Show ' REAL ESTATE GOSSIP. What is Said About the Market and Its Future Prospects. ' Tho talk about real estate matters, picked up by a Times roan, is to the effect ef-fect that there is no real dullness in the market. The diminution in the amount of the transfers which has been noticed for a week or tvvo, is attributable attribut-able to nothing else than the natural result of the usual lull between the early spring and summer travol. Below Be-low is printed the opinions of three well-known dealers, and to say thai these are flattering is but faint appreciation appre-ciation of tho situation: J , J. T. Stringer Property is held very firm. Nino-tenths of the realty in tne city ana suburbs is in the hands of parties who have purchased and who will not cut prices.. Sales have not been large lately in consequence. The outlook is very bright, and I anticipate a lively movement as soon as the regular summer sum-mer travel sets in. More inquiries from the east como to us now than at any time previously. There are people here now investigating the question of establishing es-tablishing a minernl paint factory in this city. These men are extensively engaged in the manufacture of mineral paint, and have large plants in New York and Omaha. J. W. Hamm Tho realty market is firm but quiet, and the outlook is very good. My information is to the effect that thero will be a number of large dealers here next week. Two or throe large deals aro now under consideration, considera-tion, but they are not likely to be consummated con-summated lor two weeks. When brought to a settlement there will be a good deal of stir in surrounding property. prop-erty. The schemes on foot are numerous. numer-ous. Manufacturing and other industries indus-tries aro now being planned, and this is the best season of the year lor such work. Mr. Edward Hooker, of the Omaha stock yards, was here Yesterday. Yester-day. He said to me that ho had been sent to Utah to look over the situation and determino about establishing a packing house in tho territory. Ho thought that it would not be advisable to plant such a business at Ogden, for the reason that it could not bo run more than four months in the vear.and therefore it would not prove a financial success. If it was finally determined to establish a pneking house in Utah, it would come to Salt Lake. A. n Mayne Prices for real estato ru.o very firm. The dullness com-plained com-plained of by some people is moro imaginary than real. There aro numerous num-erous inquiries from parties who want to build homes for themselves: in fact, the principal inquiries are for residence property. AVe have done lairlv well lately, and have nothing to complain of. As to tho future, 1 think it looks bright. 1 believe real estate will settle down to an established basis, and that there will be no wild speculative move- I nient. 1 |
