In Real Estate Circles.

To an outsider it would not seem
possible that there could be any de-
mand for real estate this kind OF
weather. There is, however. and the
dealers in dirt report numerous in
ouiries, not only for improved property
but for vacant lots for building pur-
poses.
The recent boom in stocks the realty
men claim will have the effect of max
ing good market as those who cleaned
up or stocks want something more
stable to invest in. and naturally viii
turn to real property as the safest in
Vestment
The proposed new market place in an
indirect way Will. it is claimed push
forward the price CT realty, not so much
in the Immediate vicinity OF the mar
lxet, hCt in causing a demand for tracts
of land near the city fer market gard
eners and farmers For years St. Paul
has had no suitable market, and as
result hundreds of farmers ard mar
ket gardeners in the vicinity of St
Paul have turned their attention to
other interests. With a large and CO.
modiouS market in the city and the
same oIerated in a buSinesSlike man
ner il is predicted that not only will
the market gardeners cultivate more
land, but there will be an increased
demand for suitable tracts. The retail
trade will also get the benefits of the
money paid to the farmers and
gardeners for produce and rents in the
vicinity of the market will be given
boom.
The inquiry for property does not
seem to be confined to any particular
part of the city. the prospective pur-
ChaserS being anxious to secure bar
gain without reference to the exact
location. There is an increased demand
noted fol farm property within a short
distance of St. Paul, and this demand
comes from people who have been for
the past few years endeavoring to farm
II in South Dakota and Northern Iowa
o. E. Dodge. in speaking of this de-
mand said: Il have had many inquir-
les as to farm lands in Minnesota and
particularly from men who have been
engaged in farming in South Dakota
A number of farmers from that state

Mr.. Dodge was confident that a good
business would be done in real prop
erty this spring, not only in outside
tracts. but in civ nrOnprtu
William F. Moritz-The inquiry and
demand for houses and vacant citv
property is increasing. The purchasers
are anxious to secure lots and build
MONIES for themselves. From the plans
which have been submitted to me It r.
safe to predict that every mechanic
mat wants work this spring will have

witness building boom such as ST.
Paul has not seen in several years. The

increase in values will come slow, for
the reason that snaps are being picked
| up first, but there will be a good adj
varce all along the line during the
present year. What surprises me is
the inquiry made by people who are
not supposed to have money and are
looking to invest from $1,000 to $4,000
in home. This idea of securing a
home is brought by the prevailing high
rents and the man who has money to
invest sees a chance to save conSid-
cradle by having a home of his own.
While the value of Zeal estate has in
the past few years dropped from two
thirds to three-fourths of what it used
to be. the rents have only dropped from
twenty-five to thirty per cent. With
the pre- sent cold weather it is surpris-
ing the number of people who are look
ing for investments, and more sales
have been made than ever before at
this time of year.
Andrew Stolpestad-The demand for
real estate is improving and as soon as
the weather clears up there will be an
increased demand. The inquiries are
for lots for homes and farm property.
| closed a contract during the present
week for a 100 acre tract about five
miles from the city for 1920. There
is quite a demand for small farming
tracts within a short distance Of the
city. The inquiry for city property Is
also good.
w. c. Read-There is a noticeable in
crease in both inquiry and demands for
property. Letters coming from the
East are received daily inquifing as to
| investments in and about the city. The
boom in stocks has had a good effect
and the result will be that money will
be put into real estate as being safer
and paying better interest. l look for
an exceedingly good year.
Mr.. Bayard, of Bayard & Deuel-The
indications are that there will be
brisk movement in realty this spring.
1t is little early yet. but there is al
| ready much inquiry. The market is in
no sense "a speculative one, those max
ing inquiry looking for vacant lots on
which to build and snaps in the way of
improved pieces. The new market will
have a tendency to help out the retail
trade, not only in the immediate vicin-
ity of the market place, but all around
as the farmers and gardeners who now
sell their products in Minneapolis and
spend their money there will purchase
in st. Paul.
The proposed new public library Is to
be erected In the near future and the
site is being discussed by the realty
dealers. One Of the most prominent
ones in speaking Of the matter yester-
day suggested that the Kittson prop
erty on Summit between Selby and
Dayton avenues, would be an ideal spot
for the new library. The property could
be secured for about $4,000, and aside
from its being the cheapest site that
could be purchased 1t would be of great
advantage as g. building such as it was
intended to erect could be seen from
all parts Of the city and would attract
attention from all visitors.
The building inspector issued permits
as follows:
M. D. Carroll, to erect double two
story dwelling house on Winnifred
street, $500.
G. Dahley. dwelling house on Jessa-
mine street. $1,000.
