A prominent east side real estate owner and lawyer states that within a period of ten days twenty-seven conti acts for the sale of real estate ha:ve been drawn in his office, and in every case the consideration was to be cash. In his opinion the money that has been paid out in January interest is not going mainly into stocks, but into real estate, and the redemption of $6,000,000 of United States bonds wiU set free enough more here to fully sustain the market. Gustav Amberg, manager of the Thalia Theatre on the Bowery, has leased Irving Hall and a house adjoining the hall at No. Ill Earter recently he is said to have announced that the work of alteration will be begun in AprU and the house opened to the pubUc in October.

When they are completed the house will have thirty proscenium boxes and will seat 3,200 people. Mr. Amberg saj s he was induced to take hold of this project by the very general wish expressed by the better class of the German population for some up-town theatre where opera might be rendered in German.
