very good.
The market in the city remains I'M
| changed. There are but few sales being
made and it is not expected that there
| will be much if any improvement until
| fall. The scare over the proposed big tax
| levy has about subsidized and menace to
the market is not looked for now from
this quarter. The fact, however, that it is
| presidential election year is not calculated
| to help matters much, even with the COM
ing of the fall season, and in consequence
there may not be any marked revival in
| the market until next year. Values are so
! low, however. that the few wise ones who
buy now will reap the reward OF their fore
| sight when the market again assumes an
upward turn.
| Building operations are also quiet.
There are a number of large structures
going up about town, and when building
| contracts for these are filed from time to
| time it causes the aggregate to assume
| very respecta BILE proportions. But an analysis
| of the contracts filed since January 1 shows
| that the number of dwellings, flats and bust
] ness structures of moderate cost that have
| been erected and contracted for since that
| date is comparatively small 1t is extensive
| building operations on a small scale that
creates activity among the building trades,
| - AN"N-
| market before there will be renewal OF
| building operations in the way of the erection
OF moderate-priced structures.

Shainwald Buckbee L Co. have added a
loan department to their already extensive
business. At this time, when many loans are
made by private individuals on country lands,
as well as on city property, there is an extern
sive field for brokers in negotiating loans for
parties wishing to borrow. This firm has
made arrangements with several very heavy
capitalists, as well as with some corporations,
who are making loans on mortgages. They
propose to negotiate loans on property at the
ruling rates of interest The success of the
other branches of their business assures the
success of the new department. G. D. Shad-
burne Jr., son of the well-known attorney, is
manager of the loan department.
