The trend of the real estate market for

ton than did the same week last year.
While everything is quiet at this season
of the year. the realty market is by no
means dead, the number of transfers

taking into consideration the fact that
nearly every sale OF vacant lot means
business building or residence. the real
outlook in realty circles will be the better
appreciated. 49,
Office surrounded by number of parties
making inquiries for different lines Of real
property, and while they claimed that
business was dull, the facts which the re-
porter noted in their office would hardly
bear out their modest assertion.

of sales this week, among which are lots
in Washington and Hutcnins' tracts sold
to ]. A. Tobin, who will erect a residence
in the Washington tract at once. Mr..
Parsons, of the above firm when asked as
to the outlook, said: "Lf anybody has

The old. reliable firm of Girder & Dow
were found in their new office at 10 South
Broadway, in a. state OF nervous agitation
and mental perturbation, the humidity
of the atmosphere being increased several
degrees on account OF the calorlc generat-
ed thereby. A rumor had gained cur
rency early IN the day that the firm had
gone out of business and they were soon
overrun with callers who could not be-
lieve the rumor and fastened to verify or
refute it by calling on the firm, ana both
gentlemen were at a loss to account for
even the shodow of such a rumor until
a friend pointed odt to them the fact that
their usual ad. had not appeared in the
morning Herald. Then they vainly at
tempted to get out to go to the Herald
office to demand the why of this, but the
press of the callers was too great and they
were compelled to remain in their office
and dispatch messenger to the Herald,
who soon returned with Col Smith, he
of the advertising department., whose
eagle eye had early noticed the omission,
and this is the story he told: 1.-The ads.

turned in on Spring from Third street.
The boy landed IN the entrance to the
Hoffman cafe. from where he was hastily
removed to the receiving hospital. The
remains of the bicycle were found on the
nose of the COW catcher after it arrived at
the barn, for it was the last trip. on
which no stops are made, and the adyer-
Using copy was scattered from Third and
Spring streets to the car barn."
This entirely satisfactory excuse for the
non-appearance of the advertisements
was accepted by Order & Dow their pa
irons were delighted to find the rumor q
fake. the crowd dispersed, business was
resumed at the new stand, and one of the
firm told the reporter that they had sold
every lot in the Central avenue tract. all
but four in the Briswalter tract, ana only
had very few left in the beautiful
Adams street tract.
