INTERESTS or REALEST1TE MEN.

Business was dull last week among the real estate
brokers. The principal incident was the organiza-
ton of the new Exchange. A strife that is to be
regretted took place over the election of directors
bnt dealers now say that the bitter feeling
aroused has largely subsidized in the last
few DAVIS The subscribers met yesterday,
approved tho minutes Of last Thursdays meeting
and Amounted the following committee 10 consider
the proposed site of the Exchange, Nos. 60-G3
Liberty-st: James NJ. Vamum, john ID. Crmmins
James L. Smith, Horace 5. Ely, John II. Sherwood
s. Van r. Crugcr and II. II. Cammans. There ~
httlo doubt that this site will be chosen the
most economical and available. OF course il will be-
a wear yet before the building be- altered for the
purpose intended.
The contest over the election aud the usual dull
ness of the holiday season checked transactions,
But prices continue to be firm, and ut the auction
sales last week the property sold was subjected to
spirited bidding Little was done AT private sale,
however and the most important transactions were
as follows: Macley ~ Davies sold No. East
Seventy ffth-st. for $4,000, and two lots in
seventy hfth-st. east Of Fifth-ave., for the same
amount Four lots in Eighty-eghth-st. west of
Ninth-ave have been sOld by h. N. Freeman IL

sale on private terms was announced OF seventeen
