Dnit win front-A Large Number OF
Property Transfers During the Week.
After this week real estate agents will
settle down TO the regular routine of
business, ms those families who have TO
move will be in their new homes bv Tues
day, tomorrow being March 25th, the
legal moving day, there will he many
who will wait until Monday TO make the
change. As whole, the number OF
changes will bo less this year than for
many years, which is due to the scarcity
OF desirable dwellings.
For the current week the market, as
far as sales are concerned, has been un-
usually dull. Some real estate agents
however, are waiting until after March
25th to announce their sales. Il is well
known that the market has been more
active IN regard to sales since January
lst than ever before, which is principally
due to the scarcity of houses for rent
and therefore the agents will probably
announce large number OF sales that
Will have been conaummated by next
week.
The most important feature of the real
estate market at the present time is the
large number OF large operations to be
put through this spring The number
ot dwellings to be erected seems to be
comparatively few, as it is claimed by
contractors that they can not build
dwellings TO either rent or sell with
reasonable profit.

been started or will be started this spring
are the following du Pont Powder Co
