DRUG ON THE MARKET.
The Real Estate Business Is Now
Practically Dead.
Cheap Tencments May Be In Demand.
Building Permits Granted.

Real estate In still a drug on the mar
ket, partly. for the reason OF generally de-
pressed times and partly because those
who are able to make purchases are not
bothering their heads about business
transactions these dog days, but prefer
enjoying the cooling sea Dreezes to look
ing up good bargains In houses or lots.
All Of the prominent dealers in town,
both urban and suburban, report q great
depression in sales with no visible i'm
provement IN the near future. The rent
ing OF the cheaper tenements, however,
will probably experience a temporary
boom Judging from the fact abouokeventy
families will accompany the Tyler Moul-
ton Shoe Company here from Brook6eld,
Mass.
ICaao Gotf Il Company have prospects
OF some very promising sales in the near
future. About forty OF their lots at
Lovely Lincoln Park have been bargained
for and all but purchased.
Speaxing of closing deals 1t is a notice.
able fact that it takes about three times
as much work to sell an estate to a pros
pectivs buyer these days than 1t did few
years ago. People are hanging onto
what money they have with a tenacious
grip and it takes an unusual amount OF
persuasion to make them part with it.
