NEWS AND COMMENT
Trading Slumps for a Day, but
Better Summer Business
Is Expected.
HOUSE AND FLAT SALES

Summer dulness crept into the real
estate trading yesterday Inc caused the
market to take on an appearance OF
slowness which 1t has not had before

nothing Of interest reported yesterday Is
not to be taken as an indication that
business has reached its usual summer
condition, for from all sections reports
are mad that this season is likely to be
an exception to the rule. Brokers say
there is a better investment demand due
to low prices than there has been In sew
eral years. and builders are said to be
ready to proceed with new structures OF
various kinds as fast as the operations
can he financed. There IL no doubt that
better business conditions throughout the
country are being felt here In a greater
demand for space
