LANDLORDS WHO FAIL TO REDCCE RENTALS HAVE EMPTY HOt'SES ON THEIR HANDS THANSArTIONS OE THE Willi la? lly n coiv.par.son of figures, thc rea! estate inarkc-t showed a tendency to move actively last week. The transaction.-, ia the auction moms amrnin', 1 to fl.lot."a... agalnal HBS.S32 in the week before and Wt.ZTi In tiie st'ine week last year. Small varia? tions In Bgvires, ? not Indicate that there has been any material change in the condition of the realty market. In the last week a little better r-peculatlve si? ir.t was noticed amoru- buyers, but the "same old" dulness which has been the protnl t ? feature In the market for the last twelve months was in evidence uni there seemed little hope tint it would he banished for some time to come. The usual summer dulness promises to a> uert Itself with more force than usual, and the only hope nt roil restate men ls that by thc fall some? thing will he- accomplished by ront-r-r-s which will 1 ul ..ll forms of trade on a better basis again. The latlve spirit must be revived before free offer lnrrs will be made In the real estate market. The majority of the properties offered for aale since the timer, of financial depression began have been un? der orJ-r of the court, and a market made up oi foreclosure and partition sales cannot be aa active one. There have been many chances for excellent bar? gains at the auction sales recently, and people who are able to let their money Ile Idle In these pur? chases until better times are at hand will not r>gr,-t going Into the market. It may be noticed that, de? spite all thc adverse conditions and the general wall Of real <-s;at<- men over their losses, lt ls a rare occurrence for men Interested In real estate to make an assignment. This ls an excellent evi? dence of the sound condition of the business. In the worst kind of times there ls money to be made \n New-York real estate In all Us many departments. RENTS MIST COME DOWN. The necessity ot making reductions In rents has been strongly Impressed upon owners this spring, and every tenant In the city hopes that the lesson haa been one that will produce practical results in the fall. There are houses and flat-'houses in all parts of the city which will be Idle on the hands of the owners during the summer, and the chances ATA that they will not be taken in the fal) If own? er* refuse to make a sensible reduction In rents. Many people have refused to retake their houses and apartments this spring because they could not afford in these times, when Incomes have been re? duced by a substaml.il percentage, to pay the former exorbitant rentals. Upon the refusal of landlords to make concessions, tenants have refused to retake their houses, thinking that by the fall there will bc a general reduction In rents on all classes of prop? erty. The renting season this spring has been a failure. The fall season almost always ls more active than the .spring, but despite 'his there has been a great falling off In house renting In the last two month* from the same period In other years, anl th-re is no rssaoa to believe that high rents have not been tho prime cause. It is to the Interest of real estate men In this city to keep people from moving Into suburban towns, ar.l un!.: ss they want to see a large movem-ic in that direction they wuuld better make a 6 effort to brim,' nbout a general reduction In the Beale of rents. Th.-.-e are many pleasing Induce? ments h.-ld (.ut Ky the real estate doalers in saturn u, towns to th., high-rent paying city tenant, and from all Indications there seems to be much activ? ity In tne real estate line In rural districts owing to th* tow rents offered, To offaet this tha city owner should do something practical or he will see many desirable tenants go the way of the "suburbanite." Tenants expect a reduction In rents. It is their right to demand lt, and lar-seelng lairilor ls win r.-is xg. nlzi the justice of the claim. It has been pointed out frequently In this column that owners will not lose In money or In the quality of their tenants if they make Judicious reductions In their rentals. In accomplishing needed: reforms in tho relation be? tween landlord and tenant, the first-named should put particular emphasis upon the necessity of making a rigid scrutiny of the tenant's credit.
