Increased Inquiries for City
Property for Invest.

LAST WEEKS TRANSACTIONS.
Money Plentiful in the Banks for
Good Loans at I.2 to =
Per Cent.

week worthy of special mention. A num-
Der OF firms report increased inquiries for
certain classes of property for investment
such as small fats, medium business pro-
perty, etc. There is also a considerable
number of sales of lots in outside suburbs,
which is regarded by dealers as more en-
couraging at this time of the year than
big deals.
1t is noticeable that the largest number
of sales of this kind are being made in
sections where the most progress has been
made in street and other improvements,
such as are calculated to enhance the
value of property for residence purposes.
1t is generally believed that confidence
in real estate as an investment is being re-
stored. This belief is not due so much to
the increasing volume of business as it is
to the increase in the number of inquiries.
Money is pl entiful for good loans, the
prevailing rate being 81 to per cent.
