REAL ESTATE MATTERS.

There were no sales at the Exchange yesterday,
Friday being generally considered a. a dies non
amont real estate operators. In connection with
the large sale OF Rutherford Park lots yesterday we
should have mentioned that 1t was conducted by A.
j. Bleecker the recent victim Of the radical Congress-
who has done more within tho last couple Of months
and successfully, in suburban property than any
other concern In New York. Under his manage.
ment and with his assistants, Trode and Ball, the
general direction was du Jlit, the prices being, to
our Idea, fairly appreciated.

country cou the ceremonies at the grave consisted
Of the voluntary prayers, and the singing
Of a hymn, after Which each one OF the Japan
csc picked up a handful of clay and dropped 1t
in in the M crave, with which ceremony the burial
was concluded.
