With the arrival of July the spring sea
son in real estate passes. Looking back
upon it. 1t may be said that considering
the Influences that have tended to retard
activity, it has been satisfactory with a
majority of dealers. The late winter, fol-
lowed by much inclement weather, pre-
vented q brisk business. This in itself
ward. but when it occurred during a
presidential election year. a great deal
could not be expected.
A political campaign, especially pres
market backward, but, nevertheless, there
have been some bright spots during the
season. The city has been in too healthy
a condition, in every way to entirely par
alyze the business From now on ev--
erything will undoubtedly be slow until
after election. The situation at the OPEN
ing of the slack summer season is sized
up as follows by a prominent dealer:
People are rather hanging on to their
property and, in all probability, viii not
loosen up until after the president is in
alIQI1ra fed next March
The business of the country is not ex-
actly at a standstill, but there is a hesi-
fancy about doing anything. big that
deals.
"The approaching election does not
seem to have retarded building activity
not to any noticeable extent. In nearly
all of the large cities there have been
large gains over last year Should the
year, and there need be small fear that
they will not, 1905 is bound tc be record
breaker
