A Few Sales Reported, but
Mainly for Small
Amounts.
A GOOD BUILDING RECORD.
Business Prospects for This Fall.
Miscellaneous Notes of
Interest.

report q slight increase IN inquiries Ihe past
week, but any marked increase in business is
not anticipated much before September /. 1t
is generally believed that the volume OF busi-
ness this fall will not be equal to that OF year
ago owing to the fact that it is Presidential
election year. When the result of the election
is known the season will be too well advanced
to permit of sufficient business being done,
even with the most favorable conditions, to
bring up the total for the year TO that OF 1895.
The decrease in the amount of transfers for the
first six months of 1896 was 20 per cent, as
compared with the same period of last year.
At the present rate it looks as If the same per
centage of decrease would be maintained for
the entire year
