THE WEEK IN REALTY.
THE CAUSES OF THE PRESENT Dull

The slow market last weak mainly due 10
two things. One that most of the opera tors
ana investors getting their business affairs in
such shape to be able to take long vacation
soon These operators and investors are inactive
figures just at present in the market. The other
principal for the duness Of the market is the
fact that the asking price for many parcels for
which there is good demand is too hign In MANY
cases the asking prices greatly in excess of the
valuation OF the property.
Tribune reporter had talk few days ago
with a number of persons who are seeking TO buy
at reasonab bic prices. These persons are nearly
worn out trying TO show the people whose prop-
critics they are negotiating to buy that the asking
