REALTY TRADING
GROWS ACTIVE
MORE BIG DEALS ON HILL AND
CLOSE-IN STREETS
Negotiations Pending for Million-Dol-
lar Transactions Below Sixth
Street-ReneWal of Build
ing Activity in Tracts

transactions during the past week in
TIE realty field, both for business and
tract property, indicates a marked inn
provement over the past month. Agencie
are more active and inquiries by in
vestors and home builders are more
numerous, with the result that many
important deals have been closed.
greatest activity has been down Hill
street and on crosstown streets in the
close in section. A number of the more
important sales are noted elsewhere in
these columns, but there are many
more big deals to be recorded in the
near future, so say several of the realty
agencies wEo give attention only to
larger transactions in Los Angeles dirt.
There is also noted renewed activity
in building operations in many of the
growing sections. This condition, which
is most satisfactory, is due largely TO
the slight reduction in the price of
material, and also ION account of better
opportunities to obtain money to meet
demands. Local capital is not difficult
to secure when approved security is
presented.
Contractors state that there is to be
another rushing time in the line of
builGing. They have begun to feel the
pressure and they are prepared to meet
all reasonable requirements. 1t is be-
lieved that the heavy rainy season is
at an end, and that new work planned
for the business districts will be started
without further delay. Excavations will
soon begin. for big buildings, and in the
various outlying tracts hundreds of new
homes will spring up as if by magic.
