Mr. Reeves entertainment that has made
the title. THE Beauty Show" mean all

ANOTHER DULL
WEEK IN REAL
ESTATE LINE

Local real estate dealers report
that the realty market during the
past week has been exceptionally
dull. Beyond a few small house
and-lot transfers, the market has
been practically at a s~tandstill. Pros
poets for the coming week, however,
are bright, they say.
Like the rise and fall in other
pursuits, the real estate business al
ternately becomes brisk and slack.
For the past few weeks property
sales and transactions have been
comparatively few. Several large
deals are on hand, however, and the
realty men expect to be kept on the
60.
Ward B. Snyder, during the past
week, sold to Harry Segal a lot on
Amboy avenue upon which the latter
will establish an up-to-date clothing
store. The sale was effected through
the Adolph Nielsen agency.
Joseph Sisko has purchased from
Edward Nelson a house and lot at
$50 Brace avenue, and Peter Larson
bought a brick and terra Gotta resi-
dence on Sheridan street. Less than
a dozen transfers were recorded at
the Office Of the collector of revenue.
