A General Review of the Records, Building Contracts, Recent Sales and Realty
 Notes.

Real estate is still being generally characterized by a steady progression, and. the universal opinion of realty ,brok- CTS Is that prosperous times are not far distant. They predict that rapid and complete evolution from the long existent stagnation of the market to a business life of animation Is steadily being. under gone, which fact is considerably strength ened by comparison of the market of to-day and that of a month or SO ago. Every week bring its surprises. Trans fers and sales of uncommon value are being negotiated frequently and almost weekly through the agency of the city brokers, and. transactions of almost equal; importance are being negotiated in the country.
 Large sales in real estate seem to be- come more frequent as time passes. One of the largest sales recorded in months was recently negotiated by A. M. Speck in the interest of the Nolan estate, and comprised the property situated at the Junction of Market, Mason and Turk streets. Under the then stagnant con- dition of the market the sale, which netted $50 0U, came surprise to local brokers, who welcomed 1t as the com mencement of an era of prosperity. This immediate supposIrion that the market would be characterized by rapid progress sion as natural consequence of the sale has been furthered by the recording of
