St owe &. Palmer call attention to this situation and explain ex-plain It on the ground that recent sales of building lots In the J (rights to oul-- oul-- -fide buyers have turned (ho eyes of out-of-town Investors to the property, but the bad weather conditions, which forbid for-bid any possibility of showing property, havo prevented the closing of any new deals. The situation Is only momentary, however, how-ever, and there Is likely to be u break In the market at almost any time, with numerous sales as the result. Improvement Improve-ment in the weather Is likely also to cause a. resumption of building operations opera-tions in the Heights. Work on the foundations of the new buildings to be erected there has necessarily been suspended sus-pended during the cold weather and the coming warm spll is llkolv to cause considerable activity on the Heights.
