
month with a slight revival OF activity
during the past three days. Road inn
provements are practically suspended dur
ing the prevalence OF bad weather.
