 Times That Generally prevail.

New York, April 22.-(Special.) J. After ras1i ng through two days of comps ative inactivity the real estate market has f1niahed week replete win Interesting transactions in both the private sales and auction branches. The dullness of the first two Gcys of the week was merely the clim 1x of the gradual decline in ac- tLvity noticeable throughout the pre- ce1ing week. The caEse of all this was ajttributed to the public sale of the Enc properties, and in view of the re- merkable activity which has charac- terized the mavkc,s since the Enc holdings were disposed of it is prob able that the assigned reason was the true one.
 The general tone of the market has been as gccd as ,at any time in the last six months, and ie seems rather early to predict the immediate en- market
 The feature of the weeks market has besn the trading in vacant prop erty. The list of sales at p1i.vate con tract has been largely made up Of transactions Of this nature and sev- eral of them have been of decided inn pcrtance. The Central Park West district has been easily the leader in this movement, there having been three impOrtar'S sales Of property in that section.

Among the other sales of vacant property were these of and large plots on Broadway, both above and below Fifty-ninth street.
 Still another prominent feature of the week was the dealing in fine res idence property. Riverside Drive was the scene of many sales of this charac- ter. The most important transaction in residence property was the pur- chase by H. W. Poor of the two dwell lings, Nos 123 and 125 East Twenty first street, the homes respectively of Cyrus and David Dudley Field. The reported price was about $1S0,000
