CONDITION IN THE COUNTRY
CITY SALES FEW AND DECIDED
LY SMALL IN VALUE.

There was little business of any value
transacted in the realty market during
the past week. Sales were few and of mi
nor Importance. 1t is expected, however,
that during the coming week decided
change for the better will take place. AL
ready many transactions have been out
lined and negotiations are expected to be
completed within the next few days.
Notwithstanding the general improve
ment in city property after months of
continual business stagnation, progression
and improvement in the country seems to
have outdistanced entirely that of the
city. Outside sales are more frequent and
of greater value proportionately.
Building operations in the local market
are anything but extensive, there being
few contracts let and these Of small value.
