THE SANE LEADEN DULNESS.
REAL E>TATE LACKS STRENGTH IN THE MARKER
FROM SEVERAL CAUSES.

Real estate suffers with the other markets from
the seasonable dulness and light transactions ae
expected for weeks. The market lacks the
element Of strength that expectation Of early i'm
provement in rapid transit facilities would have given
it had political methods defeated the efforts Of the
majority in the Legislature to provide this boon for
New-iorl But weakness is not apparent and prices
well held in the common belief that the autumn
Will bring about increased demand Meanwhile
the summer furnishes g many of moderate means
the opportunity that may guide them without extra
expense in the work of securing cheap country or
suburban residences relief from the high rents
and high prices on Manhattan Island.
