GOOD REALITY BUSINESS.
The real estate market has assumed
n more lively phase, The stormy week
has held IL back some but there have
been number Of slzeable transactions,
ard transfers that were made during
the winter, but for business reasons
rot recorded, are now being entered on
the hooks. One Of these was the sale OF
r n Gift to Aaron Keyser of $4,000
al EnuTtb Sntith
street near Main; and another was that
of the Metropolitan hotel corner. sold
Iast December. from judge IIallett to
2. Pomeroy of Los Angeles for Sl06,-
mn A third was the sale of $4,000
worth of property at West Temple and
Market streets, made some little time
ago.
Real estate men and real estate own
ora often find It to their advantage to
nravent sales being known for some
ll,tle time after the actual transfer.
and they are therefore kept from the
nuhllc and held back from record until
such times as suits the parties interest
"a Dealers all speak hopefully of the
Immediate future. and at their weekly
meetings and luncheons the talk, aim
and purpose Is to use every means
within reach to advertise the town from
a business standpoint, and IL they have
not the means. To get means anyhow,
I, goes without saving that Salt Lake
has ms lively and enterprising lot OF
real estate dealers as any town In the
country Just AZ soon as more pleasant
weather comes and the ground dries
M. they win be out and doing, and
don't propose to be outdone by any
body.

for complaint The jobbers and whole
sslcrs find II difficult 20 secure deliver
ies from eastern manufacturers as the
latter have been bIest with so much
prosperity that they have become very
independent and receive orders subject

very annoying.
The clothing trade has been affect

ing Of sales of spring goods, but IL

of lending an impetus TO the dispcsi-
tion Of what remains OF the winter
