REAL ESTATE MATTERS.

Extensive Public Sales OF Property.No
Real Activity Apparent in the Market
Widening of Kingsbridge Road.
Public sales to the amount OF $500, 900 and up.
wards were effected yesterday at the Real Estate
Exchange, in this city and Brooklyn, the most Of
them, however, being foreclosures ordered by de-
cree from the Supreme Court.
The attendance OF buyers was not over numer.
GUS and very little spirit was displayed. The bid.
ding appeared to be done mechanically.
There is positively no activity in the market,
contrary to general expectations. The causes
therefor are manifod-a stringent money market
and the close proximity OF the Post estate sale
being probably chief among them. Besides, the
unsettled state OF the weather likewise acts very
unfavorably upon the buying ans selling OF landed
property.
The awards and assessments In the matter OF
widening the Kingsbridge road, from 155th street
to Spnyten Duyvil Creek, have aroused great deal
OF indignant feeling among the owners Of real
estate in the upper part OF the island The AWARDS
In detail are considered as being made in such
in many cases. The assessments also are cen.
sidered as being very unIustly levied, they being
largely imposed upon property that Is not thought
to be in the least benefited by the Improvement.
1t extends down the east side Of the boulevard to
145th street. thence along the nsrthery line Of that
street to the Eighth avenue, thence along the
west side Of that avenue to the Harlem River, and
also embraces all that part OF the island north OF
10th street, and extending from river TO river:
see In what respect they are or can be benefited
by the proposed Improvement.
The following are the details OF the transactions
