sale. III Philadelphia judicial sales are
about to be made through the Real-Estate
{ Auction Exchange, and there seems no rea-
| son to doubt but what it will prove of great
| advantage to administrators, executors, Re-
| ceiyers, and even Trustees, to have central
gathering place like the Call Board to dis
| pose of their property. where the greatest
number OF buyers can be called together at
one stated time With low upset price as
protection, and a fair, square, and open
competition, every sale would be promptly
confirmed by the courts, and people who
bid would have an assurance of getting what
they bought, without weeks Of time lost In
procuring a confirmation Of their purchase.
II the management OF the Call Board can
bring about such u desirable result, they will
be entitled to great praise. The attendance
at this second sale promises to be much
larger than at the first, which was very ell
couragng for the preliminary effort. and the
result will be watched with great interest by
all engaged i'll reaEestate operations.
