WORK AGAINST
REALTY MARKET
Wet Weather and Agitation for
Dry Legislation Have
Their Effects.
BUSINESS BELOW NORMAL
SEVERAL GOOD DEALS, HOW
EVER, REPORTED FOR WEEK.

The wet weather and the prohibition
agitation together somewhat stunned
the real estate market during the last
week Several good sales were made,
but business was not what it should
have been under normal conditions The
storms also put stop to building OPP
eratfons Indictment weather prevented
the real estate men from taking pros
pective buyers to see property, and thus
delayed the contamination of many
deals. and a large number OF investors,
who have been negotiating for the pur-
chase of property, are said 10 be bold
ing off until the legislature acts de-
cisiveiy on the prohibition measure.
One deal in business property during
the week was that negotiated by Stowe
& Palmer, whereby ]. a. DeBouzek
becomes the owner of eighteen feet on
the south side of Third South, between
State and Second East. Immediately

Doscher about a month ago. Mr.
Doscher paid something in the neigh
borhood of S34, 600 for 100 feet. Mr. De-
Bouzek paid $500 for eighteen feet.
The proposed establishment of a city
market on the block has given a boost
to property interests there. as the eX-
pressed intention of the city council is
10 run street through that block. In
that event Mr. DeBOuzek will be on the
corner OF the new street.

den capitalists of property, at a price
