weather conditions have tremendous
depressing effect upon business in gem
eral dealing I'm real estate for the
week just ended has been quiet at
all the offices. A disturbing element or
this nature works most unfavorably

lance have como to q head this week

Notable among them are the S49.000
purchase OF J. K. Mullen the $4,000

chase and the Sharman Auto com

suspended only for a day or two on
account OF the snowstorms, while the
interior work went steadily on Every
body is hoping for the early advent OF
spring, when a brisk business will bo
ushercd in, and probably continue well
into the heated term of summer.
