About 200 persons attended, who, upon their arrival on the ground, were furnished with a liberal and substantial lunch, after which the sale was proceeded with. Two hundred and sixteen lots had been offered and disposed of up to twenty min- utes past one o’clock, when the heavy shower that came on necessitated an adjournment, which was accordingly had to Monday, the 14th inst., when the balance of the lots will be sold. The bidding throughout was animated and spirited, and the prices obtained most satisfactory, without extrava- gant appreciation. Before the auctioneers left the ground the whole of the ten per cents were paid in, the party returning to the city at an early hour, gratified alike at their excursion and its results. At the salearooms in the city the dealinga were light, comprising three lots of unimproved city pro- perty, a lease of eight lots up town ‘‘by order of the Sheriff.” and a part of the Kingsland mgnor estate. Particulars of all of these sales are subjoied, ‘The renewal of activity in the real estate market, epeually in suburban property, before noticed in column, 1s 80 remarkable tn its exhibition, after the prostration of the past couple of months, as to have provoked very general and extended notice, The following, from @ late number of the Evening Telegram, presents a fair view of the situation and ate prone le consequences:—“Within @ short pe. a very decided improvement 1s noticeable in the real estate market.

All of these, with rare bei gente i have taken place on the ground disposed of, while the company assembled has been com) iargely of substantial men seeking safe and profitable in- vestinent for their capital, or of those desirous of securing suitable plots for the erection of comfort- able and enduring homes.

Nor do the prices exhibit the dangerous feature of undue inflation, but, on the contrary, 4 willingness on the part of owners to be satisiied with a just and legitimate return upon the expense of their enterprise in bringing these large tracts into the market, with a fair advance upon the previous cost of the Jand. ‘The tendency of this condition of things, which has been ripening to its present fral- tion for @ month past, 18 to cause the promise of a continued busy season. This is to be found tn the annoucements of sales to be heid during this and succeeding weeks, of property in New Jersey, on all the several lines of railroad there, im Westchester county and Long Island, while even the large Ugg of Staten Island, percelv- ing we combination of favorabie circumstances above pointed out, deem it the Lei opportunity to offer a portion of their choice and hitherto reserved grounds tothe public. The dealings in suburban property will probabiy continue for a couple of months yet, after which and before the opening of the fall business a stort vacation intervenes, The unprovement mani‘ested now can but have its infu- ence then, and with the lessons of the spring and suiumer contrasted, cnnuot fail to prepare the wa: for « revival of activity in elty property in the addl- tiona! knowledge gained by both buyer and seller of the réal conditions of the market.” To-day two important Sales are to be held out of town, one of lots at North Elizabeth, N.

The eleventh annual report of the Chamber of Com- merce of the State of New York for the year ending May 1, 1€69, has just been issued. It forms a hand- some volume of 250 pages, the first 100 of which are devoted to detailed reports of the regular and special meetings of the Chamber during the year, and the remainder of the book is occupied with exhaustivé special reports on various branches of trade and sta- tistics of trade and finance. The report giving a general review of the proceed- ings of the Chamber during the year is included, but from the very full reports of the vari- ous meetings the following lst of some of the most important deliberations and recommenda- tions of the Chamber ig gleaned. On May 2, 1868, a special comm! to which{had been referred a let- ter from Uni States Senator Morgan upon the ggaetil subject of immigration, reported that the faws relating to the carriage of passengers, as en- acted by the European governments, are well calcu- lated to secure to emigrants to this country ail the safety and comfort which can reasonably be claimed, and that the complaints arise not so much from an absence of proper regulations in the ports of em- barkation as from gross violations of existing laws $ therefore the committee recommended that negotiations be entered into with Euro- in governments, especially with those of jreat Britain and Germany, with the ob- Ject of securing a more rigid observance of the laws referred to. On the 7th of May, 1868, Congress was memorialized to erect a new and more commo- dious Post Office building to accommodate the im- rtant and increasing business of that department in this city. At the same meeting a long and inte- resting letter from the Chamber of Commerce of Geneva was read, which earnestly recommended in the interest of commerce the rapid contraction of the paver currency of the Uni States. George W. unt was unanimously re-elected a member of the Board of Coramissioners of Pilots for the term of two years at & special meeting, called for the purpose of holding such election, May 23d, 1868, At the fs tary 8 meeting held June 7, 1868, a resolution was ‘0 the effect that a high tax on distilled spirits ad been demonstrated a failure, and advising a re- duction of the tax to fifty cents per proof gallon. A peer committee of the Chamber waited upon the Chinese Embassy, then just arrived in New York, and were received by Mr. Burlingame with every mark of distinguished consideration. No meetings were held dur! the months of July and August, many of the merchants being absent from the city. At the request of Mr. George W. McLean, Street Commissioner, one member of the Chamber was appointed November 6, 1868, to serve on @ commission of three to investigate the charges made by the Citizens’ Asso- clation against that officer of mismanagement of the wharves and piers. The services of this com- mission were afterward declined by Mr. McLean. On January 7, 1869, Congress was memorialized to eo the New York, Newfoundland and London ‘elegraph Company to land its cable on United States shores, At the samefmeecting a special committee, previously appotnted to consider the propriety of selling the Battery grounds to the general govern- ment for Custom House purposes, reported ad- versely to any action of the Chamber that time. The subject of recommending a feasible plan for the rapid contraction of tne United States currency occupied the three meetings held January 1, 21 and 28, At length a concise pi me for attaining the desired result, offered by Mr. Jonathan Sturges, was embodied in a resolution and iorwarded to Congress as the sense of the Chamber. February 4, 1869, resolutions were ad deprecating secret sales of government bonds and gold by the Treasury Department, and earnestly recommending the passage of a bill then under discussion, forbidding such sales, 18, 1869, @ resolution was p: declaring 3 proposed East river bridge would prove of incalcu- labie benefit as a means og a without materially affecting navigation, March 4, 1869, special committee appointed to investigate the points of difference between the Chamber of Com- e mber had 8 IY Op vate I lation and government subsidies anth the country was in a better condition to liquidate its own in- debtedness in coin, while the latver had advo- cated such measures. A motion to withdraw from the National Board of Trade was laid upon the table. The attention of the Superintendent of the United States oe ee. iy 3 called, by a resolution passed } y , tothe apparent chai in: on inthe physical formation of New York 2 arbor and its entrances, which ew to seriously im- pede commerce. April 1, 1869, @ resolution was assed recommending the passage by the State islature of a bill then pending, “to prevent en- croachtnents in the harbor of New York and to cor- rect the Harbor Commissioners’ lines.’ MARRIAGES AND DEATHS.
