BUILDING-GOsSIP OF REAL
ESTATE WORLD.

Generally speaking there was little
doing in the real estate and building
lines the past week. It was lull
from the storm of activity of the pre-
yious week. There was good de-
fTiafid Tor loans the past week, which
is regarded as an indication that the
midsummer dullness is looking up,
and one agent stated that ne had rea~
son to believe that the fall trade
would start at least a month earlier
this year. and when II did get start
ed would eclipse al previous years
records for activity. The spirit Of
optimism as abroad so far as real ss-
tate Is concerned.
The most Interesting contract let
during the week Was that for the
Chamber of Commerce and Manufac-
turers' Exhibit building. which is to
be erected at Sixth and Main streets.
r. H. Richardson & Sons, of Nor
folk, were the lucky bidders at an
approximate price OF 100000. The
building will be ten stories high. OF
steel and concrete. The top floor
win be occupied by the Chamber of
Commerce and the two lower floors
by manufacturers exhibits.
The real estate exchange will be

Busy With Details.
Real estate men were busy with
details during the week, such as rent
ing and leasing. A number OF them
are taking well-earned vacations,
resting up preparatory to the fal!
rush. The outlook, all Of them say, Is
good. No big deals were turned over
beyond the rumored transfer Of the
Ninth and Main building.

sale of Floyd avenue home for So

the Virginia laws:
