The real-estate transfers fled IN the re-
corder's Office last week showed no activ-
fly I'm the real-estate market, but realizes
tate men say there is a better feeling In
all quarters. For several weeks the records
show a dull market, but this does not al
ways indicate that no business is being
done. Almost without exception a large
deal is suppressed Cor reasons known TO the
purchaser until he sees fit to make ii pub
lie. Last week there were several big trans
actions in real estate. but the transfers Will
not be made public. This accounts for the
report that business IS not so dull as the
records indicate.
