IN NEW YORK.
correspondent OF the New Orleans P1cGyrne
draws picture OF the real eetate market in New
York which cannot be reassuring to the proper
tyowneEB Of that city, but is entirely in harmony
with the statements made hitherto in this col
unp on the best Of authority:
''The real estate market has seldom been
known to be 80 depressed Sc at the present time,
and many owners Of it are being made nankrupts
because they do own it, Bone fne buildings up
town, which cost GIG, 600 each to erect. and upon
which there we're mortgages of 5000 each were
knocked on at auction recently for 1000, or
81. 900 less than the mortgage. Some OF the best
property in the city is offered at one-haH its
cost, and yet it is not purchased Those who
own real estate say they have enough, and do
not care to add thereto; while capitalists who
do not own it, and yet have plenty Of money,
refuse to purchase.
"There are elegant houses on the avenue, lately
erected, that are lot for mere song-smpy less
than the ta1es-simpIy for the purpose OF hav-
ing them occupied, new houEe fs always
better for being used year or two after It Is
completed.
This drag on real estate helps to drag down
and demoralize everything else, and it is tho be-
ncss point Of Wow until this dead-lock in real
estate has bocn broken.
SIT is difficult to picture our position. There
are cords OF money, and yet trade il suffering as
severely as il the rate of interest was ten times
what it is.
