BETTER INQUIRY FOR REAL ESTATE.
The transactions in real estate last week were OF
no greater magnitude or number than they nave
been for several weeks: Most bearers aSIee, now
ever that the inquiry FOR unmproyed aud improved
property was larger than for the thfee weeks pre-
cedng The general expectation Is tnat the mar
ket will hold It's strength throughout the summer
and develop better activity next autumn. Ihere
have been many bears on west SIDE property TOT
some time past. Some experienced operators WINE
looking for an ultimate advance III that part OF the
citv have moi hesitated 10 predict sharp decline
before the permanent rise. No signs OF such a lali
arc nnnorent During the whole spnng unlmproved
realty on the west side has maintained hrm hgules.
This strength was particularly noted last week
in the auction sales Of this KIND OF pro
pertV For instance, the corner lot az One-nundIed-
and.frrty-tifth-st and Tenth-ave. brought $4,000,
and about "A 600 was commanded by lois not on
corners Real estate owners are LOOKING 10 an lni-
provement the west side when II receives surface
railroad facilities 1t is generally admitted that
thew are needed and the belief that 1T lsony ques-
ton of time when they Will be supplied Is lsISe
locality. For tins reason the sentiment IN favor OF
the Surface Railroad bill now before the Governor,
is almost unanimous in Plne-st =,
The auction sales last week WERE larger III the
aggregate and the prices received were, as rule,
fair Important sales are promised for TINS week.
Tomorrow 800 lots iD the Grand Boulevard are 10
be sold to close the estate of George II. Peck. On
Tuesday valuable waterfront and water-grant
prooeriy in Twetth-ave.. between Eighty
sixth and Eghty-seventh sts., will be
sold The estates of the late George
Cbisterman and James Munson and some improved
dowu-town property will also come under the ham
mer. Improved property belonging to the estate OF
the late Theodore MARITIME and valuable improved
and unmprOved property from lwenty-hitn up TO
NinetIeth.st. will also be offered at auction on
Tuesday. -,
The purchase by Lucius Tuckerman OF the build
ing on the northeast corner of Broadway and Great
,Joncs.st. from Josiah Beden for $4,000 was
recorded IN the Registers OGice yesterday. Stone
