REAL ESTATE Is STRONG
Market Active at High Prices
Fulton Street Property Sold.

The stability of the real estate market was
clearly shown yesterday by the character Of
the business transacted in the day. Moreover.
orders were received by many brokers to buy
large speculative or investment parcels provided
there was slight decline IN values The IN
quirers have been active in Wall street for
some months. They said they want to buy a
little below present values.
It is the general opinion OF many realty lead
ers that real estate values are likely to increase
rapidly and therefore these orders will not be
filled. Good and in many cases excellent prices
were obtained yesterday for every parcel sold.
Mrs. Mary A. f. Brinckerhoff made a large
profit by selling No. IT'S Fulton street, four
story business building on lot % by a feet.
to the Admiral Realty Company, represented by
Well. Wolf & Kramer She got about $4,000
for the property. She bought the parcel in lSS2
for $4,000. The realty records show that title
to the premises was transferred by Aaron Burr
in 1877 for S10.J00 and three years later re-
transferred for $3.50. In 1911 the poperty was
sold for S115o0 and in 1923 for, $4,000. The
New York Law School recently bought Nos. 1I2
and ia Fulton street for about S325,0OO as
site for new home for the school.
A mortgage of $4,000 at IA per cent on
the premises at the northeast corner Of Both
street ana Fifth avenue was recorded yester-
day. In 1910 John Hunt bought the property
for S2,40O. Mr.. Hunt was thought to be insane
because Of that and other similar purchases. In
September 1858. the property was sold for
$4,000. 1t is valued at over $4,000
front foot.
In the auction salesrooms yesterday there was
a long list Of offerings. In some cases parcels
were sold for at least 20 per cent more than it
was thought they would bring. The offerings
were sold at the stands of Bryan L. Kennedy
and Joseph p. Day
Frank E. Malone leased for the Wendell estate
the big garage at the southeast corner of cd
street and Broadway. for $4,000 a year, to the
