The real estate market last week has been about
&C ufeless as 1t the week before. which was
.ors,dered the duiest week in the duest time Of
che wear The total sales for last week reached
about $4,000 about the same average as in the last
,xo weeks. The dog days have proved too much even
IN, prospective buyers. and about every one who
could leave his business has hed TO cooler spots
Dsspite the lack of interest In the market how
.vsr there continues to be a very hopeful feeling
,or the fall and the opinion is general that there
vii be brisk trade.
There were no particular features OF the sales dur
ing the week. At this time OF the year dealers
.eer 10 turn their attention more to the extreme
MINER regions OF the city, and discourse on Its nut
ure DEVELOPMENTS. One particular region which real
estate men never to glory is the territory
living northward from Cathedral Heights. embrac-
ING the sites of Columbia College and ST. Luke's
uosp!;aL Dealers that these institutions and
the buildings which will gather around them Will
intimately enhance the value of all the surrounding
nroperty The territory which lies TO the northward
and 10 the eastward Of this favored region is also
much talked about as tract that will become the
homes OF numbers OF people of more moderate
means A factor which may have some influence on
the property TO the business parts OF the city
!, the erection OF many "sky-scrapers." Com
paratlvely less ground is taken for business pur-
noses and hence there is less business encroach-
ment on the residential parts of the city.
