 during the past week was slightly better than the preceding, and indications now polnt concluSively to the certainty that decided change for the better will be de- Veloped before the expiration of the pres ent month. The salvation of the crops in the country is expected to create salu- ' tary influence in the world of realty both in the city and country markets The un- certainty and continual abeyance of the farmers as to Whether their yearly ef- forts were to be rewarded with a fair compensation or absolute failure, which meant in the latter case the non-payment or mortgages and virtual ruin, kept the real estate current in a state of sluggish ness and at a manifesty low ebb
 Such condition of country property yCoupled with the bygone impression that ' the war was going to materially depreci- ate the value of city property, inspired investors with the fear that to risk even a small bargain was extremely hazard ous, as property value Of any kind was liable to fall far below a realization of it's cost immediately after purchase. Since the advent of rain, however, and the con- sequenu revivifcation of the crops, a de- cided improvement is manifest, and one that will immediately show itself in the city, but more particularly in the country.
 Two large sales of more than l-.ssing importance were negotiated within rhe last few days-one in the wholesale dis triCJ on Market street and the other in the manufacturing district south of the same street. The former Is located at 565 and 567 Market street. and comprises portion of the Tam estate.
