THE MOVEMENT UP TOWN,


The growth of the ciUy in the district the East
Side, between Fortieth-st. and tho Harlem RIVER
has been very great within the last ten years, and
the tendency now is TO extend building operations
In that direction rather than lower down on the
W eat Side. The lower part Of the city Is being
m pidlv taken up with warehouses and stores. The
region about Union and Madison-squares. not
many wears ago the centre Of fashionable houses is
now largely occupied by business hogses. hesl-
been altered into stores and sce and these streets
are becoming centres Of retail trade. The club
housaa are moving up Fifhl-ave, and various KINDS
of bnsness houses can be foDnd in that street Tor
several blocks above Madison-sQuare.
Pend transit has done much to revive building
oneratlons on the East Sids. Two-thirds CT the
hnidipgs erected in the city last year were IN the
Twelfth and Nineteenth Wards. Iek years ago
there were 9o4 buildings put up in tho Mnsteenth
Ward. which extends from Fortiethrss, 70 Rgnty-
6fth-st, Last year tAere were only $40 buildings
erected in that Wardj but there wese 300 IN tine
Twelfth Ward, which runs from Eighty tiset. 70
the Harlem River. In the Twenty -seoond Ward,
which runs from Fortieth-st. to Eghteth-st. on the
West Side there were 400 buildings erected IN
ia7I and only 1888 In 1880. The lack OF dock fa-
eilities and tho need of Improvement 10 the roads
impede building operations in that negheorhood.
There are no means Of crossing the island between
Ffty.ninth and One hundreds

NEW BUILDINGS AND RENTS.

THE RECORD OF THIRTEEN YEARS.
INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF BUILDINGS IN THIS
CITY SINCE 186S-How THE WORK OF YEARS
CoAEPAREs--HARo TIMES WEIGH AFFECTED
BUILDING NTEREsTs-AN ERA OF PROSPERITY.
The increase in the number Of buildings erected IN
this city last year. compared with previous years
since the business depression Of 1S73 is marked
indication of the rapid growth of this city. and the
return Of business prosperity. The real estate mar
ket has not yet entirely recovered. however. from
the blow 1t received in 1871 from the exposure OF
the Tweed Ring. which had mortRaged real estate
within the city to an enormous extent by causing
the issue of $7s 900 900 in city stocks and bonds in
four years, and which virtually confscated great
amount of uptown property by levyng large assess
ments for d" street Improvement" and other
favorite ring methods Of robbery The year OF
greatest activity in building was 1871, when 2,7s2
plans for new buildings TO cost 81. .5e5. .391 were
filed in the Department Of Building1 The effect OF
the Tweed Ring exposures, with the necessary in
crease Of taxation, was marked. The year 1872
showed decrease In the number of buildings pro-
posed to be erected Of 1854 and decrease In cost
of $14, ,700621. The year 1873, that of the panic,
added greatly to the depression In real estate This
was more marked in the decrease In the number OF
frst-class dwellings erected. In 1871 there were
1,O49 frstclass dwellings erected at cost OF
1928, 900. In 1872 the number decreased TO
400, and in 1873 to 2O6 costing 81 $40, 900; show
ing that the rIch falt the effects Of the depression
even more than the poor.
In 1874 there was hardly market for city real
estate. Insurance companies and savings banks
were loaded with mortgages on property which
would not sell for the face value of the lien. City
taxes were high, and the fruits OF the Canal Ring
robberies and the 6lching OF the sinking funds OF
the State by the Democratic State Government un-
der Governor Hoffman were beginning to be fully
realized by the taxpayers. In that year there was
slight increase in the number OF new buildings
erected compared with 1873, but they were of
much poorer class, 40 was shown by the fact that
their total cost was less by over SIS, 600, ,OO0 In
1875 there was an effort of business boom"
throughout the country. and the prophets were
numerous who predicted that the era Of business
prosperity had set In. The effect was shown on the
real estate market by increase in the number of
buildings erected, especially of rscass dwellings.
at cost greater by nearly $2.00O,OO0 than that OF
the previous year. The years 1875 and 1877 showed
a relapse the sum expended in new buildings In the
latter year being nearly $50OO0O0 less than in the
year 1875.
The era of lowest depression was in 877. In 1878
there waa a manifest Improvement. and in 1879
marked one, while 1880 makes better exhibit than
any year since 1871. The following table, which
shows the number of buildings proposed 70 be
erected each year since 1868, with the estimated
cost, indicates the changes IN the market:
