THE REAL
ESTATE MARKET
Approaching Holidays Have
Effect Of Decreasing
the Trade

Fewer real estate transfers have been
made during the past week than for
several months. but this is nothing UNI
usual and in fact the slump was ex-
pected by the real estate men dealing
In the local market. The near approach
of the holidays Is the direct cause for
the falling off and Il Is expected Il VIII
so even lower during the next two
weeks. However. the previous months
were sufficiently brisk to tide the deal
ers over the dun season.
one Of the largest undertakings In
the way OF building In this city has
been lnaugurated at Maryland avenue
and Oak streets, where the Reinforced
Concrete Construction Company OF
Cleveland Ohio, has been granted a
permit by Building Inspector Connolly
to build a new plant for the American
Vulcanized Fibre Company at a cost or
nearly $4,000. This viii be a great ad-
dition 90 the Eleventh ward and viii
bring that section Of the city up TO
business standing with the other por-
tons more thickly settled by the
manufacturing plants
Practically an the exterior work on
the DUPONT building at Tenth and
Market streets having been completed,
the workmen are now busily engaged
in fitting Up the interior. The officials
Of the bic powder company want TO get
into the building as soon as possible
and it IS more than probable those Of
fees fitted up first win be occupied be-
fore the remainder are finished.
7 No section Of the city is advancing
as rapidly as that part along Fourth
street west Of Broome At the present
time there are more houses IN course
of construction I'm that locality than in
any other part OF the city. All the
houses are convenient and OF a COM
Portable size and have been taken by
renters or purchased long before they
were completed. West Fourth street
Is rapidly becoming one Of the most
desirable residential sections ~ fhe
city for persons Of moderate means.
