Large and Small Investors. During the past few weeks sales of three pieces of property have been made, the consideration in each case being $100,000, One of the properties referred to fs a resi- dence, and the others are located in the business section of the city and are in use for business purposes. These transactions are all of good size, as far as the amount is concerned. Their importance in the market, however, does not depend upon the amount of money involved in the trans- y afford an indication of cénditions which seem to point to the fact that investors are on the lookout for a chance to place their idle money. It has been the experience that when the comparatively few people who have large sums available for investment appear in the market the far more numerous class of people who have their small savings to invest will also begin to turn their atten- tion to the advantages of realty as an in- vestment. When the latter is actually an accomplished fact it. may be said there is an active market. Designed as a, Home. A house has been recently completed for the use of Gen. A.

But a portion of the wide front of the lot is occupied by the house, and there is a side yard on the east which is protected by an iron grille at the street front and pro- vides an approach ta the:rear of the house and also allows for windaw openings in all the stories of the house, thus increasing the supply of air and light throughout the structure. For this reason it is posstble to have the house extend back the entire depth at the full width. There ts a basement or cellar under the entire. house, with a provision for a cold storage room. The kitchen is on the first floor. The front of the house is a pleasing combination of brown brick and stone, and the main entrance {s by a stone porch and through a tiled vestifule into an entrance hall.
