n all OF the worthwhile activity OF the
local real estate market-expressed In
transactions Of more than ordinary I'M
portance-could he recorded on this
page a story would be told of revival
equalins the hopes Of leaders in the
yealty world From reports to be had
on every side there remains little doubt
that the tide has turned toward real es-
tate investment and that considerable
money is seeking placement here in
substantial propositions. Within a few
days. as soon as certain mortgage de-
tails have been arranged and matters
regarding titles, some OF these deals will
be announced. Then IL will be found
that while large interests have not been
active in the local market for many
months. they have not beeh asleep 10 the
opportunities Il offers. Some of the
most important sections of the city will
be affected by transactions closed dur
ing the last few days and the reports
will show an interest in real estate on
the part OF investors, concerns which
have purchased for business uses, build
ers who will improve. and individuals
who have bought city homes. Perhaps
the most interesting feature of these
transactions Is the fact that they repre-
sent the return Of substantial sums OF
real money to the real estate field. For
several years past business has been
done on practically a trading basis. Such
business will continue without doubt, but
trading will be supplemented. according
TO all indications. by large volume OF
cash business. on which the limited mort
gage m trket will have little effect.
Selling through residential sections
was fairly active. Proof OF the oppor-
tunities existing in this market was fur
nished through the sale OF the dwelling
at 80 East Sixty-first street This is the
fourth sale Of the house in a very short
time. Other dwellings In that section
are the subject of negotiations which
are expected to result in sales before the
