THE WEEK IN REALTY.
MORE GENERALLY ACTIVE MAR
hET. IN WHICH WEST SIDE
PROPERTY LEADS.

/ A decidedly healthy condition prevailed in the
/ rear estate market last week and the record OF
/ safes gave evidences Of a general. though
serVative, revival of interest, in which all classes
J OF property shared Flat and apartment houses,
private dwelling houses business property and va
/ cant lots all figured in the transactions and sew
I eraI deals which had been hanging fire for months
were closed. While brokers regard the outlook
/ more promising none Of them anticipate anything
/ resembling boom. The attitude OF prospective
/ purchasers is Tar too hesitating and uncertain in
We" OF the impending election TO justify any such
/ expectation and while few owners Of realty or
! intending purchasers will admit for moment that
me chances Of Bryans election are worth serious
consideration these very persons, despite their
sermons OF confidence, prefer to wait until after
+ 1neeiecCon before increasing their holdings
For the last few months real estate operators
ana spectators have suffered more than any other
class or people interested in the market. The buy
ING OF Manhattan realty has been on such limited
scale mat many OF the best inform ed and shrewd-
est dealers have been unable to dispose Of their
Parcels at profit. and have. in many cases, found
II a serious burden 10 carry their holdings through
me duI period. to say nothing OF making any
ei4ort 10 add to their speculative properties This
condition. however has not been sufficiently seri-
Gus TO Introduce any disturbing element into a
ouI though firm market. the only result being
Ae" more foreclosure sales than usual in cases
! where spectators have dealt IN small margins.

the first ten blocks north OF Flfty-ninth-st only
total Of 100 feet front available for building and
there is no vacant corner until the Seventies are
reached. The building Of paatiaI houses along the
easterIy side Of the Park has advanced so rapidly
in the last few years that the entire front from
Ftfty-ninth-st 10 Undergraduates. will undoubtedly
soon comprise one unbroken line o: the handsomest
dwelling houses in the city. There is no fear now
/ that apartment houses will eucroach upon the sec
lion, the prices for the remaining lots are pro-
hibittve except for the highest class Of private
houses.
The West Side led the market last week in point
Of activity. The sale Of small dwellings for occu-
pancy by the owners and the transfer OF apart
uenC and hathouses investors comprised the
bulk of the dealings The Equitable Life Assurance
