REAL ESTATE MARKET STEADY AND ACTIVE

@HE real estate market was steady
and active last week. There was
no great rise in values anywhere
In the city, but dealers say that the
inquiry of the early spring is main
tanned and increased to a slight ex-
tent Sales are not pronounced in any
specific quarter, but are again dis
tributed almost as widely as those Of
the previous week.
Two sections of the city were rather
more favored than in the earlier weeks
of the season. These are Dayton's
bluff and st. Anthony hill, in both Of
which sections a number of small
transactions at fair prices were report

month to twice as much. If these
houses are carefully built and equipped
with everything modern in the way of
conveniences they would be contracted
for before the walls were up, and If
am any judge the man who has the
nerve to go into this class of building
operations will profit heavily before

st. Paul real estate, according to the
mass of the dealers, is the cheapest
thing for sale anywhere at present
prices.

during the week" said a well known
broker. but in point of number the
sales OF the week are eighteen more
than the corresponding week last year
and four more than the preceding
week. This is the condition we are
trying to perpetuate. and If the growth
can be maintained at about that rate
during the summer, real estate busi-
ness will be far better than il there
was wild boom and tremendous
speculation
Il have no fault TO find with the nu-
merous speculative trades that are be-
ginning to be made this season; in fact,
they are a good thing. and as nearly as
anything can they foreshadow coming
activity in lands. Everyone knows or
ought TO know that lands bought close

would unquestionably curtail- sales un-
less something like a commercial revo-

Something between the dead level
Of former years and boom is the ideal
condition for St Paul real estate, and
from all indications that is to be the
condition this year.
Brokers and dealers generally take a
similar view to that of Mr.. Wheeler.
They report the inquiry slightly
stronger than during the previous
week. and the sales, while small in
the one matter of individual size, to
be large and satisfactory in the aggre-
gate.
There were no large sales closed

ed some activity, but there was no ap-
preciable advance in prices from the
former level.
Business is very fair" said Rush B.
wheeler, treasurer Of the Real Estate
Exchange. April is generally good for
St Paul land transactions if any
month is. and this year. when consid-
erable amounts of real estate are
changing hands, 1t is good of course.
The general character of the in
quiry from bonafide buyers is one OF
the most pleasing features of the mar

led to greatly increased sales this year.
"St Paul land values have been de-
