To be perfectly frank about the

a deal amounting to $50, 900 tomor-
row. but taking the situation by and
large II is not as bright as 1t might
be.
One Of the Oldest and best known
real estate men in Richmond re-
marked Yesterday that he had never
seen a quIeter period than the pres
ent in his business career. The pend

brought about an unusual tightness In
the money market. is believed to have
had a good deal to do with the situa-
tion-fust why, though. no Richmond
real estate man could tell YOU. Any
how. 1t is distressingly quiet.
Lots IN the new subdivisions-Ro

sales are being made for the most
part to home builders who contam
