Commodore Vanderbilt and Business.
Commodore yanderbilt the other day
gave the reason why he presented the
Vanderbilt tothe United States Govern
ment. BE has been all his life a stout
opponent of black mailing; he has
steadfastly resisted all drafts made on
him. Harlem and the Central would
have been consolidated, il he had hon
ored the call for $50, GOO. He found that
he could not sell the Vanderbilt to the
Government without feeling a set of
vagabonds that were hanging around
the city. He therefore presented the
ship outright rather than be black
mailed. His idea of business is rather
peculiar. His office is in the rear offbis
house, adjoining his stables. He comes

confidential friend to attend to what he

throat and choke her, scratch her face
and cause her neck to become very
much intiamed, and did then require
her to put on one of his shirt collars to
conceal the marks of his violence upon
her throat, and to go into the presence
OF the parties at whose house they were
temporarily staying. He did during
the same month of August, on morn
ing when she was unwell and had been
weeping, also seize her with his hands
by the, throat and choke her severely,
giving as a'reason for so doing that her
tears might attract the attention Of the

RAPID sALEs OF REAL ESTATE.

= From The ". 7. Commercial Adpe1tfser.
Probably the most remarkable of the
financial movements now in progress
in this city, is that in real estate. Peo-
pie are buying buildings of all kinds,
but dwelling houses in particular. The
inquiry for residences of the better sort
is very brisk. 1t is said by those who
know, that more real property has
changed hands during the past month,
at private sale, than in any similar Pc
riod since the beginning of the war,
The feature fthe business which will
attract most attention, is the increased
prices asked and obtained for the prop
erty disposed of. A rise in value was
not anticipated. 1t is quite true, how
ever, that rates have very generaliy
gone up, and the amount of the increase
varies, according to the estimates of the
real estate men, from five or ten per
cent. to forty per cent. The compari-
son Is with the prices of q year ago; but
there is of course, no absolute standard.
Nearly all the agents who have had
property for sale for several months are
forbidden to sell it at former prices, the
owners declining to recognize the of,
fers they made last year, or in the earlv.
part OF this year; and in many instan-
ces the agents cannot, they say, guar
antee rates from day to day.
There are various causes for the ex-
element in regard to real estate. The
recent depression of general trade here
and In other parts of the country has
tended to unsettle the public confidence
concerning the financial prospect for
the future, which was so manifest a few
months ago. The stagnation of busi-.
ness is supposed by some persons to in
d1cate change of values at an early
day, and attention is directed TO real
estate as a comparatively safe basis of
Investment. These persons think that,
although the prices of real property are
high, the decline cannot be so great as
It may be In other kinds of property.
The fact that real estate in good loca-
tions has risen to double or triple its
former valuation does not deter them
from taking 1t freely at rates that good
Judges consider no criterion of its
worth. The great cost of putting up
buildings now has its full share of in
huence upon these persons, and they
reason that any property which can be
obtained at less than the present ex-
-pense of construction is necessarily
cheap. They take the risks.
There is at the same time n willing
ness on the part of a large. proportion
OF the property owners of the city to
sell; and they often get prices consider
ably above their expectations. Build
ers are very active, and they will make
this year probably two thousand
houses, stores, DC; and most of these
not built upon private order are put in
the market and sold.
The transactions in real estate are
largely for speculation. Operators are
busy with their money; and some OF
them are making quick and heavy re-
turns. ~ -
