THE UPTOWN MOVEMENT ofthe retafl trade has now reached 59th street, ‘and is drawing fashionable people farther uptown. ‘The important question now 1s: Where will they the east or the west slle? ‘Those who ‘Want houses of moderate price will have to go to | ‘the West side, and there alone can they find within their iaeans. The prices on the east side are high. ‘The houses are expensively bulit, and Jots are held far up ‘There is. however, a great barren track between 34 avenue and the Central Park, from 90th street Yo 115th street, which inust soon be bulit upo: and pethapsa cheaper grade of houses Will be p there.

Tt will hardly be safe to buy there in five years, and, in the meantime, prices will rise. THR WEST SIDE in New York bids fair to prove the counterpart of ‘the west end in London. In time it will be the crack neighborhood for people of wealth and posi- tion, A curious thing about New York is the manner in which its tnhabitants fall into the habit of traversing a beaten path, day after day and year after year, rematning in'utter Ignorance of the territory that les either to the right or lett of them. It ts no exagzeration to say that there are hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers who have never seen 2d avenue, though It 18 a preten- Yous and important thoroughfare. I am in the habit of Knocking about a” good deal, and yet I don’t think Ihave ever seen Avenue A, B, or C, ‘and it Was not until a Week ago that I managed to get over on the west side of town, BOOMED BY SPECULATORS. ‘This particular portion of New York owes its present popularity and tts coming greatness to a few realestate dealers and speculators. These nd down, and the location is so tar above the Shipping fnterest and ferries that private Doat- houses are not interfered with in the least by Fiver navigation, ‘TUE NEW NEW YoRK. ‘The vast tract of land lying between West End avenue and Central Park has also been invaded by capitalists, and row after row of houses has gone up in the most mysterious manner. The last time I was up there I found a city of 100,000 in- habitants where nothing but fields extsted before the advent of the elevated roads, Row after row of four-story brownstone houses stretched in every direction as faras the eye could reach. Many of them could have been bought for $15,000 the Year after they were put up, but it will take at least $35,000 to con aby of the owners that they ought to sell out today. Where on earth all the money comes from 1s a mystery to a man who considers $1,000 a reasonably large and inspiring sum of money. I fell to talking with a commission merchant, whom I met accidentally 10 the new New York on’the west side. I asked him if he wasn’t lonely up here. F Twas,” he sala, with a grin, “1 should rather say I w “people, people everywhere and not a drop to drink. "That's the jreason I came up here. Down town It was so easy to fall by the wayside, and fall everlastingly through the green baize doors, that I found inyself slowly but surely winning first place in a competitive examination for & Grunkard’s grave. ‘The difficulty of walking up town without encountering grief and disaster was aS great as the impossibility of staying home nights, You say you wonder how so many men of Umited means can afford to occupy whole houses up here, instead of flats down town, and that little fact explains it all. Up here we eat, gossip and sleep. here is not the least opporvunity in the World to spend money; we go to bed early and live the humdrum lives of the country villagers. A man can afford anything on earth when he does that. Of course it 1s stupid, but it 1s also bene- ficial. There are two topic3 of conversation on the west side; one is real estate and the other 1s your neighbor.” ‘A PROFITABLE TRANSACTION. ‘Then he told me about the sale that the Astors had made a day ‘or two before, In 1857 they bought a fleld on what is now 114th street, and Paid $9,000 for it.
