PROGRESSION
IN THE WORLD
OF REALTY
Market characterized
by Dizziness.
BUT FEW LARGE SALES MADE
ANOTHER PREDICTION MADE
FOR THE FUTURE.
A General Review Of the Records,
New Building Contracts, Re
cent Sales and Random
Notes.

The real estate market during the past
week was characterized with little or no
actual progression. In every department
there seemed to be deplorable dearth OF
something to do. There were number
of sales negotiated but these were or
small valuation and, considered as
whole, of little Importance
An improvement, however, IS expected
immediately after election. Many OF the
nrincinal brokers of the city predict an
unusual and encouraging number or sales
and transfers will be made in the latter
part of next or the commencement or
the following week.
Such predictions, however, have long
since failed to carry any weight or con-
fidence to the general public They nave
been made so often, and have circulated
SO frequently during an entire year or
more that there is little or no commence
placed in them as the market never seems
10 undergo the foretold charge Tor the
better 1t seems that every hope is Tor
the future which never seems to come.
Property value the entire city over is at
a standstill and from long continued
stagnation the market threatens to de-
preciate instead of increase in value.
The brokers of the city in their reports
fluctuate in their opinions from evident
and undoubted success one week to abb
solute ruin the next.
The building operations for the past
week and, IN fact, for several weeks past,
have been less in value and extent than
those recorded during the. same period In
the dulleSt summer month.
Mortgages and trust deeds for the past
seven DAYS have been Enthusiastically
in the minority, there being few, II any,
exceeding aggregate value or $l2,O0O.
There was not one release or reconvey-
ance recorded that amounted to more
than an Indifferent value.
