MARKET REVIEW
Agents Report Business
Dull for the Past
Week.
Investors Attention al Present
Directed Toward Smaller
Priced Lots.
Oper tons in the Building Line Still
Con tinue Active-Som Important
Contracts Recorded.

During the past week affairs in the real es.
tate line have been quiet. The market, how
ever. is not in bad condition and prices re-
main firm, notwithstanding the prevailing
apathy.
The tendency with investors just now is to-
ward the smaller-priced lots for building pur-
poses. The town is spreading out very rapidly
In all directions, and centrally located resi-
dence sites at moderate figure Will soon be
at q premium. The extension of the street
car service to all of the outlying sections OF
the City and the building of cross-town roads
has had good effect upon small holdings.
Money continues easy, the banks being filed
with coin, and the several building contracts
which pass to record weekly show that opera
tions in this line are quite lively.
