Real   Estate  Department.

Nearly all the sales during the past week at the Real Estate Exchange
have been foreclosures. These, however, were more numerous and realized
higher figures than those of the week preceding.

There was one sale on Saturday, by order of the receiver, it being the
three-story brick dwelling and one-story brick chapel No. 56 Monroe street,
south side, about 170 east of Market street. It was sold to plaintiff for
$12,500.

On Monday the partition sale of the two three-story brick tenements
Nos. 2340 and 2342 Second avenue, northeast corner of One Hundred and
Twentieth street, 40.11x80, took place, which sold to the plaintiff for
$21,000. No. 140 East One Hundred and Seventeenth street, 16.2x100.11,
containing a three-story brick dwelling, realized $7,600, Ifc was bought by
Myer Hellman. Two lots on the Edgcombe road, east side, 632.7 feet north
from the centre line of One Hundred and Sixty-second street, each 25x124.6,
were bought by William H. Gardiner for $1,420 each. Tha foreclosure sale
of a plot 100x150 on the east side of Railroad avenue, north of the Quarry
road, upon which $1,720 was due, was sold to plaintiff for $2,300. The sale
in foreclosure of No. 20 East Sixty-second street and No. 8 East Sixty-
seventh street were withdrawn.

Tuesday was a busy day, comparatively. The most important transac¬
tion was the sale, under foreclosure, of six three-story brick unfinished houses
on West One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street. No. 313, on which $8,770
was due, was sold to H. P. S. Wheeler for $11,100. Nos. 319, 321, 323, 325
and 327, the incmnbrance on each amounting to $8,750, realized the foUow¬
ing figures: No. 319, $9,500; No. 321, $11,000; No. 323 sold for $10,600; No.
325 for $9,250, and No. 327 for $10,450. The right, title and interest of
Tenbrook Van Vieck in No. 127 Greene street, west side, 170 north of Prince
street, being a five-story iron front store, upon which $"3,180 was due,
realized $1,000, and was bought by W, H. Brooks. The foreclosure sale of
No. 1114 First avenue, northeast corner of Sixty-first street, was adjourned
to August 3d.
There were no sales on Wednesday.

There was only one sale on Thursday, which was the sale in partition of
No. 91 Second avenue, west side, 48.6 feet north of Fifth street, containing
a four-story brick dwelling, and No. 93 Columbia street, west side, near
Stanton street, with a fom*-story brick tenement on front and a three-story
brick tenement on rear of lot. The sale was well attended, and the Second
avenue property realized $21,600. Chas. Miehling was the purchaser. The
price was considered very good. Two years ago, April, 1884. the adjoining
house, No. 93, same size, sold for $ 18,625. The Columbia street property
was|bought by A. Stern for $14,100.

There were no sales yesterday, the announced foreclosure of No. 124 West
Forty-fifth street being adjourned sine die.

Investors in the best kind of property would do well to pay especial
attention to the partition sale which takes place next Tuesday, August 3,
of very desirable property on Bond and Great Jones streets. This neigh¬
borhood is undergoing a rapid transformation, and has business possibili¬
ties in the future which make it very tempting to the far-seeing investor.
The construction of the Devinne building, at the corner of Lafayette
place and Easfc Fourth street, marks a new era in property hereabouts.
Some day Lafayette place will be extended north and south, and form
part of a great thoroughfare between the Harlem River and the Brooklyn
Bridge, to the great advantage of all the property lying sonth of Eighth
street and between Broadwa,y and the Bowery. Indeed this section of the
city has been too long neglected; but onco improvement sets in, it promises
to be very rapid, it will be a region not so much for dwelUngs as for
special industries, such as printing, bookbinding and publishing ware¬
houses, for special lines of wholesale goods, faccories, shops, and the Uke.

Second avenue, 21x50, lot 25x100, to Thomas Sturgeon.

during the summer, and the indications are that the fall business, both in
selling and in renting, will be good and wfil commence early.

N. Briggs has sold the premises No. 61, 63 and 65 Cannon street, 52x100,
with old buUdings, for J20,000 to Jacob Rubenstein.

We are informed upon undoubted authority that the statements made in
the New York Herald on Monday last, with reference to the aUeged inten¬
tion of John Jacob Astor to buUd a large private residence on Riverside
Drive for himself and another for his son WUUam Waldorf Astor,
ex-United States Minister to Italy, are absolutely incorrect. The title to
the lots in question was passed December 16, 1885, and have since been
held for invesfcment. Our authority has no doubt that the article referred
to was probably published for speculative reasons.
