BIG SLUMP SHOWN
IN REALTY SALES
TRANSFERS FIRST TWO MONTHS
YEAR SHOW FALLING OFF OF
MILLION DOLLARS.

With the figures for the realty trans
fers for March incomplete, the sales
of Maury county real estate during the
first two months of 1921 showed a fall
ing off of more than million dollars
under those of the corresponding
months of 1920. The transfers for
January, 1920, however, broke all re-
cords of the county, climbing to the
enormous total e of $1,416,97O, the
month following sales amounted to
s30O,950, while for January OF this
wear sales amounted to less than a
quarter million dollars, or exactly
s205,G40, while big falling off from
this amount was shown in February
when the sales totalled only $119,S40
The month of March has not yet been
totalled, but 1t is expected that II
will be nearep normal than either OF
the other two monts of the year.
The big falling off is accounted foi
| by the fact that there have been nc
big auction sales of realty in the
county this year.
