REAL ESTATE.
vAcANT-LOT DEALING THE CHIEF FEAT
URE OF THE WEEK.


In an interesting week of real estate dealing
Norningsde Heights and the Boulevard easily held
first place. The purchase by the Clark estate
which is known 10 be careful investor or largo
holdings in the neghborhood OF Amsterdam-aVe'
and one Observation-Disclosures, IN additioh ~
nineteen boulevard lot. between One-hundredah ana
thirteenth and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES s'''
shows that the recent buyers In thar district arc
not nero spectators but people who believe that
nropcrty in that section has future wnlch IL -
hevond the power Of any temporary boom TO ar
feet The prices paid for these lots have not oeeh
revealed but the purchase money Is not likely w
be far short Of $4,000 and when 1t is remembered
that the firm OF Charles f. Schuyler q CO. mas
within the last months negotiated sales IN 'he
same region aggregating moro than |0"'""' IL WI"
be seen that the recent movement along tho Bouie-
ward has stable foundation.
Another important transaction In tho same direc-
ton ia the purchase OF the Coils p Huntington
tract Of 1876 lots in tho Twenty-thrd ward. petweeh
One hundred and -thirty-eigh,h and One-huhdreu-
and forty first SITS. east OF ST. Ann save oy hehS
Morgenthau for 100000 This will be at once pre-
pared for Improvement The purchases OF another
Fifth-ave corner and OF two In Park-aVe' tor ies'
dences have also been noteworthy.
Private dwellings have figured In the weeks bust
nes, 10 less extent than has been the case In most
recent weeks The purchase OF Riverside Drive
HON. by Henry c. Miner was the most important.
In the downtown market no sales or unusuai I'M
portance were recorded. Tho purchase OF NO lou
Bleeckerst for $4,000 was the only factor In duii
week in that section.
The principal Interest OF the week. however.
centred in the auction rooms and there II must
h. confessed the believers In Washington Heights
property suffered disappointment. The sale OF
the valuable property offered on Wednesday was
In effect a failure so far as expected outside In
vestments were concerned The attendance was not
poor but II Was apparent early In the sale thar
the owner. wished to sell only at prices up TO
their own exceedingly lofty ideas Of the value OF the
Big prices were bid but only by parties
IN interest and many outsiders who had expected
10 be able TO secure sites for homes at reasonable
price, went away disappointed In the trade 1t vas
the general comment that few more failures OF
the kind would be exceedingly bad FOR the district.
The sale OF the Htchings homestead property In
Brooklyn, on the following day was In agreeable
contrast for vould-be buyers although II Ia uues-
tonable whether the heirs were 80 contentcd. There
were many purchasers, and there Is no doubt that
almost all o. them secured bargains The salo was
successful. In fact. that one believes that
there will be no difnculty in dsposing OF every
piece o, the remainder OF tho property At tho con-
t.nuation OF the sale this week, and at fair prices.
Downtown property. however. Jared badly In the
auction rooms. on Tuesday the southwest corner
