MANY SALES NEGOTIATED
A COMPLETE CHANGE FOR THE
 BETTER PREDICTED.

Real estate is still slowly and gradually improving and conditions now point 10 the certainty that before the present year is over the market will have gradually evolved from the long existent stagnation which has characterized and impeded it's progress for year or more and enter on a new era of prosperity.
 In every department there is marked indication of a gradual change for the better Sales are becoming more numer- ous, and, although not as yet or unusuai value, still are of valuation which brings encouragement to brokers inasmuch as 1t is continually increasing on new nego> tiations.
 The general idea that, unless large sales are being made continually. the market must necessarily be deprectating IS er- roneous. As long as there is steady business animation or life realty will be considered in a good condition
 This fact is being more fully realized as the number of medium sales continue to increase daily. Property owners who have been so backward and timid in both buying and selling are becoming satshed that the world of realty IS steadily ad- vancing to a condition of life and pro- gross. It Is claimed that as soon as prop erty holders become confident and fully convinced of the. advancing eneour- aging conditions of the market real es- tate will find a ready market and a good price.
 The building operations throughout the city, although not very extensive, still indicate by their increasing number an evident improvement on the records for the previous week. Advance in this de- stricted to any one section or individual district of the city.
