Trade in real estate circles in omaha
CONTINUED dull during the past week. as
It has for the last two months. Scarcely
anything of any moment except the special
meeting of the Real Estate exchange
transplred, and the long expected boom
in trade, which was scheduled to occur
last week OF the week before, fell through.
An echo OF the entertainment OF the real
estate dealers who passed through here
in July while on their way to Denver was
heard last week at the meeting Of the
exchange, when Secretary Harry Turkey
read two letters from the Winnipeg and
Duluth exchanges. thanking the local
Dealers for their hospitality during the
short STAY in the city Of the visitors.
These last two letters make the sixth re-
ceved from the various real estate as
saa4ciations whose members were entertained
here. and Turkey expects many more In
the next month, as several eastern ex-
changes hold only monthly meetings and
adjourn for the summer
At the special meeting Wednesday It
was announced that the Real Estate eN-
change would resume the Practice of hold
ing weekly meetings beginning next
Wednesday. Two weeks ago the exchange
adjourned, as it was not thought worth
while 60 hold meetings because the intense
heat caused many members - leave the
city, and the attendance at the meetings
was exceedingly small.
The firm of A. Z. Turkey and Son re-
port that the estate OF the late George b.
Tzschuck is being sold with much more
rapidity than has been exhibited in the

Omaha or vicinity in the last five months.

I was divided up by the heirs and placed
on sale. and already the choicest parts
