REAL ESTATE AND BUSINESS. Conditions in State About Same as Last Year—Improvement Locally. Last week Norwich had 12 sales of real estate to six a year ago that week while the mortgage loans were $34,470 and $5,900 respectively. In the state there was very little dif- ference in the volume of real estate transactions for the week just closed and the like week of last year. A total of 225 sales for the week compares with 234 the previous year, and the aggregate amount of mortgage loans in the towns reported in the Commer- cial Record for the week is $634,233, against $620,159 a year ago. The record of petitions in bankruptey filed in this state during the week is very unsatisfactory. There were but three petitions, but a very considerable of money is involved. Aver- age assets of $16,513 compare with av- | erage liabilities of $23, 4. The seven new incorporations have average cap zation of $61,285. The record is better than for any similar “"_’e(;k during the past five years except 1910. Building permits in the four leading cities of the state for the week num- bered 47, against 62 for the same week of 1911 and 69 in 1910. Cost of build- ings was $137,610, as compared with $215,204 in 1911 and $160,625 in 1910. FUNERAL, James B. Lamb. The funeral of James B.

He had a rather heavy mous- tache and a noticeable growth of closely cropped beard on his face which those who had known him here said was different from his former habit of wearing his moustache and beard.
