The real estate market during the past week has not been remarkalDJe, either for activity or for the occurrence of the usual number of large saies. Trading has been rauch restricted both as to the nature ol the property sold and its location. At least four out of every flve items published have had to do with residences situated on side streets near 5th av. and north of oClth st—the region which has been the seat of such a large amount of trading during the past year. None of these items are, however, worthy of special note. They merely illustrate the fact that the prevailing deraand for dwelling houses is con¬ fined largely to the centra! district and the East Side; and there are many indications that this demand is not yet by any mears diminishing. The one transaction of the week which assumes any special prominence is the purchase by the Rapid Transit Subway Construction Company of a parcel of land, 800x20'). at the foot of West 59th st, as the location of the main power-house of the new system. The meaning of this purchase is so obvious that it is scarcely necessary to comment on it from a purely real estate point of view. It need only he remarked that the location of the power-house in that vicinity will beneflt the neighborhood, hoth by creating a large dt-mand for labor, and by the tendency to improvement which an important public work always bestows upon its surroundings. It is stated that the building to he erected will not only be a useful, but an or¬ namental structure—as is provided for in the fui.owing clause la the Rapid Transit contract: "The railway and it,:i equiiimeni aa contemplated by the contract constitute a great puOliu work. All parts of the structure, where expust'd to public sight, shall, therefore, be designed,constructed and maintained with a vii w to the beauty of their appearance, as well as to their efiiclency." This is certainly a salutary provision, and what a difference It would have made to the good looks of New York had a similar condition been imposed upon the designers of the siructure and stations of the elevated roads. New York is certainly, on the whole, keeping house better than it did twenty, or even ten years ago. One other piece of newa deserves some comn-.ent. It is stated that the Philadelphia firm of Snellenberg & Co. are not going to continue the lease of the IMcCreery store, on Broadway and Ilth st, which they secured last year, which does not speat well for retail trade in that vicinity.
