Activity in farm properties has been the feature of the past week in Brooklyn realty, several farms being bought up by well- known operators for development or investment. The coming week is expected to bring the announcement of other deals in these holdings, which are now being worked up by the brokers. At the present rate it will not be many weeks before all farm properties in this borough have passed out of the control of the original farm owners. Through McNulty & Fitzgerald contracts have been signed for the sale of the farm of the late General Slocum. This property is situated in the old town of Gravesend, and consists of some thirty-four acres. It is just north of Kings Highway, on which it has a frontage of several blocks. To the north it extends to a point midway between Avenues P and O. On the the west it is bounded partly by Ocean parkway and partly by East Sth st., while on the east a portion runs as far as Coney Island av. and another part to East 4th st.

One of them, belonging to Cornelius Stryker, consists of 56 acres, with a front¬ age of 4,000 feet on the east side of Coney Island avenue, between Neck road and Coney Island Creek, running back to Sheepshead Bay. This was sold to William G. Gilmore for about $2,200 per acre. The other, belonging to Mary Stryker, has about 40 itcres, and is situated just opposite the Cornelius Stryker piece, with a frontage of 4,000 feet on the west side of Coney Island ave¬ nue. The purchaser of this tract was Desmond Dunne, and the price paid was about $2,200 per acre. Both of these farms have been held In the Stryker family since the early part of thelast cen¬ tury. They were conveyed to the original Stryker settler in 1720 by Richard Stillwell. Robert Sprague Hall, of Boston, who figures as the purchaser in all deals by Wood, Harmon & Co., has bought the Wm, H. Kou-' wenhoven farm, situated in the old town of Flatlands (32d ward), consisting of about thirty acres.
