THERE Is very little activity in the
real estate market. No sales of mag
nitude are being made and none such
are in sight; Notwithstanding the
claims Of a certain class of brokers that
they have a number of good things on the
tapis. They always talk that way, but
very few of these more or less mythical
transactions ever materialize. However,
there is really no cause for apprehension
as to the future, as it is conceded by all
responsible brokers that this is the dull
season and until people begin to return
to town from their summer vacations
there is not likely to be much doing.
There is general feeling among realty
men that the electric road along Sansome

of the granting of the franchise, has al
ready begun to lay tracks on that thor
