THE STATISTICS FAR FROM ENCOURAGING
AUCTION SALES SCHEDULED FOR
THIS WEEK.
The spring selling and renting season IN the rear
estate market Is practically over now ana 'n'
prospects are that the summer season VIII DC III
most II not fully as quiet was the market IN
the summer months Of 1896 A comparison Oh INC
transactions of the first four months OF this year
with the corresponding months OF 1886 shows that
the total number OF conveyances from Jahua'! "
May was 5527 and the total amount inVoNeo N"'-
s29 f74 while for the same four months OF last year
the total number OF conveyances was SoV anu 'ne
total amount involved S4l7S.7S II Is extremely
difficult to draw any definite conclusions from
these figures however. as the aggregate Oh nominal
considerations has been large and usually exagser-
ated. and. despite the increase this year IN 'he
total number Of conveyances n careiui sur'e! VI
the situation. including the records OF mortgages
and building operations, leads to the conclusion
that the season has been poorer one than that OF
q year ago. The tendency this year has oeen low
ard trades. nominal transactions ana 'he nset
ton in deeds of greatly exaggerated considerations
and In many the publication OF the Naiua'ioiS
given has done the market more harm IMAM sooo
by preventing the contamination OF safes WHICH
otherwise would have been closed with satisfaction
10 both buyer and seller.
So far last weeks record goes both the to'ai
conveyances and the total amount involved have
fallen far below the totals for the corresponding
week Of last year. This may be accounted TOT IN
part. however. by the holiday on Tuesday, which
tended to interfere with the entire weeks work OF
the brokers The offerings at auction for the last
week were numerous and their character sufhcient-
" varied to suit the purposes OF every class of In
tending buyers Many desirable parcels of improved
property and a large number or lots were dsposeu
Of with results which were far from satisfactory
Several valuable parcels were bid in for the own
ers Withdrawn.
