SALES DAY AN IMPROVEMENT.
A Little More Interest Taken in the
transactions Than Last Month.

transactions Than Last Month.
Quite a large crowd greeted the auc-
tioneers at the court house at IL o'clock
yesterday. At the previous sales days in
February and March the attendance was
small and the bidding without spirit. Yes
terday. however. there was a large turn
out of capitalists drawn there by an at
tractive list of offerings. The sales day
is generally considered a sort of barom-
eter of the real estate market, and if
correctly so. then there must be an I'M
proved feeling. There were several sales
made and the bidding was lively, and
altogether the crowd seemed not inclined
to be pessimistic. OF course, the auc-
tioneers say that the prices obtained were
mot what they ought TO be-" but conserv-
alive judges seem to think, that when the
circumstances surrounding each sale are
understood, the prices obtained were
fair and encouraging. The sales below
are as reported. 1t is understood that one
party did not report his sales, because
not fully consummated.
Mr.. John Mclaughlin sold twenty-eight
shares of the capital stock of the Savan-
nah Crystal Ice Company TO Mr.. T. Hai-
ligan at $2S per share, the par value being
500. He also sold under a trustees deed
six houses and lots on Wheaton street to
John Nicolson, ST., for $50 the sale be-
ing to satisfy mortgage made by John
