REAL ESTATE MATTERS.

There seems to be q little more activity in the
market at present, Judging from the number of
private negotiations effected during the week but
at the Exchange very little attraction has been
offered during the same period. The cause OF this
in all probability is that very little desirable real
estate has been put on sale TO tempt purchasers
with.
on 'Change yesterday large assemblage gath
ered but the days business was spiritless and
conducted without the display Of the slightest en-
thusiasm. We have received the following par
ticulars OF private saes:-
Mr. william H. Raynor sold eight lots on the east
side of Third avenue between Tooth and lolst

STOCKS QUIET AND IRREGULAR.
The stock market was quiet and steady in its gen.
cral features but irregular upon scrutiny Of de-
tails. Thus Western Union. Rock Island. Ohios
Lake Shore and Central were heavy and lower,
while Pacific Mail, O. G, and l. G., Erie Union Pa
ciflc and wabash were steady and firm. Union Pa
cifc was not Affected at least unfavOrably, by the
decision OF the United States Attorney General ex-
tending the retention OF interest moneys on nc
count Of tolls for government transportation over
the company's ~
BRIDGE AT OMAHA,
his opinion being that "under the act Of 1873 all
compensation for services to the government by
the said company upon Its railroads Of any kind Is
to be retained long any interest in the United
States by the company upon its bonds remain I'M
paid and that the railroad Of the company across
the bridge is one OF the railroads to which said act
applies" In the miscellaneous list Panama al
yanced to lilo, while
CANTON
after rise to no. fell to 101H. In explanation OF
the latter nuctuation IL ID said that 'Unce Danelr
had sold a number OF calls at 104 los, which ex-
pred at quarter to two O'Clock this afternoon.
The situation Afforded 'Jakey" chance for the
execution OF brilliant idea. With the sanction OF
Uncle Daniel ne went into the Board and bid Can
ton up to ITO. The holders OF the expiring calls
were electrified at this rise, and notified their In
tentlon to take the stock. As soon as they had
formally done SO "Jakey" ceased bidding, and the
holders OF the calls in trying subsequently to sell
the stock, found no better market for 1t than 1O1
100. Result, dead loss Of "a 3per cent, instead
OF the prospective gain OF . per cent The re-
cent rise in Ohios Is explained by gain Of SEQ
on the earnings Of the month OF April. Toward the
close hannibal and st. Joseph dropped to 39h,
closing at little rally to 40.

THURSDAY, May S-e P. M.
Business continued slow to-day in most depart
ments Of trade, and we note some important
changes Cotton was still dull. Flour was inquired
for to some extent for export to Great Britain
and several sales were made on the basis OF
lower prices. Wheat was very scarce, and old
Spring was taken at some advance for ex-
port. The supply OF this sort is about ex-
hausted, there being but one or two loads
available. For other kinds the market was
quiet and steady. Corn was dull and heavy,
though fair aggregate business gas done at
about yesterdays prices. Whskey was again
decidedly higher, but not very active. The pork
market was dull and prices were decide lily lower,
both for lots on the spot and to arrive. Lard was
also decidedly lower and nearly nominal. Grain
frcights were stronger under fair demand for
room. Groceries continued quiet, but were held
