FEW SALES OF MORE THAN OR.
 DINAA-Y VALUE MADE.

Real estate was cheered but little during the past week by the progress made in the general market. Sales were few and of but ordinary importance and of low value Few, If any, negotiations were made that exceeded the importance or merited more remark than that generally afforded the ordinary random note.
 Although better times are undoubtedly in store for the near future to crown the patient efforts of the realty brokers In the city in trying to extricate themselves for the past six months from long exist ent stagnation they are slow in coming and the predicted progress IS hardly per ceptible.
 Building operations for the past week were slower than those of the preceding seven days, there being few recorded az gregating a value of over $l0,0oO
 The number and value of mortgages for the past seven days were .noticeabiy smaller than the record for the preced- ceeding a value of Si5,0o The releases and reconveyances were also In a minor ity, there being few given for more than a 5000 value.
