THE VALUE OF PstorsizTy.—The small return now
obtained for money on solid security was made manifest
last week at the Auction Mart, on the occasion of Mr.
George Robins having to sell freehold ground-rents
amounting to 2401. a year. A reversionary interest was
appended to this sale, at the expiration of 77 years, but
this reversion, at such a distant period, was worth no-
thing, and yet the ground-rents averaged more than 31
}ears' purchase ; and a peppercorn rent fur 77 years,
(when the fee simple will be possessed), of' the Hope and
Anchor public-home, estimated at 1001. a-year, actually
produced 100 guineas. The interest upon this sum, with
the compound inter, st for 77 years, will amount to 4,600/.
which is consequently the enormous value the pepper-
corn produced.—Morning Post.
