Lively Interest in the Real Estate
Market.
Thirty-eight lots in Collinsville, en- New
Houston, Duffy Henry and Anderson
streets were sold to homeseekers and in
vest0rs by Auctioneer John L. Archer
yesterday afternoon. There was quite a
large crowd of purchasers and spectators
out to witness the sale, and the bidding
for nearly all of the lois was spirited.
For some, in the more select locations, or
what was considered so, and when partic-
ular lots were desired by several bidders
for particular reasons. there was an eager
rivalry to get them.
The land brought remunerative prices,
though The prices for the majority of the
lots were not thought to be high, and
were certainly less than the same lots
brought some few years ago The fact
that the lots were sold in such number
and that the bidding was at all times rapid
evidenced the truth that real estate in
the sections adjacent to the present resi-
dence portions of the city is considered
a good investment, and that there is a
healthy and well-sustajned demand for
It in almost any reasonable quantities.
The first lots sold are on the south side
of New, Houston street, between OFT
street and Waters road. There were FIVE
lots with a frontage of so feet and depth
of ll6 feet. in this plat and they were sold

Meyer for 800. The Fast lot adjoins the
residence of MIR. Meyer, and was other
wise desirable. so that 1t brought more,
| and the bidding for it was more eager,
| and sustained than il was for the others
/ in the same block that would seem To
