REAL ESTATE,
THE SALE OF THE MOTT ESTATE
A Large Attendance, Spirited BID.
ding and Fair Prices.


d E d U @ T I O N S.
The sale Of the Mott estate yesterday justified
all the suggestions that have been pointed out
here in reference to the turning point In this
market that would grow out Of the Presidents
estoppe OF imitation. 1t was the feature not alone
Of the market this week and yesterday, but the
most important incident OF that character within
two years. or the causes which produced spe-
cial interest In 1t 1t II not necessary here to
speak, as they have been already Sufficiently
pointed out; and that they are understood and
appreciated was shown In the
LARGE ATTENDANCE
which early awaited the auctioneer's presence
That auctioneer was Anthony J. Blocker. the
veteran figure or the market, whose years sit
lightly upon shoulders unbent by time, and whose
voice, as 1t resounded through the vault-like
apartment in which the sale was held, had
in 1t nothing OF the expected weakness
Of over threescore years and ten. 1t
has been said that the attendance was large. but
not the less noticeable was it In regard to the
character OF the attendance. which, while having
the appearance OF q mass meeting, in that great
room under the Trinity building, now known a.
the Exchange Salesroom, filing at one time fully
One-half its space, comprised, with others, many
Of our most respected citizens known In monetary
circles as '1heavy men," among whom 1t Ii worth
while to enumerate as
PRINCIPAL BUYERS
Messrs. E. s. Higgins. ). W. Dimmock, F. G. Law.
renee, F. q. Cossitt, M. Conway, B. P. Fairchild.
r. v. Harnet and John Wilson. Names OF
o her buyers are given below. The bidding
throughout the sale was animated and spirited,
exhibiting sharp competition which fully bears
harm TN vopd IN Fsrfvp ~
the market. or course the prices obtained were
not extravagant but they were fair, and, what is
far more encouraging to the market than even In
hated prices would have been, showed
AN EARNEST INVESTMENT INTEREST,
born most evidently OF the conviction that bottom
had been touched in this market in the matter OF
prices, and that from hencef0rth these would be
appreciative. Al balfpast three the referees ana
executors who had charge OF the sale ordered an
adjournment for one week, the lateness OF the
hour warning them that they would have but scant
time to gather in their ten per cents ere darkness
would close upon their days labor. Taken all In
all the sale was an undoubted and surprising
success. To those, however, who have watched
the progress OF events in this market through the
columns OF this paper 1t was only foregone con-
cuslon Independent in pointing out the con-
diri0n In which the market was IN some
few weeks ago, ana quick 9 l,r TO recognize the
surrounding 1t, the Witthaus and this sale OF the
Mott estate are simply illustrations OF the views
There Is larger satisfaction IN the present, how
ever in view OF the improved tone 1t Will give the
to look Tor any great activity, there is Justification
enough In yesterdays results to anticipate hence
forward firm market. The following are par
