tract were reported yesterday and the day was
fairly satisfactory from the brokers view
point the greater interest was manifested in
the sale-conducted by Auctioneer Ryan-of
the Cammann estate property on University
Heights. 1t required more than four hours to
conclude the sale. but every one OF the $50
Nots was sold and the prices were good II
is seldom that the old auction room Ia
90 crowded as 1t was yesterday. and the
interest in the sale was as intense at the end
rs at the opening. From every point OF view
the sale was one Of the most successful held
this year, due in great part to the fact that the
pale was unprotected and was absolute not
only In name but in fact. The bidders were
confident that they we're not working against
any OF tho various interests connected with the
estate. and their bids came all the more freely
because OF this confidence.
