REALTY MEN CLOSE
lO8 SALES IN WEEK
Trading Shows Decline From
First Seven Days of Month.
Rally Expected Soon.

There were twenty-three transactions
in real estate on Friday, November Is.
Despite this unusual combination, the
day was one of the busiest of a rather
poor week of realty trading. During
the past six days the brokers closed only
Jos sales. in which we're involved 173
lots and parcels of real estate.
Thursdays selling was tied with the
activity of yesterday. Tuesday ranked
third. with twenty-one trades effected.
followed closely by Monday. with nine
teen deals. There were twelve sales
completed on the half holiday Of Satur-
day, and Wednesday saw ony ten deeds
recorded
The trading of the second week of
November shows a sharp decline from
the activity of the initial week Of the
month. The number Of sales fell off
twenty-five trades from the record of
the preceding week. A comparison
with the activity Of the corresponding
week Of 1918 discloses a still greater de-
cline. AS the brokers effected 146 trans
actions in the week ending November Is,
1913. The brokers seem unable to give
a satisfactory reason for the inactivity
Of the week. hut look on the situation as
which the market is expected to rally
early next week.
Stamp Tax Next Month.
The Inauguration of the war tax
stamps on conveyances Of land on De-
cember ] is expected to cause the re-
corfiins of a number of sales during the
closing days of November. If the expert
ence of the Recorders office in 1895,
when the Spanish war tax became ope-
rativt, is to be duplicated. So many
deals that we're in progress then were
closed that on June 30, 1s9S-the last
day for free deeds-there were recorded
1e9 papers. This number for q days
total of recordation set a record UP to
that time, which has only once been
surpassed.
The duty of seeing that the deeds Of
fered for record are properly stamped
is placed by the law on the person re-
cording them. Acting Recorder Dutton
has taken counsel of United states At
torney Laskey. and has been advised
that the recording officers duty is COM
plete when he calls attention Of the
person presenting the deed for record to
the absence Of stamps. The Recorder
will not pass Judgment OF the proposf-
tion of what paper must be stamped
and which ones are exempted by law.
Near-Urban District Leads.
The zone of activity this week moved
nearer to- the old city limits. and the
outlying suburbs were crowded out OF
first place in the weeks trading. In
the near-urban district, sixty lots
changed owners. The northwest also
passed the suburbs, having forty-four
lots transferred to forty-two parcels
sold in the outlying suburbs. There
were eleven lots conveyed in the south
east, nine In the northeast, and seven
in the southwest.
