this time of. the year, when prOspee-
tive buyers are endeavoring to find
just how they stand financially In their
respective lines of business real estate
affairs are nearly at a standstill. But
when the holidays are over, and the
short stagnation incident to the trades
and professions generally at the turn
ing over of the annual leaf is past,
then all the dealers are confident will
come a steadily increasing demand for
both business and residence properties.
Prices are not expected to change ma
terially for some time yet, owing to the
fact that so much is offered for sale.
Another incentive to activity in the
real estate world, If ever secured, will
be the reduction. so commonly men
toned, of interest rates to 6-per-cent
basis.
Building matters are limited in num-
Der Of late for obvious reasons. A few
large sales have been reported and
others are in prospect. One really
large deal will probably be consum-
mated by the middle of January.
