REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS
REAL estate MORTGAGES
BUILDING PERMITS

THE market during the week showed a
slight gain over the previous week.
but dealers are not greatly pleased
with the outlook or with the amount Of
business transacted. Considering the time
of the year and the recent very favorable
weather, an unusual stir was expected,
and that it has failed to materialiZe has
proved a great disappointment and dis
cOuragement to many. And it is appar-
emily hard condition to account for. But
when it is considered that the season is
backward in every respect it is not to be
wondered at that the real estate business
is also backward Cold weather continued
until a very late day, and the warm
weather came very suddenly, and, it must
be remembered, very recently. There is
always a great deal of work to be done
about house with the arrival of warm
weather every year. and householders are
still busy with those tasks. Moving,
which is usually at it's height during the
week of May 1, and almost over by May 5,
is still in full blast We think therefore,
that real estate men are overanxious,
merely. and will find the year 1904 the
best year since boom days"
The number of real estate transfers for
last week showed a slight increase over
the previous week, but the considerations
involved fell off considerably. The prin-

In the district lying between St Paul
and Minneapolis there is no section Of
greater Importance none that Is doing
more toward making the Twin Cities one,
than st. Anthony Park. This suburb is
considered almost ideal as a business or
residence location, and presents itself for
consideration in two ways, as manufac-
turing center and as residence district,
and in both respects it is equally attrac-
tive to St. Paul and Minneapolis citizens.
The manufacturing industries in st.
Anthony Park are confined entirely to the
southeastern part, lying adjacent to the
yards of the Minnesota Transfer company,
from which there extends to the manufac-
turing district several spur tracks, on
which the large number of manufacturing
establishments In st. Anthony Park are
located. The principal and exclusive adj
vantage which st. Anthony Park possesses
above all other manufa curing districts in
the two cities comes from this connection
with the Minnesota Transfer. which en-
ables the concerns there located to Sc
cure free switching to any one of the diff
