HOW IT LOOKS TO DEALEES. -4t thisseasor the real-estate market is an ob- lect of only the most languid cariosity ; itisnot 1 time when much is doing or expected, and all ihat there is to chronicle is the desnitory busi- aeas that in'so large a city is certain togoon the Jear throogh. ) No better view can be given of the situstion of real estate than by reporting in brief the an- awers made by different dealers to the inquiri of the reporter yesterdsy. At the first of- fice vigited it was reported that there was some demand for improved property, particalarly for thatin the busincss district yield. ing s return. There are are »fow outsida capi- talists Jooking about the cty for property to in- vest in, some of them from Boston, but they ere fow. THE TEXDEYCY AXOMG CAPITALISTS Is rather to loan money on bond and morigage thas to buy. Thedifficulty experienced in seling noimproved property is shown by the want of suooess in finding purchssers for the vacant block on West Msdison, between Ads and Elizs- beth. This property, held three yearas ago at £360,000, is now offered at £300,000. People assent readily to the general proposition that this {s the time to buy city real estats, but there arc faw who have the * conrage of their conwic- tions.” A number of thy dealers had Lothingto repart and mothing to esy; others found the moarkst quist, with that bstter fesling which your true resl-estafs dealer is never too much depressed to be ahle to discover. Avotber deal- er, conscientionsly ansble to say that there was angthing active in the present state of affairs, «asta forward his prophetic eye and finds tuat CONFIDEKRCE 18 GROWING in » fair spring trade; otherwiss he finds busi- ness “flat.” Further on, snother firm have found in for real estate more sciive than it ‘was, alth unfortnnately, the views of burer and seller are still wide apart; they had experi- ence of come cash buyers, and knew of some outside property being eold ; the dealer who has distingvished himself vy lus profuse advertising bad made the greatest number of eales; his antit] was found in the firm who reported .mixfm “awfally fat.” ———— SALES OF THE WEEK.
