REAL ESTATE MATTERS, Opening of the Real Estate Season of 1870— External Influences Upon the Market— Prospects for the Spring—City and Suburban Property. The pending legislation in Congress upon the Anancial situation has thus far worked injuriously to the real estate interests, Usualiy the market showed Incipient activity in December, beginning then with city property, and with an interval of dulness about ‘the period of the holidays blossomed into quite an animated condition during the’ months of January and February, and reached a perfect fruition about April or May. Following these traditions last year 4n its opening stages of development, it suffered a@ @evere blignt in March, the result of too much fore- ing, and since then, with exceptions in certain directions, or, to carry out the figure, exceptional species, has been in a languidand rather unprodue- tive condition. The particular reasons which Drought about the collapse of last spring are per- haps too well known to need repetition, but as they have a certain reference to the present. condition of the marcet somo BEOAPITULATION of them at this time may not be entirely mal- apropos, srom whe commencement of the movement im real estate in Decemd 1868, there entered into the markets a large Speculative interest, and as the season advanced this ‘increased until it assumed the proportions of the ‘wildest excitement on the Stock Exchange. There @an be No doubt thas it was stimulated toa great ex- ent by the fact that the leading journals of the city, ‘Which had for some time given but indifferent and casual reports of real estate dealings, following in the wake of the HeraLp, which finding thia interest growing again into prominence, revived its former elaborate reports of transactions, by the full tran- ecript they gave from day to day of agies, attracted public attention to the market, and brought in an ermy of purchasers who otherwise might have re- mained unconsctous of the opportunities for prefita- Die investment which real estate on this island and in Ita vicinity afforded. There isno good, however, ‘Without its alloy, and:the active inquiry which was thus brought out, proved an opportunity for THOUSANDS OF SPECULATORS ‘on smalt capital, some of them without any, to make money by purchasing desirable lots and hold- 4ng them over for ruture s: This gave rise to the contract system, which was nothing more than a “bold speculative risk assumed by certain operators ‘who bought lots at auction ,and by paying the auc- tioneer’s fees, and the requisite deposit, obtained control of many desirable lots in the expectation that between the time of thelr purchase and the time when they would be called on to receive the Qeed they would be able tosell again at a fair prot. ‘This proved, in tne prevailing excttement, in very many causes, most successful speculative ventures, @nd as this success of some ended in increasing the number of such speculators, and in keeping alive the excitement, it proved very remunerative for some months. When it had calminatea, however, and from the number thus engaged in bailing the market, bona-jide purchasers had become alarmed and were holding aloof, holders of real estate not appreciating the real temper of the market, and, be- leving the falling off inthe inquiry was without cause, Sought to galvanize the growing dormant feeling of the market inte renewed excitement by BOGUS SALES, property not always the most desirable being offered in large invoices, and almost unblusningly ‘bid up in the interest of the owners, and bought in ‘with a view to create a fictitious valuation which tn many cases it did not deserve, This did not last long; and about March came a perfect suspension of Gealings, the real purchasers withdrawing in dis- gust at the Peter Funk manner to which auction dealings were being conducted. Since then the market, except for certain kinds of suburban pro- erty, hag been heavy and dull, and during last sum- mer and fall, and almost up to this period of the current winter, transactions, with these exceptions, have been almost exceptional, and at auction mainly Confined to court sales. It is noticeable, however, that during this time the market has preserved its firmness, and but few concessions have been made by holders in disposing of good located city pro- perty. The deciine in gold following THE SEPTEMBER PANIC was one strong influence in maintaining the stagna- tion In the real estate market which followed the culmination of the spring excitement during the early winter months. In the first place the appre- ciation of greenbacks incident to the rapid and very considerable failing off in the gold premium was thought to furnish a principal condition, from which @ decline im real estate would follow as a necessary corrollary. The fear likewise created by this unex- pected tarn in gold values, of a rapid run to specie payments, aided to repress transactions, which was still further heiped even after such a consummation ‘Was proven unlikely by PENDING FINANCIAL LEGISLATION in Congress. The various propositions made to fund the national debt at a lower rate of interest unsettled realestate values by the prospect afforded of a transfer of much capital from governments, which would thus become less profitable as invest ments, especially to American holders, the decrease in the interest at present paid, owing to the decline * $n gold already secured, being iikewise operative in the samesense. The conflict between the infiation- Ista and contractionists in Congress, and tne un- certainty felt as to their relative strength, like- wise introduced another element of disturbance in the real estate market, as pending the settlement of @ question calculated to exercise so important an influence upon all current values, capicalists be- came conservative ln regard to investments and in- disposed to enter into engagements the precise monetary price of which it was difficult to deter- mine, the VALIDITY OF THE LEGAL TENDER ACT was thought to introduce a new element of aepress- ing influence into real estate in ita effect upon old mortgages, but # careful inquiry among real estate ‘men shows that there are but few of these ante- dated to 1862 outstanding while it bas generally ‘Deen accepted that renewals since then will be re- @arded as legal tender contracts. ‘THE PRESENT CONDITION OF THE MARKBT, notwithstanding these adverse influences to activity, offers, however, every encouragement for an animated and buoyant season. Conversing witn parties who, from their position in the very centre of the trade and who can be safely considered without bias for really guctioneers—we confess we derive much of our information from them—having no special interest in either a strong or weak market, the offerings in either case being about equal, we Rave asked “What do you consider are the prospects of the real estate Market this season?” “Well,” we have been answered, ‘from the latest observations we think the indications are for an ac- tive market this spring.’? ‘There is certainly very much less excitement now than there was this time last year, but chen that was exceptional and unhealthy. Real estate now, having recovered from the feverish excitement o1 tne speculative fever of that interval, has assumeda firm baste. i property can command to-day a fair price, and one profitable'to the present offerer. There may be instances where undue prices were | paid, which cannot now be realized, but there is very little property on this isignd now offered at thing like a sacrifice, or even a concession, and nolders, if they cannot obtain the price they de- mand, are not willing tosell. - This explains, as far as our observation goes, the precise conditi of the real estate market at the Present time. In reg gre pny sales of property tt should de borne in mind that localities on the isiend are subject to constant changes; hence where a depre- ciation 1a ‘apparent there may be influences at work @ suficiept solution, trom their desirability of the ‘ property, to produce a decline in its value; but taking the island asa whole its appreciation 1s without taterruption during the last twelve months and as progressive to-day as ever. We noted not long since the sale of a house and lot on Fifch ave nue for $120,000, It is quite possible if that proper- ty be sold again within five years it may not bring so much. Why? We have already statea our opinion that this avenue as a fashionable quarter is doomed. If the proposea -EXT'BNSION OF FIFTH AVENUR ‘trough Washington square aud thence through The decision of the Supreme Court upon | Laurens street and West Broadway to Greenwich Street and the Battery be.carried out, its use as & business street, already commenced, is a neces- v prises have been paid as j Ad residences may fat! to realize past figures as business sites in tne early at of this change. This, however, could not ‘with any propriety be regarded as showing @ decline sransitory depreciationd, but with the growing “com: transitory dept 101 ut witl = merce and business of Now York involve no loss to sirong holders, In an article in September we pointed out tho course of the fashionable movement up town aud selected Fifty-seventh atreet as its turning point from Filth avenue,westward towards the Boulevard, Wi then pointed out a biock of new buildings on the north side of Fifty-seventh sireet, near Ninth avenue, ‘built in the grandest style of our fasuionable modern architecture and dnished in the most elaborate pala- tial manner, as evidencing the faith which property owners upon this line held to our predictions, From . repens examination of this locality—which is just ow THE GRAND CIRCLE, and may be considered as the oucieus of the new fasbionadle quarter, three or four at least of the houses we had reference to are not exceeded in mag- nificent ensemble by any 1 the city, and give the biock an aristocratic appearance already not surpassed by any on Fifth avenue—we find our expectations re- alized much earlier than We anticipated, Since our remarks last fall were written four houses have been finished on the south side of Fifty-eighth street, and the foundations are now being prepared for ten adjoining and for five or six on the opposite side, On Fifty-seventh street, which, being a wide street, is the more attractive, foundations are bein; sunk for five more adjoimng those noticed preve: ously, and for five more on the same street, same side, west of Ninth avenue. It may be noted im connection with our previous prophecies re- specting this street thas it is wholly without im- provements deserving of that name, and as lows here @re held at suoh high firat class buildings are insured, as none others can be made to pay. " THE BOULEVARD LOTS, respecting which there was so much excitement last year, derive an additional value this year from tae completion of the sewers upon the several cross streets north of the point last mentioned. (Tuis is the most important improvement in respect to these lots in their present condition, as it obviates the only obstacle existing to immediate building im- provements. At presen, a ® consequence ef the season, this neighborhood, where no paving bas yet been done, is very unattractive, but witn a short Season of ary weather will offer far more evidences of desirability than last year. We cannot conceive of any but weak holders—and with the present ple- thora of money here offering eagerly on real estate not even they—consenting to sell these lots, after the Progress made in the Grand Drive itself and adja- Cont streets, at anything like a concession, IENERAL CITY PROPERTY 1s unmistakably firm, except, as has been said be- lore, in certain localities where the changes of business have produced such an undecided inquiry ms to create ie ey or Perpereed among ome, who, regarding only present appearances, areafrai to trust the future. on Fs THE BAST SIDE the success which has attended the blasting of tne rocks at Hell Gate has made owners sanguine of future high realizations, and but little property ts offermg. Ia fact, taking the whole market, BUT IJTTLE CITY PROPERTY 18 OFFERING thus far, eiones the inquiry 1s considerable and gives every indicatiomot an active market. 1t must be noted, however, as @ prominent Jeature of the market tor city property that there ts 4 STRONG BEAR INFLUENCE at work to induce @ belief in the decline of real estate here. A clique having the command of con- sideraole funds belonging to savings institutions, and feeling the certainty of the increase of property on this Isiand, are anxious to purchase heavily, and are exerting considerable influence to create the idea that property has gone down. They are not indisposed to invest at pe figures, but would like to buy cheaper if they could. in regard to suburban property there is not much to note yet. BROOKLYN REAL ESTATE is frm, but as yet inactive. Alot on the soutneast corner of Fulton and Vanberbilt avenues, which was pure! in 1869 for $16,000 sola this week for $16,000, but a depreciation as. great as this advance Can also be shown in various localities. The com- mencement of operations on the Brooklyn Bridge has Greatly increased the confidence of capitalists, and inquiries have been more frequent during the past ten days than for the previous three months, A number of Prospect Park jots are to be sold on Wednesday, February 23, These will be followed by sales almost every day during the months of ‘ch and April. WESTCHESTER COUNTY PROPEREY 1s inactive at the preseat time, but aa there are many projects now betore the Legislature likely to affect this 10cality we reserve 1 for another article. STATEN ISLAND has thus far found its greatest drawback from the imperfect communication existing between it and this city, but we learn from jate sources that this is to beremedied. Thus in relation to the passage of the bay it 1a proposed that powerful boats should leave the Battery and proceed to @ point on the island intermediate between New Brighton and QMrantine; here they will connect with the horse- car track, one branch of which will proceed along the north shore and the other in the opposite direc- tion. ‘The terminus of the horse-car track on the north shore is Paujus Hook, from which point-and from Port Richmond it is cosianee to bridge tne bay to the Jersey shore, one bridge extending from the latter place to Bergen Point and another from the former to Elizabeth. ‘I'ese will ‘render the island legs isolated and more attractive; for on the Jersey side passengers will proceed to New York by the Jersey Central Railroad. Nothing depopulates a locality more than slug- gish travel, and nothing insures populousness more ‘aan an easy and rapid means of transit; and 1 ts to the lack of public spirit, of vigor and of enterprise in the PrOneEy owners of the island that every lot of land is not now Of the value of the present acre, We learn likewise that the present ferry company have been making great !mprovements in their boats, and pro we to run the Josephine, which is being Oi with new boilers, to connect with the Staten Island Railroad, and a boat each half hour to the first landing. nis will afford an accommoda- tion long needed, ana one which, if turnished be- fore, would have much increased the dividend-pay- capacity of the company. »The late operations of the Quarantine ring are exciting a good deal of attention down there. The claim set up by Weiner to fifty feet of Arietta street Ravise. been disallowed by the Court, a petition is now being circulated which, we learn, has veen signed, under @ misapprehension of the tacts we are forced to believe, to induce a reconsideration of the question at issue. The trustees of Castleton deserve credit for the stand they have taken in this matter to preserve the are of the residents, insured to them by long use. The stories tgid of the original gale of this property by the Quarantine oficers Ought to have bego sufficient to induce ali the other property owners to strengthen the hands of the local authorittes rather than oppose them in thetr opposition to this gigantic swinale.

Mr. Dickens’ “pictorial Fechter has shaken the dust of unappreciative (?) Gotham from off his artistio feet, and to-night he tickles the Paritantcal dub- ites with the “trilinqual’’ brogue of his red-headed “Hamlet.” Instead of the aing-song polyglot brogue of this excructating conglomeration of artist and artiste, we are to have at Niblo’s Garden ts evening the pleasure of lstening to the unadulterated Hibernian brogue of Mr. and Mrs. Barney Wilnams, who follow Mr. Fechter this establishment, under o six weeks’ ebgagement. ‘This will be the frst appearance of these favorites at this theatre in five years, and their ‘Orst appearance in this city during the present sea- sop. Their admirers may anticipate enjoying their performances with additional zest, as their appear- ance at the Garden will introduce them to the public in a new and originai drama, by Edmund Falconer, entitled, “Innisfalien, or The Men in the Gap.’? The cast of the piece promises to be a strong one, and the scenery, which includes Yolbin’s panorama®*of the Lakes of Killarney, will, we are assured, be ex- ceedingly beautiful. bar Though Fechter bas levanted with his own new ‘Hamlet,’ we still have the equally new “famiet” of Humpty Dumpty Fox left to console us. As the melancholy Dane, Fox, it is almost needless to say, 1s wofully doleful, and is as irresistible as ever. As “Hamlet” the great clown has made “a palpable hit,” and has added another leaf to his chaplet of histrionic victories. The piece, which, by the by, promises to have a long and prosperous run, has many parts in it which, if only slightly altered, would improve it vastly. As for the graveyard scene, It should be cut out altogether. It contains no elements of fun whatever, and should never havo been lugged into the burlesqu Keeping company with the “Hamlet’*of Humpty vumpty Fox is the polished and poetic “Hamlet? of Booth, which ia still attracting large audiences, and will doubtless continue to do go for many weeks to come. Of the five “Hamlota” which last week plunged the town into unutterable anguish those of Booth and Fox are the only two now left; but these will, beyoud @ doubt, prove suficiently attractive to delight the metropolis during the continuance of cold weather, or untli some spook more pleasing in ap- pearance than that of Hamlets father rises up to awe the world. On Saturday evening next at Booth’s theatre Mrs, Emma Waller will sustain the character of Bianca, in Milman’s popular tragedy of “Fazio.” Mr. Augustine Daly’s English version of the Paris- faa sensation, “Frou Frou,” which was produced at the Fifth Avenue theatre on last Tuesday evening, bids fair to be one of the marked successes of this very unsuccessful season. Its dialogue 18 sparkling, the story of the plot nicely worked up, and the whole is handsomely illustrated with magnificent scenery. As interpreted by the excellent company at the Fifth Avenue, the play of “Frou Frou” is not only enjoyable, but 1s rendered intelligible to an American audience. It deserves to have, and it wili doubtless achieve a long run. ‘The present will be a week of variety at Wallack’s theatre, and provably the last of its Kind at this house during the present season. This evening we have “Central Park’ for the last time; to-morrow evening we are promised “‘Ours;!’ on Wednesday evening ‘Masks and Facos” will be given, for the second time; on Thuraday we are to have “fue Captain ot the Watch” and ‘‘Woodcock’s Litue Game,” and on Friday “Wild Oats.” On mentas next Boucicault’s last dramatic venture, “Lost Sea,’ wilt be produced at this house, after weeks of preparation, for the first time in this city. “Tne Twelve Temptations” of the Erie-pressible Jeemes, with all the gorgeous accompaniments of tinsel, of tulle, of gauze and of giggling girls in very short skirts, 18 still attracting large audiences tothe Grand Opera House. The elaborate scenery of the piece 18 now in smooth working order, in consequence of which it is now more enjoyabie than during its earlier representations. J¢ 1s astonishing how the town.sruns alter these centipedal extrava- gances, this at the Grand Opera House having crowded the theatre to excess every night since iis first production up to the preseat tine. ‘There ig no lack either of novelty or attraction at Wood’s Museum for the present week. Between the beasts, birds, beautiful blondes and @ thousand and one other natural and artiticial wonders and curiosi- ties, one is never at a loss here for amusement or food for thought In the dramatic department of this establishment one batch of blondes will cut up their capers this afternoon in “Lalla Rookn,” while another baton of the same yellow-haired divinities ‘Will sing and dance in the burlesque of ‘Faust’? in the evening.

The features of Wall street during the week have Deen the reallzations of the stook cliques and THE DECLINE IN GOLD. The retrograde movement in the gold market is nO part of the original plan of the majority of ope- rators who initiatea a general bull campaign in the begtnning of the year, as soon aa it was positively evident that period of easy money was at Land. When they took nold of stocks they also took hold of gold, and both were pushea with great vigor. Of the result in the stuck market we have already had proof in the generaladvance of ten to twenty-five per cent in the leading active speculative favorites. Gold, however, Was not so responsive, and moved very sluggishly. It twice touched the vicinity of 12334 after its original decline to 11934, but beyond thas point the cliques found it uphill work of a hard character, and they consequently abandoned the etfort. The market has since been in the hands of the smaller speculators and of the brokers who live by the riffing fractional fuctuations in the premium. ‘There have been intermediate movements of greater or lesser degree based on the Cuban matter and the action of Congress, but the larger operators have given their attention elsewhere. During the week which has just closed they again visited the Gold Room, but this time with opposite tactics. It may seem curious that they did not originally begin @ ‘bear’ movement, but in tne then uncertainty of the European markets, and without data to suggest the extent of our imports in the opening spring business, they hesitated to ao so, especially as @ speculation on the ‘bear’? side of gold is extremely dangerous and requires a thorough canvassing beforehand of the political and commer- elal situation. A foreign war, the death of Napoleon or many another contingency would “jump” the premium to the utter ruin of the “shorts.” When, however, it was discovered that the prospect in Europe was as peaceful as could reasonably be looked for; that the accumulation of capital was leading to @ decrease in the interest rate onthe Continent; that our imports were beginning to de- cline under the demoralization of last September's panic (thie week they are only about 55 percent of those in 1569); that the leading foreign bankers were Pressing their bills on the market; and that our ex- ports of cotton were far in advance of those of last year, their attention was directed to the Gold Room as the fleld for a “bear” campaign. That they have enlisted in the work with all their capital and enthusiasm seems evident from their unloading all the stocks which they had been carrying since New Years. The sucocss of the double movement haa so "far been rather gratifying. Moreover, the plan pro- mises to afford the cue for the specutative opera- tions of the spring and summer. When the cliques unload their stocks they have the means to “oreak’ gold; when gold is down it influences @ decline in stocks; then the cliques can buy back their stocks cheaply; their depressing efforts taken away from gold azain, up it goes once more and sends stocks up again. The pro cegs is capable of repetition until one of those acci- dents which so frequently occur interposes to spoil its working, When the cliques will be driven to con- sultation upon a new plan of campaign and a new system of tactics. The range of the gold market ts shown In the following table of the extreme fuctua- tions datiy:— Highest. Lowest, Monday. . ley 11936 Tuesday + 120 11936 Wednesday. 120 119s Tharsday . . 119 1196 Friday + 1193, 119 Saturday . 119% 118% ‘THE GOVERNMENT MARKET SENSITIVE. The struggle between the rival operators in the government market bas been of an interesting char- acter, and transactions at the government board bave been for the most part purely on speculative account, the outside investment demand betag for the time suspended, abiding the result. Congress and the Cuban question, the national Onances, the European situation, and, in fact, all auxiliaries to the Contest, have been employed on eithér side. For a ay the pattie would be with the ‘*bulis.’? On the next the tide would turn against them. Despite ali this energy, or rather by reason of s0 much effort on either side, prices moved within an extreme of less than one per cent, the advantages, if any, being With the “bulls,” whose cause recetved the sudden support of a sharp advance aoroad in American se- curities, the five-twenties in London touching the remarkable price of 8834. This diversion drove the ‘pears’ to join the stock cliques in, if It did not suggest to them, the movement against gold; for governments are curious in their movements, being likely to fall with gold, but to rise with the foreign demand. The market on Saturday “left of” in such @ situation that if anything occurred to stop the downward tendency of gold and steady the market governments would go Up with balloon-like buoyancy on acccount of the strength of the foreign quotations. The following were the closing street prices on Saturaay:-—United States currency sixes, 1114 a 111%; do. sixes, 1881, registered, 1173 a 118; do. do., coupon, 117% a 117%; do, five-twenties, registered, May and November, 114 a 114; do. do., 1862, coupon, do.,.1163¢ @ 115%; do. do., 1864, do, do., 11di¢ 8 114%; do, do., 1865, do. ao., 114% 9114}; do. do., registered, January and Juiy, 112% #113%; do. do., 1865, coupon, do,, 112 @ 1154; do. do., 1867, do. do., 1133% @ 113%; do. do., 1868, ao. do., 113% a 113 do. ten-forties, registered, 1094 @ 100%; do. do., coupon, 112}, a 112%, THE DECLINE IN STOCKS. The week has beeo one of steady and general realization among the stock cliques, aud prices at the lowest were from two to six per cent below the best made siace the commencement of the “bull’? campaign. The decline 14 not a large one, consider- ing the point from which the market starced, but the cliques, having got out of stocks themselves, are enaeavoring to tnduce the street to sell ‘short’! at the decitne. Hence the ‘bearish’ inclination of the speculative mind im the latter portion of the week. After the bank statement the market was buoyant and strong, but dull, few having courage in the present situation of the stock market to take a bold step either way. The outside public are afraid to buy lest the cliques should continue to let down prices, and are afraid to sell lest they shonld be “twisted.” In assisting to a knowledge of the situation it may be interesting to know that the prominent clique houses were heavy lenders of money on Friday and Saturday. On the latter day the rate on call was quoted four to five per cent on ail Kinds of collaterals. The Southern State siocks have been active in the new Tennesseos and the Nortn Carolin: oth of which declined, aud were steady in the general list. THR BANK STATEMENT, The weekly statement of the associated banks, though continuing to show a loss in legal tendors, owing to the process of forcing redemptions on the country banks, is much more favorable than was ex- pected by the street, although the changes are not of great moment. There is total lossin reserve of about two and a quarter millions, but as the liabili- ties are reduced amillion by the decrease in de- posits the loss in the surplus over the legal reserve is Just two millions. The discrepancy between the small loss in specie and the customs payments of the week is not so reaslily accounted for, unless upon the hypothesis that the decline in gold has brought out @ great deal of coin heretofore stored away up town and out of town, and which is now sold to realize the premium, the specie finding its way over the counters of the bullion dealers and into bank. The banks are generous in loans, and bave expanded the item ubout a million ana a half of dollars. The last two statements are as follows Feb. 12. Feb. 19, $265,8 64,662 $267,827,368 88,072,184 37,264, ; Circulation. 33,604,871 eposiis, . 212,188,862 Legal tende: . 603,000 66,134,006 The changes tn the condition of the banks are in detail as follows: Increase in loans.
