Renewals of last year’s leases are made at about the same figures, varied only by the desirability of the locality. Wholezalo houses from Broome to Worth street are in good demand, while both above and below this locality there isa slight depreciation. Lofts lu close proximity to Broadway in the same neighborhood are readily rented to importers and jobvers, whe have radually moved upward with the flow of business on roadway. ‘The number of unoccupied stores at the present time is less than last year, und a hopetul {eel- ing is expressed. Above Fourteenth street prices vary ‘ut little from last year, and what jew new leases have been made show about ten per cent reduction, THM LOWER PART OF THE CITY. In that portion of the city below Chambers street there 15 compuratively little property unoccupied, ospecially in the netghborhood of Wall und Broad Streets. What there is in the market is held at about last year’s prices. Those in search of property keep below the price asked, and as landlords are afraid of having their houses unoccupied concessions are the rule. A large number of leasis expiring in May have not yet been renewed and will probably not be beiore that tame unless whe unsettled condition of politics passes over. UPTOWN PROPERTY, J. W. Denham & Co.,cne of the oldest real estate firms, who deai in west side property, say that lund- to em inclined to hoid out for last year’s prices potwithstanding the dulness of times, aud complain of high taxes and iiving expenses as agaist a reduc- tion, The demand tor smaller bouses has increased ‘over last year, anc flats are looked tor by a number of people who formerly lived privaiely. Dwell- ings, up to $1,200 per anpum are easily rented, but beyond that price it 1s dill- cult to rent them. There is an evident effort at re- trenchment, partly due to wise judgment, but more the result of necessity, The middie class of uwell.ngs bring poorer ronte than formerly on account of the facilities offered im flats jor a much Jess price. Nutnbers of jamilies, forced by the stringency of the times, have made the change and contented themselves with the partial privacy thus afforded. A large num- verof commodious dweilings, heretofore occupied as Doarding houses, are thrown on the inarket through the fatiure of those who kept them. bis is another and a very convincing proof of the uuparalleled dul- ness of times, Business men with families, who pre- ferred boarding to the trouble of housekeeming in small quarters, bave been compelled to cut down their living expenses, and the number of clerks anu sules- men who lived at boarding bouses and are now unew- ployed have likewise feit the vecersity of retrench- ment and sought cheaper lodgings and iare, RETAIL STORES. As a natural result of the duluess of business gener- ally the demand jor stores along tho avenues for retail business hus also fallen off greatly since last year. The price they command in the market is governed entirely by the condition of trade. Whea it brightens up applications tncrease, not xo much among the resi- dents of the city as from people in Brooklyn, Hoboken and Jersey City, who ure tempted to locate in New York whenever the prospect of business brightens. No such temptation exists at the present time, but, on the contrary, many of the retail storekcepers are los- ing money and inclined to discontinue business unless their rents are lowered. ‘The same 1s the case along the avenues on tho cast sido of tue city, where there are now more than twice the number of stores to let than there were last year. ‘A GLOOMY PROSPECT. Mr. V. K. Stevenson, Jr., who deals sargely in real ystate throughout the city, gives it as bis opinion that ibere must be a reduction of rents generally, »Bust- ‘men, be says, are everywhere loging money, ana tapnot continue to pay the present prices so long as times remain as they are. He believes that one-third pf the tenants of business houses are in arrears now for rent and that many of them will go out of business rather than stand the Strain avotber year. Mr. Steven- son mentioned instances where moncy had been spent improving good siore property in tho best part of the Bowery, and’ for which it was next to impossible to find ten ants. The better class of private residences, too, in the most desirable parts of the city were bringing very rent, AS an instance he quoted one case of a house for which $8,000 per annum was asked, and which was finally leased for $4,000. A revival of busi ness, Mr. Stevenson says, 18 the only thing whicb wil check the downward tendency which now exists, and will until mercbanis fing it profitavle to remain in the | buriness.

The North Side Association mot again yesterday afternoon at Alonzo Carr’s hall, corner of 138th street and Third avenue, Astbis wag the apnual meeting quite a large number of the members were present. The president, Mr. J. J. Crane, occupied the chair, and in the absence of the Secretary, Mr. F. Morris, Mr. | H. L. Morris took his place. The reports of the Rapid ‘Transit and the Local Improvement cominittees, which wore read at the meeting on last Saturdsy, were read again, and then that of the Hariem Rwerlmprovement Committees was read. It stated that some improve- ments had been made since last year in the Harlem River and Spuyten Duyvil Creek, and that considera. ble sums of moncy had been expended in draming and removing rock# from the Harlem River below the Tuird Avenue Bridge. The committec also brought, in | a memorial to ve presented to the House of Represen- tauver, whereiu they ask for an appropriation of $500,000 for carrying on the work of improving the river, The memorial bas at present over 200 signatures. ‘The report of General Newton, embodied in it, has already been published in the Henan, Tho question Of assessing the property owners of the Twenty-third and Tweuty-fourth wards exclusively for strect openings and improvements to be made on the north side of this city was next bronght up, anda letter from a taxpuyer, expressing the general leeling of bond people in the new wards against tho idea, was read.

BHAM RESORM, My object in writing this communication is simply to cull the attention of the public to the facuthat ex- Mayor Wickbam and ex-Comptroller Green, during the administration of their several offices proposed gnd carried througo no real measure ol reform in favor of the taxpayer, and that under them our taxes and our city. dobt have been increased to un extent rendering our present city securities less valu- able than those of Boston (with a maximum rate of six per cent interest), iu the fluancial murkets of we world. The Legisiature of the State of New York is by constitution prohibited trom raising by taxation in one year av amount exceeding $1,000,000, The singular anomaly exists that any of the citics of the State may incur debts to any amount, Au amendment to the constitution should be bad by which this city should have its debt limited to an amount not exoceding $15,000,000. A general law should be pissed funding and consolidating our present city debt, payable tn tilty years, ata rate of interest not exceeding five per cent, PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. It is true that many of the bouds now existing and outstanding against the city huveyet many yours 10 run, where the contract between the city aod the loaner would prevent, without a voluntary surrender of the bonds, the compulsory receipt thereol; yet there are $22,000,000 of “assessment” bonds which could be immediately funded at a rate of interest Not exceeding five per cent, and the “judgment” bonds apd “revenue” bouds, amounting to maillious of dol- lars, could likewise immediately be negotiated and paid upon the passage of euch an act. From year to year acts have been passed by the Legislature under the auspices of ex-Comptrollor Green, providing that he might negotate our bonds ‘ta rate of interest nob exceeding seven per cent,” that have been made pay- abio in aiflerent years’ running up to be year 1900. =I am informed that in none of bonds has the priviexe been given to the city (as should always be the case 1m bonds oj the government, State or municipality), to pay tre same off at the pleasure of the government. In this general law to and had this existed in the acts authorizing the present debts of the city, and could they be paid off at once, under a proposed bill for the funding and -consolida- tion, the amount of nearly $3,000,000 per anoum would be saved to our taxpayers. I sincerely hope that Senator Morrissey may prepare and pass this all- important measure for the best intercets of our city. Yours respectiully, JOHN B. HASKIN. TAMMANY HALL.

A LIMB OF THE LAW WHO DID NOT GET HIS ¥EE—-AN OUTCOME OF THE ASTORIA EUR- GLaRY, ‘ In tho Brooklyn City Court, yesterday, before Jus- tice Reynolds, counsel for Mrs. Margaret. Stark, plain- tiff in a suit for limited divorce against John Stark, of No, 242 Fourtcenth street, made # motion that another counsel be appointed in the place of James W. Ridg- way. In an affidavit of Mrs. Stark, which was sub- mitted in support of the motion, it ts charged that Mr. Ridgway made untruthful statements, which were intended to mis- lead her, itis also charged that Mr. Ridgway acted in collusion with tho defendants in the suit brought by the plainut, Mrs, Stark says that Mr. Kidgway wus engaged by her husband to defend his son-in-law Roberts, who. was arrested as ono of the Astoria masked burglars and convicted 1m the Queens County Cireuit Court during the past week, Her hus- bund agreed to pay him a@ counsel fee of $500, and to do this he bad to mortgage their property for $800, Mrs, Stark states further that sh refused to execute ber partof the contract.
