REALTY MARKET
CONTINUES BUlLISH

The feature of the realty market for
the week continues to be state street
and Calumet avenue business property.
As a result there has been a large in
crease in prizes.
With the real estate men Of Ham
mond it is not 50 much d question Of
securing buyers for property on these
streets so much it is a question of
securing the property to sell them.
The 100000 worth eli deals that
were announced last week are being
closed up now. Others are being nego-
tiated The activity in this property
IS expected TO cease. however. untll the
owners become more reasonable in
their prices.
one Of the developments on Calumet
avenue is the fact that there will be
over 500 feet of two-story business
blocks erected on the street next
spring.
This means that Calumet avenue VIII
come to be the most important bust
ness street in the city outside Of state
and Holman streets II is further
worthy of note that the activity in the
vicinity Of state and Sibley streets on
Calumet avenue definitely and positive
" fines that portion of the street as
the future business center of Calumet
avenue
The real harvest in Calumet avenue
property is expected when the work OF
the Schlesinger Steel co. begins and
thousands OF men are employed there
only the uncertainty a TO the actual
! date of the commencement of opera
tions prevents a boom.
The fact is commented upon that the
nearness of national election seems
to have positively no effect on the real
ty market. This is due to the fact thai
there are reasons enough Tor the ac-
