_» REAL ESTATE. pA aha iat A Photographic Reflection of the Market. ‘Is There To Be a Break or Concession P RAPID TRANSIT. The Thought of Pine Street on the Subject. ‘We have reached a crisis in the real estate mar- ket, The policy of Mr. Secretary Richardson in disturbing the unit of the legal tender circulation, producing a variable quantity which nas resulted | im stagnation all over the country, in every (le- | partment of industrial or speculative enterprise, operates here as well. Thus we have reached the middie of March without having a market, when | the ordinary season begins in February, and if n0 | ‘untoward circumstance had occurred to inverrupt | activity we should now be tn the midst of busy | movement. But that which the panic failed to do Mr. Richardson by his tinkering with the legal | tender circuiation has succeeded m doing. It is A SIMPLE PROPOSITION, AND EASILY DEMONSTRATED, Investment in real estate grows, a8 we have before shown, out of the profits of other business, the surplus accumulations, or in other words, the | savings of the people. The panic first suspended these accumulations, and Mr. Richardson subse- quently, by his joolish tampering with the circula- tion, checked the recovery, Thus we are com- pelled to acknowledge, speaking squarely, and without any euphemistic disguise, this isa year of Yeaction. Atcempt to get round it as we may, the fact is nevertheless apparent, from what- ever cause originating, there {!s no mar- ket for real estate at present prices. Tne investment demand waits upon the solu- tion of the financial problem in Congress, and the speculattve movement is checked by the un- certain impulses which direct the legal tender cir- culation and so disturb the standard of value, A sale cannot be effected now at last year’s prices nor those of the year before; not that the property ‘has depreciated in value, but that the monetary @onditions aifecting it are changed. New York real estate, let it be borne in mind, does not de- preciate, but THE CONVERTIBLE VALUE ‘Of that real estate into current tokens is effected by whatever affects that token. Atpresent such | token is variable aud uncertain; hence real estate walues are depressed. To produce an active market now would require a concession of least twenty per cent from the prices ‘Of this time last year, not for any deterioration Jwhich the property has sutfered, but wholly as a cousequence Of the coniused, unstable monetary situation. Yet \nere is another element provok- dng a decline. The present economic management | ol the city finances hus succeeded in stopping im- ‘provements just where they are most needed, and ‘where property is assessed upon a basis antici- | fed as aresult of these improvements. Thus, while the interruption of these works destroys a , market for this property, the taxes and assess- ments increase in andue proportion to the benefit, Another result of this 18 that many men owning large blocks oi property so affected, while anxious ‘to sell, are afraid to adaress the present market | for Jear of producing a panic. Now, a panic is always possible. Itis seemingly ONB OF THOSE INSTINCTIVE RESULTS OF MAN'S ANI- MAL NATURE akin to that of self-preservation, which reason is [powerless alike to direct or control. But the ci cumstances are not yet so grave as to justify such @n advanced fear. it is simply that a dull market | and an interruption of the work of uptown im- provement bas permitted an excessive burden to grow upon unimproved property, which many hoiders are willing to lighten by relleving them- selves of a portion of tneir property uf they ouly dare do so. The danger wiich conironts them 1s @ break in uhe market, which, while, as we have gaia before, is a real danger, is also, we think, ex- aggerated. A break now would be less dangerous than a break later, if the indueoces now operating to create that danger continue to exist. The mar. ket now could suffer and support a slight reac- uon; postpone it too long, and it might give way | hopelessiy. Of course, these observations have y the interest of curiosity to those who are able to hold their property over but they come howe directly to the understanding Of those who find themseives to-day Wealthy and embarrassed. Jt 18 to be regretted that such a condition of things exists, but we did not create it, and it would be worse than iy to try and dis+ guise it. Our eminent Secretary o/ the Treasury is largely respousible jor this condition of things, He is a very worthy man, extremely worthy, and tus obituary would no doubt be read with great interest throughout the country With undisguised a@dmiration of bis many virtue: The week just closed furnished an item of inter- est in the sale on Thursday by Muller & Co., a re- of which appeared in the Heraup of Friday. e wish to observe here, par parenthese, wut, that report was special, und was uot luraished by the gentfeman who has the regular direction of this department. In regard to the sale itself tt | ars 80 far as anyUhing can be retled upon out- je of legal proo! to have been bond side, It was fn executor’s sale and, therefore, carried with it A LARGE ELEMENT OF CONFIDENCE, Which induced active, reliable bidding. It is not Bo, however, always with these legal sales. Prop- erty sold in partition, under order of foreclosure, or Other process wiere there are Various interests to be served or preserved, is usually taken care of by the parties interested, and in many cases while & price is made no saie is eflected. It 1s 1u the na- ture of what is known on the Su Exchange as a “wash”—where an effort 1s simpiy made to cre- ate @ market value Without any change of owner- ship. Of that nature, too, uré many Of the an- nouncements which appear from time to time in print of private transactions in real estate, It is Very easy in this Way to make a price and is the cheapest kind of advertising Uiat can be done— ‘When it succeeds. is writer bas made further inquiry of late nto THE CONDITION OF BROOKLYN PROPERTY, and finds it mcomparabiy worse than New York.
