After tne rush and excitement in the market during the Jast few days it is not surprising that @ wight lull should have encceeded. Yesterday the transactions in real estate, although comprelend- ing some valuable lots, being confined mostly, in respect to auction sales, to improved property, whieh, as there is much less inclination to buy it under the hammer than any other description, was put up mostly in single parcels, and being principally down town, of well known and deter- mined, not apeculative value, were rapidly. and without much contest bought up. As the Property thas disposed of was in the hands of three Fs ent auctioneers, each of whom mounted leak ia the Exchange salesroom pre- cisely at noon to commence his sale, the room being pretty well filied, and the audicnce much divided in judgment as to whom it was beat to attend to first, the scene of confusion referred to here yesterday was repeated, and to those on the outskirts of the crowd or about equidistant from each of the desks, it was a matter of some. difficulty to distinguish between the terms of sale of a plot of land in First street, a honse and lot onSecond avenue, or @ ‘ valuable property” on Lexington gyenue, while the close, fetid atmos- phere of the low ceilinged room, into which so inany men crowded, elbowing one another in the struggle to obtein maps, rendered it generally ancoinfertable. It is somewhat remarkable that @. class of men so numerous and whose business yields them. snch immense profits, as the auctioneers should have contented them- selves for so long @ time with the miserable quar- ters, (they canuol be called accommodations) uf. forded them in thé present Exctiange room, and that a noble building, properly constructed and appointed, has not jong since risen near the busi- ness centre of the city, adapted to their occupancy ani use, a monument atike of their taste and enter- prise and of New York's progress. There is probably no class ef men in this city whose trans. actions exceed in the grand total of dollara and« cent: the auctioneers, and those of them who deal in realestate, where sums of movey reaching as high as half a million are given for single lots, and $30,000, $50,000 or $75,000 every day matters, represent one of the largest interests ot this metropolis. It is time, then,” that they should leave “the gloomy vault now ocenpied by . them id carry forward the development of the city they have so often prophesied by an addition to its pablic buildings of one commensurate with their own ideas of its future greatness, and go cneure the comfort and couvenience alike of themselves and tueir patrons. ‘Phe character of the audience yesterday was some- what different from that of the previous two days, being mainly composed of busiuess men, with but few speculators, The usual congregation of amuall agents were present, anxious to watch the result of the sales and.learn how much higher they might venture to raise the rents of houses and stores.n their charge without danger of being told by the tenant, ‘1 won't pay it; Vil buyoa place myself."* ‘The tollowtng are the particulars of the day's sales: —.
