RIAL EsTATE-There was considerable compe.
tition noticeable at the Merchants Exchange to-
day, ard a very large amount of property was
offered for sale by different auctoneers but the
city property, offered by Messrs. @. f. Grardey
* Co., attracted especial attention. Those gen
uemen had long since invited public scrutiny as
to the various improved and unimproved lots
which they desired TO offer for sale to-day, aud
the result of their efforts at the close of business
is The highest testimony that we can present in
their favor. Batturs lots, heretofore considered
almost valueess, have under their hammer appa.
rently acquired a magical value, and the whole
OF the trust confded 10 them has been disposed
OF in manner that at once must give satisfac
ton 70 the employer and emplOy6. As space
and time forbid more extensive remarks, how
ever, we would refer to the subjoined statement
