yesterday afternoon. In several eases
agreements TO purchase certain speci-
fled properties have been made be-
tween dealer and prospective purch-
aser and the agent has gotten busy
with the owner Prices offered were
lower than those asked and upon
bringing owner and purchaser to-
gether on price and terms depends the
conclusion or negotiations
: There appeared a new activity in
Richmond realty during@the week Just
ended. Before the close Of the year
a number Of notable deals were put
through Among them was one in
which the consideration was in the
neighborhood of 100000. Immedi-
ately after tho beginning of the new
year. on New Years Day, in fact, j. A.
Connolly d Co. put through a sale of
n three hunored-acre farm in Prince
