REALTY ME|V PREDICT
BIC FALL BUSINESS
Say Indications Point to Sea
son of Brisk Trading After
Hot Weather.

Inspired by the extraordinary man
ner in which the summer market con-
tinues to hold firm, despite the on
slaught of hot weather and the general
lethargy that is usual to business at
this season, real estate dealers, almost
without exception unite in predicting
for Salt Lako this fall one of the
biggest business revivals in the history
Of the city.
Never before, they insist, has the
market borne up through the summer
months with so little falling off In
regular trade as it has done this year.
Coupling this condition with the large
building operations throughout the city,
the prospects for unprecedented grain
crops in the city's tributary territory,
the assurance Of fruit crop IN Utah
more than twice as great as that Of
any previous year and the rapidly in
creasing number Of Inquiries from out
side investors, the real estate men see
nothing but unstinted prosperity ahead.
Another Third South Deal
In more ways than one this predic-
ton already is being justified, all deal
ers reporting an increasing trade In
homes, building lots and suburban prop
erty, with several deals OF considerab BILE
magnitude thrown in for good meas
ure-
Before the ensuing week is over an
other deal in Third South street prop
erty, running close to $4,000, will be
completed and another retail house will
have cast the die in favor Of the re-
tail district which is rapidly develop
ing along that street, The details of this
transaction are being withheld for the
present, pending the winding up Of In
cidental matters.
Dealers In suburban property found
the past week profitable to a high
degree. The sale of lots in the popu-
lar subdivisions OF the southeast con-
tinued in even larger volume than that
Of the early summer weeks, there be-.
ing q marked tendency on the part Of
home builders to seek that portion Of
the city's envlrons.
Fruit and Farm Lands.
Near-lying farm and fruit lands are
In demand, little more so than usual,
the excellent crop outlook having stim-
ulated this feature of the market.
The business district is' said to be
moving towards several important trans
ico VI PiopciCy, thoupu yeI INC neSo-
tiations have not progressed to def.
mite stage. Upper Main street in par
ticular is the object of number of big
investors who are now in the market.
An important item in the field Of
building operations during the week
was the letting Of the contract for
the reconstruction Of the old Freed
Furniture store on Third South street
at a cost Of $4,000, The Paris Millin.
