The Clique Movements in the sInrlket-NIore
of the Broadway Widening-Dangcr of Dis-
intcsratiap.
The interest in the real estate market is deepening
since the passage OF the Broadway widening bill and
the discussion II has occasIoned concerning the
heavy purchases during the last three years made by
prominent politicians. Two years ago, when the
bear talk was loudest and there was concerted at
tack from various quarters made upon the market,
with view to break prices and produce, If possible,
panic, we drew attention the TACT that this was
simply movement In the interest Of
A POWERFUL CLIQUE.
organized for the purpose Of buying large quanti-
ties OF real estate and whose operations were de-
layed or impeded by the prevailing high prices. We
also maintained the fact that this clique was COM
posed largely OF politicians who had it always in
their power to give enhanced value 10 their pur.
chases by suggesting or forwarding improvements
at various times since then, when the bearing was
strongest, we again called attention 10 the further
fact that these purchases were being made. SO
adrotly, however, were they managed that it was
impossible to give more exact data. The list pub.
lished by morning contemporary gives but
partial exhibit OF the operations OF this clique
as In number OF cases title was not
taken by any one likely TO be recognized by the pub
lie as identified with the leaders. We have no fault
to find with these purchases. Mr.. Tweed
could not better employ the great wealth
he has acquired in the service OF his city
and State than In this character of investment
but there is room for objection to the manner In
which 1t has been done, persistent and continued
attack upon the value Of his fellow citzens property
such as has been made day after day for two years
through the columns Of the Bohemian journal ev-
dently In the interest Of this buying clique although
1t tailed or Its object does not aud to his claims upOn

bring about panic might have been attended with
the most disastrous results.
1t is said now, however, that there IS
SERIOUS TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.
The death OF Mr.. watson threw the claims he held
in the Broadway widening into the hands Of his
executors or administrators, If not promptly trans
ferred. which would have taken large per centage
OF profits out OF the channel previously marked out,
and int the estate or elsewhere not INTENDED. This
caused the interruption in the passage OF the Broad.

having been properly transferred, The measure was

which has been submitted ana adopted arises from
the necessity OF additional legislation to give power
to the commissioners to go on with the work. Be-
