INCREASE IN TRADING
NortherIy Zones Scenes oil
Considerable Activity.

There was a most noticeable increase in
realty trading last week in Manhattan
and The Bronx
Larger volume than in the previous
weeks of the fall season was not the only
pleasing feature, either.
The quality of the majority of transac-
tions was higher than those which formed
the budgets OF local operations In the
last month. And the general aspect OF
conditions indicated broadening of ac-
tivity.
1t looked last week as if the fall buy
ing season had acquired lot OF principal
characteristics that are usually found to
be among the inherent possessions OF the
market at this time OF year.
Once more the upper West Side gave
good account OF It's drawing power This
constant revelation of its realty charms
long ago became habit. So If the situ-
alton in the district last week had been
other than satisfactory, most of the realty
leaders would have received one of the
biggest surprises of the year.

the section were also made.
In the Central Fifth avenue district
there was considerable activity rejecting
excellent rental conditions and the pos
sibility OF more opportunities for specula-
tive building projects than many experts
ON such subjects thought there were.
Some of the realty leaders recently as
serted that certain sections of the city
are overbuit but not one OF their views
relates TO that part of Fifth avenue Just
north Of I'D street. 1t was that part OF
this great shopping district of New York

With the offering at auction Of the
Schmitt and Forster holdings in the River
dale section, scheduled by Joseph p. Day
for November u, there will take place
what is likely to be the last large public
sale of Broadway property for good
many years.
A glance at the map is sufficient u
show that Broadway in Manhattan no
longer affords any land for subdivision
and sale In small parcels. Beyond the
ship canal Broadway is bordered along
the eastery side by Van Cortlandt Park
practically the entire distance to the
Yonkers line On the westerly side Of the
city's main highway north of Kingsbridge
in the last few years sales have left few
properties in first hands, with the excep-
ton of those to be sold next month. To
the north between the Forster and
Schmitt properties and the city line Is I
tract held by the American Real Estate
Company, and to the south are the large
holdings of the Delafields, the Good
ridges and others. The Delafield estate
has already undertaken the development
and Improvement Of some OF its property,
and 1t Is thought highly improbable that
any Of the other large landed proprietors
Of Riverdale will consider any early
breaking up Of their estates.
The Forster and Schmitt properties have
come into the market at this time as the
result of a peculiar combination OF cir
cumstances, and one which promises I'M
h1IVpra
The Schmitt lots are to be sold by order
of John Whalen as trustee for the benefit
of the creditors of Charles ]. Schmitt.
Mr.. Forster, hearing of the plan to sell
the schmitt property. asked Mr.. Day to
include his lots and houses In the offer
ing and to sell them for what they would
bring, in order that he may be relieved
Of responsibility and the care and be free
to seek health in a more suspicious cli-
mate.
Taken together, the Forster and the
Schmitt holdings make up tract having
unusual characteristics. The auction will
cover in all AGA lots and nine houses, but
for those who realize the Importance Of.
Broadway I'm the future development of
that section the fact that the offering will
include fifty lots fronting on Broadway
eleven Broadway corners), is perhaps OF
greater significance. 1t has been pointed
out that this stretch of Broadway has

future OF unusual promise. Not only 10
1t to become the main business thorough
fare OF the district, but, II II is to follow
the history of other sections further
south. IL will also have large element
of value by reason of its availability for
high class residential apartment house
improvement.
At the westerly boundary of the Forster
and Schmitt properties is Riverside ave-
nue., about midway between Broadway
and the Hudson River and traversing the
whole of the beautiful region, which has
long been famous for its many old estates
and its many beautiful homes.
Fourteen OF the lots to be sold are on
Riverdale avenue. or the remainder,
twenty-seven are on 2o9th street. sixty
two on 26Oth street, twenty-five on 26lst
street and nine on MoshoIu avenue, the
main driveway through Van Cortiandt
Park Thus it is apparent that large
part of this property is situated on the
main thoroughfare Of this section.
The entire district has an elevation OF
from 100 to $50 feet above tide water
and It is ideally situated as far as drain
age and the physical features are con-
cerned About $4,000 has been expended
for the same by the owners in surface
and sub-surface improvements. Some OK
the streets and avenues have been
severed, graded. curbed and tagged, and
the assessments have been paid, while
others are yet In their rough state.
The houses to be included In the sale
are of unique type, and represent an
effort on the part Of Mr. Forster and his
architect E. 8. Child, to create two
family dwelling house particularly suited
to the attractive surrounding OF this
locality, with floors rented at $50 a month
each.
In it's transit facilities the Riverdale
territory enjoys the advantage OF being
accessible by any one Of the several
routes. From the subway terminus at
242d street 1t is three minutes trolley ride
or perhaps ten minutes walk. to the prop
erty. The Mosholu station on the Putnam
division Of the New York Central Rail-
road is two minutes walk, and from the
Riverdale side of the properties less than
seven or eight minutes walk will bring
one to the Mount ST. Vincent station on
the New York Central e. Hudson River
line In addition to these routes, almost
every Bronx trolley line gives transfers
to the Broadway and Yonkers line.
