a little cotton seed oil. All ingredi-

IMPROVEMENT SHOWN
 IN REALTY MARKET.
Business Picks Up the Past Week on Sales Locally and About State.

There were ten sales of real estate the past week in Norwich, compared with three year ago the same week. Mortgage loans amounted to S15,542, while a year ago the total was S27,4sl
 Sales of real estate in the towns re- ported in the Commercial Record for the week are well in advance of the record made in the like week of a year ago. the total for the week being 40l, which compares with 3l5 last year. The mortgage loans for the week amounted to S235T1ST, which com paTes with %46.4S0 for the previous year.
 The record of petitions in bankruptcy filed in this state during the week compares unfavorably with the same week of late years. The four bank rupts have average assets of S1195, and liabilities of $3,488
 Ten joint stock companies with av- craze capitalization of S21,S have been incorporated during the week, which is somewhat behind the record made for the corresponding weeks of 1910 and 1912.
