Show "CLOSE IN" FARMS lOW FOR Profits of Market Gardening in Vicinity of City Are Well Understood. "Back to 'the farm" appears to be the slogan of man' real estate buyers in this vicinity nowadays, .judging by the amount of activity in this class of property. JTowover, trading in city lots has also shown a big improvement during'-tho past week and doalors are in high spirits. For a considerable time past small acreage properties within easy reach of the city have been much sought after, af-ter, but last wjek the activity was especially es-pecially great, tho fine weather having permittod sellers to exhibit to purchasers purchas-ers their holdings, and therefore accomplishing ac-complishing sales that otherwise would not have becu made. Ground for market gardening and horticultural pursuits seems to have been the favorite in this regard. There is an all-absorbing and profitable market mar-ket in Salt Lako ('ity for such products prod-ucts as may be raised in the garden patch and the fruit grove. Surrounding Surround-ing tho city iH a largo acreage of land admirably fitted to these purposes, and two and three-acre patches here and there arc being1 rapidly taken up. In the residence subdivisions and additions the sales of the wool? were in advanco of thoso of the week prior. Especially is this true of building snots on tho cast and southeast benches. Dealers were literally kept; on tho lump in showing an disposing of lots for homo building purposes, and there wore many sales in such properties for investment of spare money. Ever conservative, the people of Salt Lake aro coining to roalize the patont fact that residence property in the city is held at an exceptionally reasonable reason-able price, and that no more favorable time for its purchase ever existed here than right now. Now that tho woathor is good a ireat many sales of building lots arc being niaiio to visitors from othor parts, these apparently bo'mg more duick to Tcalin their' value simply from a speculative viewpoint. At any rate, the market is vastly improved over its condition during tho continuous stormy weather of tho past few months, and dealers, sollors and buyers aro far more cheerful in spirit. |
