that preceded 1t. With no particularly sensational
features business has been satisfactory and steady
IN ALL branches and the activity has been felt in
all parts of the city. The market Is at present
upon a sound and safe basis. and the sales that
are being mado every day indicate perfect conf
dence in New-York realty on the part Of those
who have money to invest.

the field but now that they in II they are In
10 stay and their presence is felt They probably
realize that New-York realty Offers to-day as good
a return for their money, with as perfect safety
"a can be secured anywhere. Each week sees &
gradually increasing number OF sales for invest
ment and the purchases OF property by persons
for their own use grows corrcspondingly. The re-
suit is an ever broadening market, with every
indication pointing to continuance OF the actV1'y'
