r IV ST. PAUL BEAL ESTATE. Prices for Eealty in A 11 Parts of the City ' Continue Very Firm and . Solid. . [■wili. ink M-. Www Great Activity at Midway, in the North of the City, and on Dayton's • Bluff.-' • ,;' "West St.fPaul Full of Great Possibili ties, Which Can Hardly be ' Estimated. Business Property in Very Active De mand in All Directions in St. Paul. The real estate market in St. Paul during the past week has presented a very peculiar appearance. The business was here, to be transacted the same as usual, but there were not so many here to attend to It. The harvest was here and ripe, but the s hus bandmen were absent They had gone into a far country full of riches, where gold and greenbacks were as the sands on the sea shore tor number, and where every shower spread the earth with diamonds. To reach this land of wealth, and gold, and green bacK abundance, these husbandmen, who had been a thrifty set here in St. Paul, and bad garnered a good.? heritage in the good old way, were not without peril in their travels *to the billow-beaten Eldorado of -the North, and if report is correct some of them had rather a tempestuous voyage on the return trip, and had ample opportunity to sample the walk ing. Of course, in the absence of these husbandmen, business here dropped some hat. Sales that ought to have been made and transactions that should have been com pleted, were temporarily abandoned, while the husbandmen scud away to Duluth and Ashland, where they expected to find better things. The consequence is that the trans actions here in St. Paul were somewhat cur tailedall the week, and the amount of sales were several hundred thousand dollars less i than they would have been had the dealers remained at home and "attended to their knitting." The falling oil* in tiie total Miles of realty tor the . week is not very large, and tb ...most that can be said is. that the falling off means simply that so much business is held in abeyance, and will be taken up and carried through just as soon as the dealers return from their wanderings. It is known to some, at least, that several large deals had been initiated and would have been com pleted but from this speculative cyclone from Duluth anil Ashland which struck this city. The cyclone, in its nature, could not wait. The deals people here had on hand could, and so the latter were allowed to rest while the counts of "Monte Christo" went abroad to gather up endless wealth. The only effect upon the market is that the amount of sales has been briefly curtailed. The exodus has not changed the value of any- of the property in St. Paul. There is not an acre or a lot here that can be bought one cent less than it could before the Du luth and Ashland booms broke forth. • If any one has any doubt on this point it is a very easy matter to TEST THE MARKET and ascertain definitely. St. Paul reached the financial and commercial point she now occupies through long years of patieritjtoil and anxiety, and a great deal of 'adversity. She has been a plant of rather slow growth,; and while she has suffered from adversity/ her experience has made her strong and vigorous, so that such little fluttering, tem porary ripples on the business surface as the Duluth and Ashland boom has no effect whatever, except to draw away for a brief moment the attention ot some of her deal ers and the temporary suspension of certain deals that will go through all the same a week or two later. There has been a good, strong, healthy demand for all varieties of property in the Midway district, as usual. This is still regarded as the best property in St. Paul for a person to invest in. The fact is recognized that in some other locali ties more money may be made through pure s peculation, still, for a permanent invest ment that is sure to pay there is noth ing equal to the Midway district. In West St. Paul the usual activity has prevailed. It is difficult for any man foretell what the Sixth ward will develop into* It has such immense possibilities and lies- so peculiarly favorable for all . kinds of i bi___-W-, *fo_ 5 shipping; for steamboating and for railroading. The possibilities of this ward are simply prodigious, and have scarcely begun to be unfolded. Paul Mar tin appears to have about as much confi dence in it, as any one. and last week he picked up §35,000 worth of real estate in addition to all that he had before. Good business property Is still looked after. A good deal of the most desirable of this kind of property has been picked up. Still a good deal more remains, and several- deals are on the stocks and will soon be . com pleted. Dayton's bluff is rapidly growing in esteem, and a great number of people are turning their attention to that locality. For many years it has been the cheapest prop erty in the city. Mr. Stinson advertises the sale of eighty acres on that bluff on the 10th inst., which will give a large number of peope an opportunity to secure cheap lots upon which they can erect comfortable homes. It is probable that the stretch of country across the north part, of the: city from Phalen to Como has attracted ashmen attention as any part of St. Paul. V.__ good deal of capital is going in there an cl subuiv ban. towns are being located there, which," with the cheap, certain and quick trans portation that can be furnished by the rail road will render them exceedingly desirable as places of residence. With all things con sidered the past week has been one of usual activity. Prices of all kinds of property are very firm and steady. The demand is active, and sales are free at . satisfactory figures. The Day of Booms. This spring seems to be the season of booms, not only in the Northwest, but all through the South, at Nashville, Atlanta, "Birmingham, Louisville, all around,. there seems to be a general aggregation of booms. Birmingham, Ala., seems to be somewhat in the lead. A correspondent of the Chi sago Inter Ocean, who has been all through the south, has recently written a letter to that paper describing just how the boom business is carried on, and in doing this, «s peaks rather disparagingly of the ability of Col. James H. Davidson, of St. Paul, and Jlayor Harrison, of Chicago. He says that in Birmingham out of the 33,000 popula tion, there is one real estate dealer to every one hundred citizens. Property in the heart of the city of Birmingham, he writes is worth from $1,000 to §15,000 per front foot. Here in St. Paul, in a city four times as large as Birmingham, only two pieces have ever been sold for Si, ooo, and but one piece in the city is held at $15,000. INotwithstanding. property is held at that price in Birmingham it is still advancing, while acre property lying five and six miles out of Birmingham is selling right along for 51,200 and $1,500 per acre. The fol lowing is what the writer had to say about Col. Davidson. Further visits to the brokers— as polite and 6hrewd a body of gentleme n as their Chicago compeers — showed the same situation of bustling activity, every caller being immedi ately taken for an intending purchaser, and each tempting offering: of foundry site, fur nace, blast-mill or building lot being painted a gorgeous red— in tact the whole town ia that way, as well verbally as in the flamboy ant bills framed in hard wood. For Lake-of- Cotno panegyrics in regular Claude Melnotte style, the Birmingham broker when fully fired to his subject, can give a point even to Col. Davidson, of the Twin Cities, Minneapolis and St. Paul, or Mayor Harrison himself, and the Chicago real estate board would do well to secure him early for the next annual ban quet. y A few weeks ago the boom business made a landing at Duluth and got a good foothold, and people flocked there from all the regions around, and prices of real es tate went up at a rapid rate. People in St. Paul and Minneapolis increased their wealth at a prodigious rate. From Duluth It went to Ashland and there on to Sault Ste Marie, where it now is in its height. It Is predicted by many that a very large.city will be built there and all the week train loads of people have been going up from St Paul and Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Cleveland and other Eastern cities, all go *u* to buy. real estate for ] little or nothing that Is to be sold for enormous profits. It is - generally understood that:' when the busi- . ness is finished at the Sault the boom will "strike back to the town at the head of Green • Bay, touched by the "Soo" road and then It will go West and so on to Helena.;'' The 'boom is a wonderful manifestation ' of the propensity of the American people to make money. * - "• ' ' Biff Talk. E. B. Northup, a real estate dealer with H. S. tail-child & Son, is wonderfully and curiously made. He enjoys a well-earned reputation for being truthful, and he can not patiently endure anybody's rubbing up against that reputation and joggling it. Another peculiarity of his is that he never allows anyone to tell a bigger story than lie does, lie was one of the sacred cohorts that went up to Ashland and helped to buy out that city, ln the car. while returning to St. Paul, "a stranger occupied an ad joining seat, and as they rode along they made each others acquaintance. The stranger was very much elated at his success in money-making nt Ashland, and related to Mr. Northup how he * had been in Ashland just one week and made $14,700, which he concluded he would , take right home with him and not risk anything further. Mr. Northup congratulated the stranger and then proceeded to relate his experience In Ashland. "I got into Ashland,*' he said, "by the first morning train and made the rounds of the business marts as rapidly as possible, because 1 wanted to get back to St. Paul as soon as possible. 1 was in the city altogether about thirty minutes. I saw every real estate firm there in that time and bought ten pieces of property, the titles of which 1 examined, which took me about two hours and a half, resold the whole property and cleared up out of the whole deal thirty-seven thousand and some odd dollars, net. All this was done inside of thirty minutes by the watch, and here lain on my way back."' Mr. Northup says his companion "sort of held < his breath a mo ment as if trying to comprehend the prob lem, and then turned and gazed into his honest lace, when his countenance bright ened up as though he had discovered some thing pleasant, and exclaimed: "Why, Ell Perkins, how do you do? You must excuse me for not recognizing you before."' Comment- of Dealers. P. T. Kavanagh — I guess you will have to let me out to-day, without my giving an opinion. 1 have just got home from an ab sence of Aye week, in the East, aud am not familiar enough with the condition of the market to render my opinion very valuable. I can say this much, though. St. Paul is the most active, thorough-going, solid business town 1 have seen. It's good enough for me, and will outlast them all. 1 make no excep tions. Bristol & l.oomis — is a good active business iv the Midway, district, including Reserve town, and acres in the latter are in good demaud. Merri_m & Moore There is no cessation in the demand for property in the Midway dis trict. This expression includes all the lands between the two cities. A.H.Rogers Transactions run in every direction. No special part of the city mo nopolizes business. People buy everywhere, and want all sorts of property. The demand continues unabated. Large sales have been made out to Como and all along between Como and Phalen. The boom at Ashland, Duluth and at the Sault has made and will hereafter cause some diminution in the total transactions during the time these booms continue, and the rea son why is simply this: The real estate deal ers, many of them have gone to these places where the boom exists, and the various trans actions they had in hand at the time they left are simply delayed till their return. That is all.' These booms will have, in my opinion.no further effect ou St. Paul realty than to delay certain transactions for a short time. I can see no weakening in the market here. Prices continue Arm and, steady. The demand is good, and .actions from day to day aver age about $150,000. Any one that desires a good, solid, healthy real estate market cannot ask for anything better than this. It is a great deal better than to overdo it. You can set it down for a certainty that St. Paul is solid. Bushnell & Bushnell— far as we can ob serve, the excitement at the booming points does not injure St. Paul. We have a steady, regular trade that will come anyway. The demand for houses of all 'kinds to rent is greater than ever this spring. A great many people are coming in here to live, and it is very difficult to accommodate them in this respect. There is a very active demand for lots suitable for residences, and, generally speaking, there is a good inquiry for every variety of realty in all parts of the city. r . Bryant & Kirk— Is no Duluth or Ash land in the real estate market in St. Paul. Here it is business on a solid foundation. ! All dealers are having all they can do. There has been some talk of the Racine Wagon and Carriage company going to Minneapolis. This is a mistake. The company will send large stocks of its goods out this way and may es tablish a branch where they will be sold, but neither the plant or any part of it will be lo cated in Minnesota. Negotiations are now pending and about concluded for the location of a large furniture manufacturing company in St. Paul, which will employ at once not less than three hundred persons. The negotia tions will without doubt be brought to a suc cessful conclusion within a few days. Other manufactories are being arranged for that will employ several hundred men. . W. S. Munroe— Business is good in all va rieties of real property. I have had $340,000 worth listed with me for sale within ten days. This Is partly due to other real estate dealers being at Ashland. Davis & Brown— A large number of the real estate men being out of town buying and selling in Duluth, Ashland and Sault Ste. Marie during the week has probably had some influence in modifviug the sum total of the transactions here. The general situation has not chr.nged at all though, and business ig just the same in proportion. The same ac- ' tivity prevails and sales are made just as readily, while the demand for all kinds of realty continue just as active. It is pretty difficult to mention any particular part of town that has been favored, as sales have been well distributed all around. Probably, if there is any difference, it is in the Midway and West St. Paul properties. The Midway district seems to be regarded as the safest and surest part of town, principally because it lies between the two cities which are grad ually and surely building toward each other. West St. Paul though must never be left out of any calculation when the future business and value of this city is sought to be esti mated or is to be considered. S.G.Sloan The market is very firm In prices, and but for the difficulty in getting abstracts a great many more sales would be recorded. - Perkins & Co.— transactions this week may fall short of the preceding weeks in amount on account of certain deeds being compelled to wait while some of our real es tate dealers are at the lakes, but it has been quite an active week and prices are very firm. "Ingersoll & Camden— market is firm, with a good active request for all kinds of realty. Anything that is offered at reason able figures does not wait long for a pur chaser. It is, in short, just iv the situation it ought always "to be in. Some property in particular localities may be a little too high, but it is doubtful if there is much of it that is inflated. The consequence iB that such prop erty will have to wait, that's all, until the market comes around to it. - The real estate firms of C. M. Lund and R. L. Crescy, 200 East Seventh street, have formed a copartnership under the firm name of Lund & Crescy, and report a good business the past week, having sold tweuty-four lots in South St. Paul at the stock yards and South Park; also five lots in Arlington Hills, three on Dayton's bluff, a block at Como villis and three lots on St. Anthony, hill. They expect to sell ten more to-morrow at the stock yards and South Park. They have not been to Ash land. They have a great demand for land in Wright, Meeker and Renville counties. They expect to get a good share of the emigration this sprinc-. and have land in Renville and Kandiyohi counties for 1.000 families. The father of Willis Fling is on a visit to his son from his native New Hampshire. Mr. Willis, senior, was shown lots purchased by his son at Hamline, and said they were $15 per foot lower than property in Eastern cities half the size of St. Paul, and without auy future cause of growth. Beaumont & Cathcart report continued ac tivity in regions north of Como, and a con siderable movement on the flat in West St Paul. H. S. Falrohild & Son are handling more real estate than ever this year, and hold prop erty for sale in all sections of the city at reasonable rates. They state that the prices of all real estate is firmer than ever, and that St. Paul's steady growth is not to be interfered with by temporary, spasmodic booms any where. A Few Sale*.
