d" OOTBALL games and turkey din
ners received rather more attention
from the. public during the past
week than real estate transactions,
- but this was to be expected. and
the brokers are more than satisfied
with the situation. No exceptionally
large sales have been reported during the
closing week OF November, and those best
informed on the subject say that no large
sales should be looked for now until after
the holidays. This is of course by no
means prophecy and the prediction may
be upset before the end of the coming
week, as II is known that several big
deals are being negotiated and are liable
TO be consummated any day. Still the
market is usually quiet during the holi-
day period and there appears to be no
special reason why an exception should
be noted this year.

The report that the two fifty-vara lots

down however, and II is asserted that
whoever the present holder may be the
property will soon be numbered among
the assets of the railroad.
