Season Here 4gan

The private transactions reported last week in
clpeed a number OF important leases and one DIG
Fifth avenue sale. Not one of the large deals
however was of the spectacular type and for that
reason the small volume OF business transacted

prospective buyers Of lots, hathouses or apart
rnent houses but the sluggish market for all KINDS
OF parcels is not causing any uneasiness among the
realty leaders as this is the dulest time of the
year for realty deals. Most brokers are busy rent
ing hathouses and apartment houses and they e2-
pect 20 report fewer vacancies the coming taIl IN
such structures than they did last fall
