The English vessel Carl has been on

natives were decoycd in their canoes
ALONGSIDE the vessel, and the canoes were
suddenly smashed by heavy pieces of
iron thrown into them. Struggling in
the water the unhappy wretchcs were
caught, hauled ON board the brig, and
thrust into the hold until the SLAYER had
nearly completed her cargo. The ma
tivcs began to tight and set fire to the

REAL ESTATE NOTES.

The Vanderbilt enterprise has given an impetus
to enterprise In Westchester county, and several
large property owners stimulated to offer their
property this coming fall on the market. Among
the estate to be sold at auction In villa plots are
"Larchmontn better known as the Collins estate,
Huguenot Park, and several tracts at Throggs Neck,
Fordham Rye, White Plains and Mount Vernon are
likely to be well represented
There is great deal of activity in real estate at
Nyack, on the Hudson, which town has recently
been brought into more accessibility to the METRO
polls by several new lines of railroad and improved
ferry accommodation. The initiative sale Of .
series will be given by A. ]. Bleecker Son q Co.,
on Saturday. The estate Is known as Court Bril-
liant and is situated within a few minutes walk OF
the railroad depot and steamboat landing. On this
occasion about one hundred lots will be offered. The
tendency of population to seek residences In
nOrthery direction Is becoming every day more
apparent. New Jersey will now have to enter into
direct competition. This sole interest demon
line of the Hudson feel that the market is opening
for them with more activity and promise than In
former years. The fall season will witness al &C
tive movement In property up the river.
A considerable transformation Is now going on
between Eighth street and Canal and Broadway
and East Broadway. The whole region has almost
entirely been filed with wholesale stores, and the
streets between South Fifth avenue and Broadway
north of Canal are being rapidly transformed into
a business district The new avenue Is itself set
ting the adjacent streets good example by the
erection of fine substantial brick, stone ana iron
buildings along Its whole length. This region will
eventually become the new site for the wholesale
trade. .
Grand Park, Westchester county, on which the
late Andrew wilson, Jr., expended so much time
and capital, will soon be brought into the market.
This tract on which the deceased gentleman ex-
pended s3Oo,OOO comprises about six hundred acres
of villa property. 1t was placed In the hands OF
first paid amounted to s24OOoO, next the claims Of
certain Western creditors amounting to 100000,
and after that the proceeds are to be divided pro
rata among the general creditors.
The system OF long payments for suburban lots,
and especially the monthly instalments, finds favor
with the labOring classes, and several new enter
prises in Long Island and New Jersey Will soon be
announced The recent number OF successful sales
indicate a revving demand for suburban homes
and restores confidence among persons OF moderate
means In real estate as an investment. Prices for
lots, say within twenty miles of the City Hail. have
ranged from 500 to $780, except in the cities. The
average has been about $3.50 per lot payable about
thirty per cent cash and seventy per cent on bond
and mortgage three years.

THURSDAY, August 10 =. M)
On 'Change to-day wheat opened firm but quiet,
with moderate offerings. Winter is scarce and in
demand, the market closing with fair export in
quiry. Flour is more active upon slight arrivals
and small stock. The market closed steady, par
tcularly for medium and high grades Of extra. Cot
ton was tame and dull at 2oAc. for low middling,
and 21t4c. for middling. The interest on the
street was most largely attracted by the applica-
ton Of the new tariff, which went into operation
to-day. Elsewhere will be found particulars of
scenes at the Custom House when the importers
commenced to get their goods out of bond. The
point is worth stating here, however, that
TIE LARGEST CUSTOMS RECEIPTS
ever recorded at this port were obtained to-day,
amounting to $2,31s,0OO. This is but the
commencement of this rush upon the Gus
tom House, 1t being physical fact that the clerical
force there is not equal to the work OF discharging
the bonded warehouse for days yet. To-day they
surprised not only themselves, but the merchants
but this was only spurt for which preparation
had been made. Tomorrow or next day they will
be fatigued and some delay in delivery must be
expected The principal point outside Of its effect
upon gold connected with this sudden movement
of merchandise is
FPS INFLUENCE UPON THE MONEY MARKET
Two million three hundred thousand dollars of
duties represents large amount OF goods. When
these goods are drawn out of bond OF course, they
are to be distributed. This will agtate capital,
transportation will have to be paid for, although
from the promised reduction OF the freight tariff
this consideration is not materials but, with the
maturing of notes due upon delivery, and the gen.
eral movement that will result therefrom, in con
necon with the meeting Of contracts, it is safe to
expect some excitement.
GOLD 115H.
Gold touched 115S to-day, natural consequence
of the conditions above mentioned. The customs
receipts to-day were the largest ever received at
this port upon any one day BEFORE but the circum-
stances were exceptionable, hence the excitement.
If Congress had only made the 1st OF July the day
on which the new tariff would go into operation
they might have saved the business community
from the present agitation but the 1st Of August is
so near to the busy season that merchants are
anxious to get hold of their goods as soon as pos.
sble in order to meet their orders The rates paid
for carrying were 2, and per cent to nat. The
