what must be recorded as the duietest
week in -ealty since the first of the wear
mas Just closed. Just what is the reason
Tor this as not evident. and the sugges-
ton that spring fever and the races
nave exercised baneful influence is moi
quite satisfactory to many dealers
Many good deals are under WAY bu-
none Of any consequence have been an
nounced.
Nevertheless. there has been a fair
volume OF home buying, probably more
than the announcements would indicate
Tor many brokers are reticent about
telling the public about their smaller
transactions, and many home buyers
object to the practice.
Little new has been announced in
building. The one good building item Of
the week was the announcement of the
award for the construction OF the new
nome of the Bureau OF American Re
puDlics to NOrcross Bros. This will put
under construction another large public
building that will well assist in sustain
ing building activity through the sum-
mer. The building will in itself cost
about $500
