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.

The sale in foreclosure of No. 20 East Sixty-second street and No. 8 East Sixty- seventh street were withdrawn.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.

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. The Astor Library aud .some iirst-class business establishments connected with Leoii Young has sold for M. & rl. .£ul;y tiis uv:; stor No. 303 East disiy-liftiistreat, 2:5x100.0, to JSaiiiiibl W-.iH C.

Swartwout & Co. have sold a two-story and basement detached frame dwelling on the south side of One Hundred and Seventeenth street, east of Second avenue, 21x50, lot 25x100, to Thomas Sturgeon. Harlem brokers say that there is some inquiry for lots and dwellings during the summer, and the indications are that the fall business, both in selling and in renting, will be good and wfil commence early. Mangam & Co. have sold for Susan Bates the northwest comer of First avenue and One Hundred and Eighteenth street, 50x100, for $20,000 to John Baunon. John Stewart has sold for Wm.

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. CONVEYANCES. 1885.
