AMONG THE DEALERS
Reports Of Sales Made and Of improvements

work, with more than the usual NUMBER
of sales consummated. Special activ-
ity seems to prevail in moderate priced
lots for home building purposes, and for
the first time in months large number
of sales are reported which were made
with the distinct intention of selling
over again at an advance, and the spec
ulators seem to have accomplished their
purpose very promptly.

According to the Daily Journal, the
Builders Indemnity company has had
some disagreement among its stockhold-
ers as to the correct way of running the
machinery of the company, some main :
tanning that the moral allegiance to the
company was such that when a contrac-
tor was refused a bond on account of
low contract price, no member of the
company was at liberty to sell such con-
tractor goods for that self-same build
ing unless he (the contractor) paid cash
for such materials. The other faction
claim a right to sell to whom they see
fit under any conditions they may elect
to accept The condition of the affair
now is that the Indemnity company will
issue no more bonds until such time as
the differences are settled or the affairs
of the company closed up
