Satisfactory evidence of a return to that long looked for con¬
dition of activity can be found in the private sales' market this
week. The transactions reported are mostly such as are effected
by the small investor, namely, flats and tenements, and while
this has been a condition which has prevailed before this season,
the speculative element were then very much in evidence, while
they now appear to have almost abandoned that class of prop¬
erty, the majority of the buyers being apparently investors.
Fifth avenue, fronting the park, again furnished the most con¬
spicuous transaction of the week, in the sale of the northeast
corner of 87th st. to Henry Phlpps for almost $500,000. In ad¬
dition to this there are a number of other transactions of almost
equal importance which will probably be closed within a week.
The elevator apartment house figured somewhat in the week's
business, and although the El Nido, at St, Nicholas avenue and
llGth St., and the "Harold," on Manhattan av. and 118th st.,
were both trades, their transfer is a distinct advantage to the
market. Besides, they give the sellers some unimproved prop¬
erty, which is a promise of further development, and some prop¬
erties which they doubtless can easily dispose of, with cash
besides. Broadway, in the fifties, again figures in the week's
business, and unless all signs fail, will continue to do so for some
weeks to come. Although there are many denials in circulation
in relation to the Chamber of Commerce site, we are informed
upon reliable authority that the old Real Estate Exchange build¬
ing has been definitely determined upon as the site; Morris K.
Jesup, as president of the Chamber of Commerce, having verb¬
ally agreed to buy It for $700,000,
The only properties offered in the auction room 'this week were
in foreclosure, parties in interest being the buyers in almost
every instance. In the coming week, almost similar conditions
as to offerings prevail, with the exception of Tuesday, for which
day several voluntary offerings are scheduled.
