REAL ESTATE MATTERS.

Word About "Buying In''-Sales In New
York and Brooklyn Yesterday-ImprOvcd
md Unimprovcd Property In New YOrlz-WiI-
liamsburg Lots.
Among the popular fall acies which exist at the
present day there Is which exhibits in greater
degree that charming quality OF gubility, dear to
politicians, and renders ridiculous and obsolete
the old comparison of the popuu with the ror
Del as the belief eld regiously by many that what
ever is put up at auction and subsequently knocked
down is sold Never was public faith more deceived
and never more imposed upon, nor is this con-
fined to any particular branch OF trade,
but extends throughout all the departments
of speculative enterprise thus introduced
to notice. Even real estate is not exempt from this
system of "buyng in," as it is called auctioneers
being often compelled, in spite Of their own better
judgment, to urge property beyond Its real value, at
the suggestion OF owners and finally TO accept
bogus bid. Thus the published reports of sales give
but q partial idea OF the state Of the market, and
must be taken cum Drdn0 sails If proper apprecia
ton Of Its condition would be attained or the folly
and mistaken judgment of thus dealing with bona
dde bidders none are more sensible than the auc-
tiOneers, or better satisfied with carte blanche
Of their sound perception in this matter, deduced
from experience need not be required than the sue
attending the recent great sales Of Beecker and
anticipated But such Sales are rare, Il being gene
y,
that less than third of that put up is really sold.
The sales yesterday at the auction excepting that
we're not o great portance suboned are the
