THE REAL ESTATE MARKET. January Sales Give It Strength Xo Bad Effects from Moore's Defalcation. The prevailing feature o the real estate transfers during last week were the demands for small property, and exchange of mu panic, ncai csiaio uwii co very xiuyc- t f ul of the outlook for spring trade, and ex- I press great satisfaction over the sales of the present month. While theso liave not been any extremely Jaro transfers tho demand for smaller property has increased to such an extent a to offset any depreciation of business. There were ninety-four transfers during tho week, the values aggregating $183,876.30. Bargains are quickly taken np, which indicates the presence of ready money and confidence in the future growth of value in Indianapolis property. The pleasant winter has been a factor in the present healthy state of the trade, said a member of one of the large real estate firms. "When a deep snow is on the ground," he remarked, 'onr business becomes dull, as people want to see what they are buying. 1 am of the opinion that the success of our January trade, which has been three times as heavy as during the same month for several years past, is duo in a great measure to the opportunities which the pleasant weather has given for favorable presentation of property." In making inquiries among the real estate firms as to how the defalcation of Moore would affect tho market, it was learned that the tendency was rather in favor of a more active market, the ground for this being that Mr. Moore, as custodian of the great real estate interests of the Connecticut Mutual in the citv, had always held property fi.r above the actual legitimate market price, and thereby produced a stagnation. None of the dealers regarded tho defalcation as in any way derogatory to tho real estate interests of the city, ana all expressed the opinion that the policy of the company would be to aee particularly that its agent set a price upon its possfssions within market values. Money Low in the Trepury. In conversation with a Journal reporter, yesterday, State Treasurer Lemcke said: 'It is the same old story. The treasury will run down to the lowest ebb before the Legislature recognizes ita condition. The ways and means committee, from whom our relief is supposed to come, has a thousand otter things constantly demanding its attention, which, of course, is all right, but it must not forget the treasury. It is lo here and lo there! To-day the committee is in Fort Wayne, inspecting the Institution for the Feebleminded. I trust it will aoon raise some money." Obituary Notice. Jacob H.
