The Real Estate Record and Guide SAYS In its
last issue. in regard the real situation in
part follows:
The volume OF the recorded real estate transac-
fions continues 10 be unprecedented. Last week we
ed during the first two weeks OF 1895 80 per cent
larger than the number recorded during the
April did not maintain this percentage OF Increase
but the number both Of conYeyances and mortgages
recorded was not far from 80 per cent larger than
the figures for the corresponding week OF last year
in Brooklyn the increase is not so large 1t is in
Manhattan and The Bronx. but the number OF
transactions IS on the average about % per cent
larger than Il last year. II is improbable. OF
course, that the percentages of increase quoted
above viii be maintained unimpaired throighout
excited speculation in vacant land, which char
acterzed the real estate market March and this
pearance has not deprived the market of any OF
1ts genuine vitality 4 very large volume Of gen
era business Is Deihs LailSacteu ana II IS being
transacted on n thoroughly wholesome basis. We
cannot recall any time for many years in which 50
many different kinds OF property appeared TO be In
such excellent demand Even vacant land

sells fairly we'll when II Is pressed for sale. The
prices obtained By Mr.. Norgenthau at auction for
lots upper sth-Rve and Broadway while nothing
remarkable fairly represented the value Of vacant
land in the vicinity for Improvement. That is i'm
Instead Of being discouraged on Washington
Heights In respect to the latter section, building
plans are coming out much more freely than they
were a Few Weeks ago, ana II looks II

hoFhood curing the current year But apparently
there Is less chance than that the erection Of
cheap private dwelling houses will obtain anything
