8 REAL ESTATE MATTERS. eee Increased activity continues to be the distingutsh- ing characteristic of the real estate market, Refer- ence was made here a shert time since to the vary- ing currents of speculative activity in this market, which, as in the stock market, produce different de- grees of interest in relation to the various deserip- tons of property. The exciting causes to these pe- cullar preferences are here, as there, based upon special evidences of the increased or future proba- bie increase in vatue of thelr object, mostly exhibited Dy incidents logically resulting from such improve- ment, developing a better inquiry. The application of ‘the residents of East New York for the tucorporation ‘of that tow with the city of Brooklyn has thus been the occasion Of @ greater attention being ‘given to the past history, present condition and prospective development of that section, which already gives signs of largely stimulating the real ‘estate movement im that quarter, which we had frequent occasion, both this season and last, to com- men’ upon. Probably ne section of Brooklyn or Kings county is growing as rapidly as East New York, Embracing within its immediate limits or more closely built up district about a mile square of area, its present population is estimated at between 6,000 ‘and 7,000, but as there are closely adjoining it three other villages with an aggregate population of about 4,000, adding these to the number of the inhabitants of ‘Kast New York proper, the total population of the vil- Jage, a8 it 1s casnally regarded, may be put down at about 11,000 and its ayea two square miles. Its increase has been very rapid of late, owing to its pe- cularly favorable location as the terminus of all the Jeadivg brookiyn avenues, both m the Eastern and ‘Western districts, in all of which are horse cars run- ning every five minutes, thas making it equally con- venient for the outgrowth of the population of both sections and easy of access from all parts of the city. The already mooted project of an underground railroad, that will place it in intimate connection with the pr bridge, to whieh. reference was made here on last Monday, has likewise had ite due snare within the past year in stimulating the growth ae : ib Pg bo [ teccker, Bon & Oo. wil sali oA i y : i 53 Ef i lik ra te i Z : E : l iy i an un iE ft g Z i Hl 5 i Z| i 4 Pa iil i i ; i it Fett “Whether Prospective or a ret tive view of real estate we perceive no cor- responding period of the year w! were 60 perhaps characteristic the peculiar excitement per! prevails—it is, that jes do thetr ; for ‘we frequent t of the resale of lots that have been wot A Official Transfers of Real Estate en Satarday.

Heretofore the outgrowtn of the population at East New York nas been eastwardly, and the opening of Atiantic avenue and Fulton avenue will greatly facilitate the movement of population in that direc- Hon, But tue construction of the Canarsie Raliroad, running soucherly to the bay, has demonstrated the feasibility of making the East New York water front pepe’ miles in extent, lor coasting, commer- cial and manufacturing purposes. Since the open- jog of this railroad from Last New York to the Canarsie dock an iinportant and extensive trafic has sprung up in coal, lumber and other building materials. Extensive lumber and coal yards have been established at East New York, near ‘the Canar- sie Railroad terminus, and large quantities of lum- ber and other building materials are being distribu- ted w a wide district of country around York, the largest balf going into the city of Brooklyn § Fulton avenue, Broadway and Atlantic enue. In addition to the construction and extensive improvements of the Canarsie docks a ever an owner is found ready to seli, at dou! tn some instances, treble the prices that were ast year. This movement of yopaianes southerly—a movement not twelve moni old—will be greatly lacilitated by the oj of Paca avenue and Cy- press avenue, wh! are projected to run from At- jantic avenue, the former through Bowronsville, to accommodate the western portion of East New York, and the latter through ie Plain, to accommodate the residents of the eastern portion. AS a consequence of the Dumerous improvements, pubiic and private, which are projected and ip the course of construction, real estate is in active de- mand at constantly increasing values. On Liberty avenue and Atiantic avenue (the two most impor- tans Dene ee ye East New York) lots which ranged in year at $500 to $800 wit! sell at $1,000 $1,500, Corner lots on either avenue bring $2,000 to $3,000, and even at this dupli- cation of price the lots sell more rapidly than they did iast year. While Bast New York is thus forcing it- sel( \uto recognition in the market there 1s no abate- Inent of interest in other descriptions of real estate. in brooklyn the suburban districts lying at the other exirequlles, nawely, Gowanus op the south, and Greenpoint ou the Dorth, are ail moved by the spirit of speculation and exhibit similar signse! quickened ente , While the intermediate or central couunues Its rapid appreciation. Thus im the ir. ings announced in the auction mart for next week we have to-day the gale by Johnson & Miller of the Duryea farm, in Kast New York, comprising 250 low. The location of the is im every way irable, It is sitaated iu the most densely settled yop ee East New York, on Broad- Bay aud Union avenues, Washington, Jobn and y Streets, witnip a few munuies’ walk of the st focal point of five different railroads, and in Lhe iminediase ee churches and schools.
