THE WEEK IN REALTY.
STEADY BUSINESS. BUT NO sENsA-
TIONAL SALES

TIONAL SALES
At private contract the business OF the last week
has been entirely satisfactory to those who have
learned 10 look at the market from other than q
narrow point. Of view To many persons the alb
sence OF sensational features at suggests dull
ness and gives impression that trading In gen.
eral has almost ceased This Is often far from be-
Ing the case. and the old saying that lone swal-
low does not make a summer" finds no better ex-
emplihcaton than In the real estate field.
The fact that one or two big sales transactions
announced in a week is a long way from ndi-
eating that business In general Is good. Such sales
may be OF interest to the public and thoy no doubt
cause for qualification TO the brokers who
realize the accompanying commissions. but to the
rank and file OF those engaged in the real estate
business they mean nothing. The business or the
last week points to a continuance OF fairly active
conditions into the summer.
Among the private sales Of unimproved property
last week may be mentioned the transactions in
volving the northwest corner OF Broadway and
Ninety-seventh-st.. the south corner Of Central
Park West and Ninety-second-st and the NORTH
corner OF Riverside Drive and Ninety -fourth-st.
