The real estate market during the week has not been entirely featureless. A sale was made of the southwest corner of Dearborn and South Water streets for and there were transfers recorded of some other pieces of property where the consideration exceeded There has been a largo number of sales made of the cheaper class of residence property, which has kept up well during the six months. In the opinion of those persons who have followed closely the real estate market in Chicago these purchases represent the savings of the reasonably well-to-do people who work for salaries, and to whom the linancial panic has been of little importance. Those who have made as much money during the last two years as they did during boom times seem to have Increased their habits of economy, and as a result are now able to purchase ground upoa which to put up their own homes. The sales of this class of, property have been more noticeable along the newly-opened lines of transportation.

This Is particularly true of the Metropolitan Klevated and the territory through which it passes. The main line west, running from Franklin street on the east to Vest Forty-eighth street, passes through a territory which lias not been particularly favored in the past by prospective home-owners. There is a large number of lots which have never been improved, and these are coming rapidly into the market.

Real estate, men are more than favorably impressed with the present outlook. The two months in the year when sales are less frequent than in any other are July and August.

People who are looking for homes are prone to leave the city during the hot months, and as a result the demand for residence property always shows a falling off. Capitalists are also less likely to remain in Chicago during the hot months and this has its effect upon business property. There an illustration of this in negotiations which are now going on for the sale of a downtown holding. The owner of the property left last week for Europe with the deal not yet closed, and the prospective purchaser is in the White Mountains. All the negotiations are being carried on by the Chicago representatives of the two men and are necessarily slow.
