DOWN TOWN PROPERTY PICKED UP

Que of the most important transactions in
downtown realty for some tine was con-
summated yesterday, when the property on
the northwest corner OF First avenue and
Market street, owned by the Porterields,
passed into the possession of prominent
business man, whose name is withheld by
request, at a figure approximating $4,000.
The lot has frontage OF 80 feet on Market
street and 20 on First avenue, upon which
are two three-story brick business houses of
antiquated style. This property was formerly
owned by William Holmes, brother of the late
Jane Holmes. and was used as wholesale gro
cery 30 years ago.
Another deal of some importance was also
brought to head yesterday. {. Beringer: &
Son sold for Mrs. NPsbitt farm of l0l acres

at the end of the year and are still puzzling the
minds OF good many people. Early in the
year Cherry alley was the scene of great ac-
tfvitv and, according to report numerous
properties there changed hands.
All attempts 20 discover who the buyers
were or for what purpose the property was
wanted were unavailing. A gentleman named
Clark was said to be doing the buying. but he
denied it. Public opinion then settled upon
MI. Messler. as agent for the Pennsylvania
Railroad, but he succeeded iu showing that he
had no connection with the matter, his pur.
chases being in other parts of the city and on
his own account Mr.. Pitcairn said the rail-
road had not bought foot of ground in Cherry
alley. and did not propose to. II had no use
for it.
These denials. coupled with reports of large
and frequent deals, mystited the public and
led to no end of Guessing as to what it all might
mean, but no one was able or willing TO turn on
the light. Yesterday, however, 4 real estate
broker, who claims to know all about the busi-
ness volunteered statement. which is repro
duced in substantially his own language. Said
he:
The Cherry alley deal has been greatly
overestimated. There has been no mystery
about it except in the public mind. There
were no large transactions, and only two or
three small oGes. The culored church property
was exchanged for houses and lots in another
part of the city. Two other small deals are all
can cali to mind. The Splane property was
rot eventaized OF, and it is sill on the market.
The Pennsylvania Railroad was not even men,
toned except IN the papers. There was no syn
dicate. All the buying was done by two gen.
tlcmen for speculation. They got the idea into
their heads that the alley would be widened
some time, and. they were offered the prop
critics at a low figure. concluded to take them
and await DEVELOPMENTS"
What will be done with the Splane corner?
he was asked.
There are only two or three persons who
in a position to give a definite answer to
:oIr question. and they are as close as oysters.
- own opinion IS that 1t will soon pass into
the possession of one OF the leading financers
OF the city, and that before the year expires
a fine bank building will-take the place of the
present structure. 1t is valuable property
The lot has frontage of 10 feet on Fifth ave-
nue. and a on Smithfield street. The rear por-
tion extends l20 feet along private alley. The
property as 1t stands is valued at ABOUT $780,
OOOn
To this may be added the fact tha- there was
talk at one time of using this property for hotel
purposes but the gentlemen having the matter
in charge concluded that the price was too
steep and switched off TO another site on Fifth
avenue, negotiations for Which are still in
progress
