GOOD BUSINESS IN THE HOLIDAY WEEK.


THE LAST FEW MONTHS cLosED-PREsENT
PROSPECTS BETTER THAN EVER
THE FUTURE OF THE LIB
ERTY-sT. EXCHANGE
Taking into account the fact that the las. has
been n holiday week. the revival in the real estate
market has been as remarkable as II unex-
pccted The total amount OF business transacted at
private contract reached more than 100000 for the
five days. and included in this total are some OF the
important and interesting deals completed In
the last few months Several have been under way
for a long time but when after Thanksgiving Day
they were announced as closed they had passed
on, OF remembrance and came as surprise to
many brokers.
The season between Thanksgiving and Christmas
however has In recent years been period In which
many transactions long delayed have been brought
to a successful close. and several OF last weeks
deals will furnish good beginning for this seasons
business. Chief among the operations OF the week
the sale OF the sx-story building NO 10 10 "
Bleecker-st.. and the acquisition by the seller IN
part payment for 1t OF the northeast corner OF one
hundred and -twenty-fifth-st and Park-ave Opn-
ions differ as to whether big hotel to eaten the
New-York Central trade at this point or Dig
storage warehouse Is to he erected on the Site and
the purchaser. Mr.. Chaffee has not yet himself an
nounced his intentions. The hotel. however Is by
far the lkeer project and 1t is said by one OF Mr.
Chaffees friends that the plans for its construction
already drawn.
Next to this deal in Importance In the weeks bust
the sale Of the block front in Columbus
ave. between One-hundred-and- third and One-hun-
dred- and fourth SITS, long held by the Marshall
estate. This parcel had been in the hands OF one
firm for only ten days when It was prohtably dis
posed OF. and this fact Is generally quoted by
brokers an instance OF special significance OF the
desirabilty Of the exclusive representation principle
in dsposng OF property. 1t has however long
been noticeable that the lot, with the most brokers
ate thnrn fran An.l he
