THE PROMISE OF A MORE VIGOROUS
MARKET FULFILLED.


HOUSES STORES AND FACTORIES ALL IN DE-
MAND-sEvERAL IMPORTANT TRANsAc-
Troys REcoRpED-THIs WEEK IN
THE AUCTION ROOMS.
The fulfment OF the promise OF an excellent ial
market begun last week. Trahsac'ions more
numerous and involving larger amounts IMAM are
usually recorded at this time OF the year showed
that proper y-owners and investors. back early from
their vacations with the knowledge that the Tarin
bill is last law and tha, business was picking up,
are prepared to make OF their opportunities ana
that the realty market will benefit thereby Al
ready. In five transactions valuable properties nave
changed hands twice within a month
Three sales TO the plaintiffs in foreclosure suits
composed the entire business transacted in the auc-
lion rooms last week. but the private safes loi'o"-
ing those OF last week were the most important the
midsummer market has seen. Largest among the
transactions OF the week were the deals by which
the Rourke Cochran residences In ,hls city and In
Washington were exchanged for business property
in Wavcrley Place. the disposal by the Bank for
Savings of its Rleccker-st. property ard the pur-
chase by a wci-known firm Of asphalt manuiactu-
of site Of the Harlem River for their plant.
In addition. however. severa pieces OF excellent
business property have found new owners: lots by
the dozen have been bought for Improvement. and
several large plots have changed hands.
The most positive Indication however. OF the I'M
provement in business is that renting has improved
greatly In the last week. much earlier period than
recent years. Almost every broker engaged In
this branch Of business reports better renting in
houses. in retail stores and in offs. stores and
offices In the mercantile district than b" has ever
known at this season OF the year. The fact bears
eloquent testimony that general business is rapidly
improving. and rea, estate is beginning to get the
benefit of il.
