REALTY MARKET.
Warm Weather Has No Effect
On the Transactions.
Suburban Business Unusually Good.
: New Building Projects Afoot.

Business Is improving daily In real
estate circles, and, despite the warm
weather OF the past week, transactions
We're numerous and the market active.
Agents and broken report q steadily in
creasing demand for good properties, de-
sirably located, and while the majority of
last weeks transfers were for compare
lively small amounts, there were several
c~onveyances ~aggregating considerable
sums. Out-of-town purchasers gre looking
into Proyidence realty and some instances
bought choice home sites. The loan mar
ket preserves its characteristic activity
with but little falling off In the total
number OF loans made, over those OF the
past week. The owners of houses and
tenements to rent report . rapidly in
creasing demand for houses while IN the
suburban plats great activity rules. Houses
on these annexes to the city are
being rapidly constructed to meet the
growing demand and before the setting In
OF the winter season these plats will be
thickly settled by fore-sighted house
owners. The valuation of city property
Is continually increasing and lots which
but q year or two ago could have been had
for almost a song, have increased in
vaiue 10 tidy sums, and lind
quick purchasers. A noticeable
tendency exists to Ill in the vacant places
IN the city limits, and on all sides can be
seen busy workers engaged In ieveling of
parcels OF ground, preceding the horde OF
hustling masons and carpenters. II is
rumored that a syndicate has been or
gained for the building OF a series of
"hats" on Duncan street, a new thorough
fare opened from North Main street, ex-
tending easterly over the hill, the prop
erty to be controlled entirely by the
syndicate and the fats to be complete In
every detail for the accommodation OF
from three to six families. With all these
Indications OF building activity, the real
gafafa aDanto - aatt.AaI sbofhA kxaf-
ness depression is about over, and that
early in the fall q decided change for the
better will be forthcoming. Going on
this belief, agents are not grumbl ng, but
, wood 7 'act' saying nothing and saving
Another New Block.
