BUBBARD, Jr., 165 East Washington-st. REAL ESTATE/ZS The Supply of Money to Loan on Mort- gage. Important Sales---The Tenant Question. Summary of Transfers for the Week. It werld naturally be supposed that tho pres- ent unzettled state of finances ail over the coun- try, and the uneatisfactory condition of trade in the West, would exercise a depressing effectupon real estate traneactions in this city. But suchis not the case. Notwithstanding that extremely cantious people begin to think we have dlready more than enough bueiness buildings to answer the requirements of trade in this city during the next year, we find that thero is actually more in- quiry for, and more disposition to invest in “‘ineide” property available for business ‘buildings, then there was a month or iwo ago, “when the amount of money seeking some kind of safe and profitable investment was twice as great as it i -mow. The only plausible explanation of thisis that capi- taliets in other parts of the United States aro just beginning to realize the fact that Chicago is nearly rebuilt, on & grander scale than it ex- isted -before the fire. They ses that the com- mercial importance of Chicago was not transi- tory, but that the railroad system of tho United States must necessarily make it one of the great- et cities of the world. In view of this fact, any excess of business buildings that might make low rents for,s year ortwo could ecarcely last longer than that. The trado of Chicago grows all the time, notwithstandinggthe dieabilities of want of capital, and the hard-pressed condition of manyof our merchants here at the pres- ent time. Unlike other cities, the trade of Chicago does - not depend on the existence of & few representative firms. If the ‘most prominent firms in Chicago wereto fail this. year, new houses would immediately take hold of their business and carry it alongon a greater scale, becauge the business comes here to be done. The location draws the trade, and also the men and the capitel to doit. If we should have a decline in rents of business buildings, in cou:egpeuce of thoe erection of too many for the immediate demand, the low rents would only en- courage more people to go into trade, to start new branches of business, and thus stimnlate the growth of the trade of the city. MONEY ON MORTGAGES. Within the last few weeks there hasbeena large falling off in the amount of money offered for loans on mortgages of firat-class businees property. Many of Lhe loan agents estimate the falling off at one-half, and the rates for such loane bave increased, on the average, about one per cent. per anoum. The demsnd, howevér, has been enormous, and late transactions have boen on a largescale. Among the largo transac- figna that have been made during the last week or"two, we note that the Couch estate hasbor- rowed $650,000 on mortgage’ of the Tremont House property, to rebuild, that hotel; tho Sherman esfate has borrowed 400,000 on the new Sherman House; and Mr. J. Y. Scammon Las just borrowed $200,000 on business property. All these loans were made by the United States Mortgage Company aL g per cent gold interest. For any amount under $10,000 ihe rates ara now not less than 10 per cent currency, besides agent’s commission. . SUDURDAN LANDS . are still in active demand. The same_geneéral views in regard -to the commercial position of Chicago that influence the demand for'buginess- property as mentioned above, are probably the Tfoundation of the confidence in the future value of suburban lands. The business in this claas of roperty is, however, eminentlyspeculative, and iable to reactions at any time, though even if these should come they wouldonly be of tempor- ary duration and would be the means of sifting out 2 good many speculators who are now.oper~ ating largely on no capital but ** cheek.” 5 INDICATIONS OF VALUES, . Mesers. F. L. Fake & Co. eold, this week, 83 feet on the northwest corner of Prairie avenue and Twenty-first street, at 450 per frant foot.

The relations. of landlord and tensnt consti- tute a subject that should atiract the. attention of our entire community, with a view to. secure o better system than that which ab present holds in check one very important feature in the development of our city. We place the land- lords and tenants side by side in this mention, for both are alike interested. We do mot pro- pose to discusa in detail the legal defects of the present provisions of our statutes, still less to undertake a statement of their formal and com- plete remedy. But we urge, what every house- seeker is aware of, the present and growing scarcity of tenement houses, and point to the disconraging circumstance that investments in tenement houses are constantly decressing in favor. It is not to be ignored that it is dificult to find sale for temement houses, and that their erection is com- ing to be one of the last and least favorite uses of capital. We are aware that the dis- cussion of 2 movement that shall bring about & different state of things is liable to be in-~ stantly construed into an effort to aid and en- force the oppressions of landlords, who seem to be accepted as the embodiment of all thatis grasping and cruel. But the hard-bearted land- Tord is helped by this veryscarcity, and whatever will tend to increase the number of tenement houses, 8o far agit is eucceesful, removes the opportunity for the exercise of greed. t is claimed that in Chicago the house-own- er's interests are less protected than those of any and all others who supply the demands of community; that he is met and opposed by a different epirit than that which controls other Dbusiness transnctions, and that the everage ex- perience of = ‘landlord in Chicago is a ragged rent roll, whose ‘proceeds cannot be calculated in advance, and to Which there is no greater cer- tainty than a large percentage of loss, year by year. Every honest tenant of & home in Ohicago is the seuflerer by the existing state of facts. From the present outlook gsev- eral shousand tenement houses should be erected next year. They are needed for our city growth. We cannot accommodate those who are seeking Chicago a8 & homein this our new era of development, unless capital is enconraged to take this form of investment. ~ It can be mede profitable by the needed changes whose lack seem to be univereally confessed. We are glad to learn that the subject is lLikely to be brought before the next Legislature in a form to com- mand careful elaboration and the confidence of ccmmunity in the resuit. WEST MADISON STREET. The Town of Cicero has opened Madisonstreet 200 feet wide all the way through the town- thip. The Board of Public Wotks of Ghicago should now widen it correspondingly from the new city limits as far east as California -avenue, a distance of mile and a balf. Tais and Washe ington strest would make fitting agpmm:hss to the Central Park, and would berefit the West Division generally. There are scarcely any im- rovements now on Madison atreot west of Cali- Fornia avenue, and the widening coula be done ;vimuut expense. Another year it will be too ate. PROSPECTIVE DAKCING AND FEASTING. On tho northwest corner of Indiana avenue NUMBER 76. and Twenty-gecond street Professor Martine ia erecting one of the finest and largest private balls in the city. It will be 125 feet long by 50 feet wide, The ceilings will be 25 feet high, and &t either end will be & most perfect arTange- ment of parlors, reception rooms, dressing rooms, etc., etc. The walls will be beautifally frescoed, and the main hall will be lighted by chryatal chandaliers costing $2,000. The up- holstering and furniture will be as elaborate and costly as any ever seen in Chicago. The whole will becompleted bythe 20th of this month. The owners of Superior Block, on the south- eaat corner of Clark and Randolph streets, have arranged the basement sod part of the firat floor of their building for a restaurant, which they intend shall be equal o any in the United States. They have made propositions to Mr. Delmonico, of New York, and also to the pro- prietor8 of the Parker House, in Boston, to pen and keep here a restaurant equal to those they keep in Boston and New York.

We.found that, as at our former visits, the offal discharged from the tanks is anflered to re- main in festering heaps, until it is convenient ta remove it for burial in the suburbs; while the- blood-water, soup, and condensed stéam from the tanks, are discharged into drains or sewers, for the especial pollution of our'river. Whatever may be the law of the question, | there can be no doubt that, in “equity, there is no such thing a8 * a preacribed right ‘to commit anuisance.” Yet this plea is one which is fre- quently advanced by those who have great in- tereats at stake, and requires ‘serious considera~ tion at the hands of those who are trusted with the administration of our sanitary laws and reg- ulations. It remains to be proved whether manufactur- ers, with a fair regard to their own intorests, can abstain from the practice they have hitherto adopted in getting rid of the refuse of their establishments, and employ another method, more conducive to the intereats of the communi- ty, and the comfort and welfare of their imme- diate neighbors. 2 ‘We had recently learned, from the records of the Court, that effectize measures had been taken by some of these establishments to remove all causes of complaint; and we hoped to find that,- in the majority of cases st least, the evil had been mifigl.teg, if not entirely removed. - The public will be surprised to learn, howaver, that nothing has yet been done toward the reali- zation_of the proposed reforms. The offence, instead of being confined to the immediate neighborhood of these establishments, will, by the recent and proposed maultiplication of sew- ers, leading from them to the river, be distrib- uted all over the city, to breed pestilence and diseasge. . At the present rage of increase of the acking interests, the river will, in a short time, Eaacma 83 obnoxious' to the senses and as de- structive to health a8 are Ogden Slip and Healy Blough at present, 1nvolving, too, & speedy repe- tition of the late enormous expenditure for cleaning its channel. This blood-water and soup discharged from these establishments in such enormous quanti- ties contains from 3,000 to_10,000 parts of the foulest organic matter in each 100,000 parts by Weight of fiquid, while, in England, the stand- ard of purity lsid down by the English Commi sionors is to the effect that * Any liquid contain- ing in suspension more than one part by weight of organic matter in 100,000 parts by weight of liquid is inadmiseible into any stream or natural water-course,” % The long immunity which these parties have enjoyed has begotten the inevitable contempt which naturally follows, and they put their faith in the wusual procrastination and indecigion which = invariably precedes the enforcement of all sanitary enactments and regulationa. It is to be Loped, however, that such will no longer be the case, -but that the proprietors will have_ the good sense to per- <ceive that they must make an -effort to comply with the demand of the public, and to adopta better system of dealing with their refuso mater- ial, whether liquid or solid. In spite.of what the interested parties may assert to. the con- trary, we are convinced - that they have little to do but to exercige their own ingenuity,, and put their houlders to the wheel, and they will very soon discover a mode of cemglying with the law, which will not only relieve their neighbors from tho evil under which they have 8o long suffered, but which may repay themselves from any out- lay they may have to incur. The administration of a law is a very simple matter, and, as a rule, ia carried out in its full intent and spirit. But the execution of the law isa very different affair, andit depends alto- gether upon the manner in whichitis put ia force whether it be really efficient, or becomes merely a dead letter. A considerable number of onr laws are, as & fact, rendered completely nu'l and void by the inefficient and evasive manner in which they are executed. Itis of little useto lay down the law if prompt action be not taken to enforce compliance with it. Probably no legal enactments are treated with 8o much gen- eral contempt a8 those pertaining to sanitary measures. 8 sooner these -parties, in their own interests, concern themselves about both, the better for themselves and the community in general.

LONDON. The Chemists of England and the Chemists of Chicago. George Cruikshank, the Artist---What Ruskin Says of Him. Ruskin’s Letter to Workmen--A Contro- L versy with a Clergyman. Sir James Simps&n as an Archze- ologist. From Our Own Correspondent. Loxpoy, Oct.'12, 1672, THE CHEMISTS OF ENGLAND AND THE CHEMISTS OF CHICAGO. No one professional class in England has im- proved during the last dozen years so consider- ably and 80 rapidly as the chemists and drug- gists. Perhaps reform was not equally needed in any other direction. However it may be in Dlinois, in England three-fourths, and more than three-fourths, of the poor are doctored by the chemists. You cannot go into s drug-shop in a large town, and wait until & prescription ig made up, without seeing some man, woman, or child apply to the chemist for. *advice.” It wonld be amusing, if human flesh and bloed ‘were not concerned, to note the person behind the counter—often & youth, on appren- tice—telling the patient to. hold out his tongue or his vmst, acd going throngh the regular routine of'the prac- tised surgeon. A chemist’s shop in & largeman- nfacturing town, on a Saturday night, is an ex- traordinary spectacle. Itis constantly thronged, like & public house. The rule of the chemist is, togive medicines which will, at all events, pro- ducean effect. The collier or the oparative ex- pects something for his money, and, in this case, he usually gets it. But this sort of physicking is sometimesdangorous, and the legally-qualified medical men complain bitterly zbout it. The remedy appears to be, to give the chemist the beat possible education. You cannot stop s poor man from going to him ; though you may punish the chemist if he goes to the patient. The great lights of chemistry, not being them- gelves in actual business, profess to denounce the system altogether. The business of the chemist, they state, is to ‘‘make up” prescriptions, not to prescribe. Theyare proba~ bly right; bt the poor chemist would find it difficult to live if he was only jackal to the doc- tor. As it is, he generally, in 2 provincial town, has to eke out his living by incursions into some distant trado. The London chemist would be engry and hurt if you wont into his_shop for a cigar, or for 3 pound of tea; but his provincial brother would gladly supply you with either. ALl agree, however, that ho must_know more than he has bitherto known, and hence the strict rules which have been adopted, rendering a successful examination in pharmacy imperative before the commencement of business. The Pharmagentical Soclety is fortunate in en- joying the zealous services of Professor Att- field, one-of the cloverest and most energetic of living'chemists. As an examiner in 3 he is withoat a rival; and he is one of those- -professional men who can look beyond the im- mediate interest of the hour to what is perma- nently good. It was to Professor Attfield that Professor Everts addreseed Limself after the iire, phien asking for aid in replacing the Chica- go College of Pharmacy in its former. position of usefuiness; and the appenl was responded to in a thoroughly cordial spirit. Dr. Attfield at once opened & subscription, announcing, af the same time, that all donations would be ex- pended. in’ the purchase of books and other articles for the libriry, museum, and lecturs- | room at Chicago. Contributions, both in morey kind, flowed in. The goods which were pur- chased are 4t this moment, I believe, at Chicago. The manufactureres and deslers in the goods granted liberal reductions in their list-prices, and the heavy customs’ duties were not, I think, demanded. The value of the goods, in English money, was about 700 guineas. ‘A small sum is on hand, which will be spent on_books now re- inting, and others that are difficult to obtain. E‘znindicne how. general was the sympathy felt by pharmacists in England, I mey state that on - the ~ Committes ~were the officers. of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britsin, and - of the _ Bntish - Pharmaceutical Gonference, -including Members _of *Council, Professors, and Examiners; the Presidents of the eighteen Provincial Pharmaceutical Associa- tions; most of the wholesale and several of tha chief Tetail druggiats ; and representatives from Scotland and Ireland. We are happy,” wrote Dr. Attfield, “in the thought that we have been successful in doing for others what we believa others, had there been occasion, would have done forus. _Accept _our present as an earnest of our sympathy and brotherly love.” ' The let- ter from Chicago in reply hizs probably been pablished in your city. * We -mccept,” say the authorities of the Collego, “your munificent gift asa valued trust, to be carefully and sacredly administered for the bene- fit of all who shall seek improvement within the walls of our college. e hope to hand it down to our snccessors complete and unimpaired, ex- cept a8 time and good usage shall canse them to decay; and, when the student seeks or follows the inspiration of knowledge, now dwelling upon the page of lettered science, or holding, with unpractised hand, the instrument that un- fold wonders to his full, eager mind, he, and all, sball know that these aids to koowledge wers placed within his rezch by brother-pl 18cists ot Great Britain and Ireland, and given in the holy names of sympathy and fn—qumr ly love.” GEORGE CRUIESHANE. The day before yesterday, while walking up a street leading out of the Strand, I sawa veteran frame, somewhat bent, but sturdy, hnd. bearing on the shoulders s massive head. The eyes were piercing and bright; and in these lurked sense of fun or humor. ' Long white hair drops by the sideof the face, and the beard: is iron- fn . It was my old friend, George Cruikshank, ooking at some of his own cuts displsyed on & book-stall. I was glad to find the gallant old ar- tist in such good health. Remember, he is 80years of age! What man is there, of Anglo- SaZon blood, who does not recall the delight which he gained, when aboy, from the Cruik- ‘shank whose name was on ‘every one's lips? “Worthy of Cruikshank" was & popular phrase ‘when people weré g to describe the tragio or the grotesque. O 1ste years, since his con- version to teetotalism, Cruikshank’s pencil has not preduced any notable works. The multipli~ cation of drunken figuresis a disagreesble sight, and the school or the sect is more evident than the art. But the admirsble old man has been 28 earnest in it all as anyjconvert ever was. He is excitable, even passionate in temperament, and-the teetotallers have often found him & wild elephant amongst them ; bu’ nobody ever thought the worse of Cruikshari for his zeal. I wish something could be deme to show the respect which is felt for him. He is not in affluent circumstances, by any mears, and & tribute to him now would ko much more honorable then a monument to his memory when he s dead. He has helped _others all his life. The Isst time I saw him before our encounter of Tnesday, Was in an omnibus, where he was inaisting upon paying the fares of two poor old women Who Were fumbling in their pockets for the coin. His merits asan artist rhnk very high indeed. Ruskin says of him: ¢If yon have some of Cruikshank's etchi- ing, yon will be able, I think, to feel the nature of harmonious treatment in a simple kind. Cruikshank’s work as drawing is perfect in har- mony. The pure and simple effects of daylight which he gets by Lls thorough mastery of treatment in this respect, are guite un- rivalled by an other work executed with so few touches. If ever you happen to ‘meet with the two volumes of Grimm’s ‘ Germen Btories,’ which were illustrated by him long ago, pounce npon them instantly; the etchings in them are the finest things, next to Rembrandt’s, that have been done since etching'was invented. You cannot look at them too much, or copy them too often.” " A descriptive_catalogne of his warks, pub- lished hers, alone costs £12 12s © He is
