i REAL ESTATE. Tiie Monetary Siringency Prérents the Payment of Lia- bitities Low Rents as a Means of In- creasing Business and Population. The New Stores in the Burnt District, and Their Occupants. Zhe Gravitation Toward the Old Centres of Trade. Transfers for the Week, Ete. The, scarcity of money begins to exercise more perceptible effect on the real estate market than heretofore, and the brokers genen!l_y Te- port something of a falling off in transactions. o hear, also, of & good dealof real estate paper that are not paid st maturity, and even in some instances of considersble amounts of annual interest that isnot paid according to contract on peper that has a year or two to run yet. As 5 general rule, the holders of this paper are carrying it along, having firm faith in its being paid when money gets easier, and feeling that, 2s far as the nltimate payment of both principal aud interestis concerned, the security is good be- yond question. This condition of affairs cannot, of course, but exercise an unfavorable effect ‘upon the present volume of transactions, though £t the same time it is not probable that any con- siderable amount of property will be forced to sale by the foreclosare of mortgages, & erisis in Chicago real estate speculations which has been looked forward to for the last six or seven years by a good many o1d fogies as the good time com- ing whan it would do to buy, but which has never come, and seems likely never to come, or at least never to heve the effect of depressing .pricesmuch. In fact, the amonnt of mataring Tiabilities on first annual payments at the pres- ent time is not large. At this time last year the renl estate market was dull on sccount of the uncertainty asbont fature values, in consequence of the great fire. But last spring transactions were unusually large, and the aggregate of first annual pay- ments that will fall due in April, May, and June, 1873, will probsbly b larger than st any previ- ous period in the history of the city. But money 3s likely to be easy then, and thero is every res- #on to believe that the steadily increasing trade mgfi;:iopmfion of the city will inspire continued confidence in the further increase in value of Tesl estate. This prospect is, toa considerable ‘extent, assured by the grand scale on which the thusiness portion of the city is being rebuilt. The fact tgst we already have more and finer store rooms =and twice as much office xoom, eand better than we had befors the fire, should not b regarded 28 an_evidence that -ze-building has been “overdone. That rents of Jboth stores and offices will be low next year is probable, but thisvery fact will draw many peo- le here to do business, who would have fonnd &t impossible to begin business here at the old high ratcs of rents. Beginning on & basis of low rents, the interests of landlord and tenant Rro to some extent identical, as low rents will enable new comers to build up in & year or two Xr.des which they cennot afford to lose, but can ghen afford to psy higher renis to retzin. These views doubtless have their influence with many capitalists, of whom wo Abear even now, 83 negotiating for valuable pieces of business property. A no- table fact in this connection is, that several of the parties who have made positive offers of Jerge sums of money for business property in Chicago are from Boston. In nearly all cases the offers made for this class of property are below the prices at which tho propérty has been held. This reduction is probebly ed on the ground that for a year business rents are ly to be low, but the fact that numerous par- ties fromother cities stand ready with money to pay for good business property in Chicago, even at a slight reduction, shows tho confidence ;vuhich the country at large has in her commercial tore. SUBURBAN LANDS €9 not sell o readily as they did a month 2go, thongh even yet thigis the most saleable cluss of property, excepta good AEDIUAL CLASS OF DWELLINGS, . for which there is an active domand and an in- 2ccquate supply. Residence lots also, st about £100 to $125 per front foot, sell pretfy readily o pariies who propose to build houses for their o1 occupation next summer. To get ground ai these prices, however, one must go outside of 43 present compnctly built portions of the city, and buy on etreets where there is neither pavements nor sidewalks, and in but few in- Stences gas or water. Second-class residence property for cottages can, of course, be had for ‘much less, and the demand foritisstill active sd the volume of sales large. PROMINENT BUILDINGS. ‘Work on the Field & Leiter store, on the store of D. B. Fiske, is making good progress, con- sidering the season, and the rich character of both buildings is being well brongxt out. Those stores will secare a high trade character to the intersections of Washington and State streets snd Wabash avenue. The elogant stores on Wabash, near Van Buren, the building of the Academ} of Sciences, are in the fourth story, and show a very besuliful stone front., The Foof and Mansued towers of the.Michigan South- ern and Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad depot are nearly on. The fim\t buildings’ and stables of the American and Morchant Union ‘Express Compeny, on Monroe sizeet, are making good progress. GENERAL BUILDING NOTES. The let-up of the worst phase of the horse diseace, and the generzl introduction of ox tcams, has helped to a large degres of activity, the building operations most pressing for com- pletion this’ sesson, but the genersl offect on many enterprises in their early stsge or immedi- Ltely prospective, has been the anticipation by reveral weeks of the shut off for the winter. DMesnwhile, there is increasing promiseof an early awakening of activify nest yesr, and many g_{x&mgs are under contract, or in architects’ THE HOTELS. Tho Grand Pacific and the Sherman House are making very nearly equal strides towards completion early next spring. Plastering is .umlfy done, and the finishing joiner work bo- . In the former enterprise the ranges of Honeuse & Duparquet, of New York, have been ut under contract, and mine hosts of the Grand acific, George W. Gage, David A. Gage, and John A. Rice, are busy with all the details of Sarpets, upholstery, chins, glass, and plate, Within the present week the Y'acific Hotel Com- pany and the Fire Department will unite in'an iuteresting public test of the standing iron col- umns for carrying a_stroam of water to the top- wost point of the house, end throwing a fall &iveam from the Mansard towers. The Oricnt House of Messrs. Grant & Cudney g put in readiness for guests, to be open two wecks.

The completion of numerous fine business Llocks on Clark street, which has now more elo- at buildings north of Jackson street than any <t 2 thecity, is bricging back old. firms and of prosperous trade. C. C. Collins, the nown clothier, whose most successful zlty is boys’ and youths’ clothing and fur- hing. is about to open his new double store, 18% and 186 Clark sireot, near Monroe, with Gek: something remarkable in this market in rleteness snd attractiveness of lines, re- g from his premises sinco the fire on Wa- Dpach avenne, near Sixteenth street, but retain- g Lis West Side branch, No. 195 West Madison feet.

WASHINGTON STREET. Oneof the features of the beautifal Hale building on the corner of Washington and State sireets, opposite Field & Leiter's stand, will be its occupancy in the upper portion by-3he old and well-established Bryant & Stratton Business College, 500n to bo opened in this most central {trade location. All the rooms have been planned by an architect with & view to giving every con-~ venience possible. Every modern improvement is introduced. Passenger elevator, steam heat- ing, speaking tubes, closets, ete., ete., making the accommodations altogether unsurpassed. A new style of combination desks and seats, lntely patented, is being manufactured for seve eral of the apartments.” The office work is to be yery rich and expensive. In fact Mr. Bi laying himsslf out kind in the world. BPRINGER'S BUILDISG. One of the most pleasing business structures of the Burned District, the Springer Building, on the corner of State and Randolph streets, the in- tersecting point of tho South Side and West Bide Street Railroads, is roceiving its tenants. The Chicago Homeeopathic Pharmacy is already at home in quarters as _esquisito as fine carved woods can make them. Messrs. Halsey Brothers are old in their line heye and have one of the most perfect establishments of its class in the conntry. They are publishers and manufac- turers as “well ag P) acentists and dealers, and their products are in high favor with the foculty, the trade, and the public, comprising every article in outfit, literature, #nd remedy. Their wholesale department is in the basement, Their trade extends East ss well as ‘West, and their beautiful store will mvite others into & lo- véra.:g goon to bacome a busy centre of our best b is to eclipse n.nythingry:intha PIRE'S DUILDING. _ The 5rnnd jewelry premises of Matson & Co., in Pike's new marble building, on the corner of Btate. and Monroo streets, have been for two weeksin the hands of the workers in carved woods, marble, silyer plste, and plato glass. The {rescoers have made & superb piece of work, the show-cases and counters ore nearly finished, and the firm will bo in their rew quarters in ample time for the holiday trade. They have an estab- lishment that will invite comparison with the world's greatest jewelry premises. The house of Matson & Co., iaking its legitimate succession from Hoard & Edwards, and J.M. & T. Ed- h wards, runs back to_our prairie days, is the oldest in_this city, and hes embodied the expe- rience and wealth of years of accumulationin a great store and its details, throughout altogether unsurpassed. E. ¥. HOLLISTER & CO. The elegant store occupying the site of the Western Nows Compsany’s storo in Bookseller's Row, Nos. and 128 State street, is rapidly spproaching complotion, to be- come the wholesale caxge: warehouse of 1essrs, E. F, Hollister & Co. The building is 48 fect “¥ront by 150 deop, has an elaborately wrought Amberst sandstone front. Itis to be throngh- out abusiness palace, with every feature of the highest clas. from the brosd French plate win- dows to the fittings of the interior, an which no expense has beon spared. This noble store was built expressly for the houss of E.F. H. & Co., by Messrs. Frank !Sturges & Co., and adapted in every way t0 its distined mses. It is rare in » store of this size that such attention is paid fo the perfect distribution of Tight throngh every floor, a necessity of $ho car- pet trsde and ite patrons. The constraction is of the most solid character, and it i3 gratifying that this, which has ‘no superior as a darpet house in the world, is to accommodate one of the oldest firms in that line in the Northwest, who will in & short time fill it with the attracs tions that have made that house popular and ‘prosperous for many years past. HALL, EDMBARE & CO. Messrs. Hall, Kimbark & Co. have within the ast few days taken poseession of their noblo Eneinoss premises Nos. 80, 82, and 84 Afichigan avenue, rebuilt by them on the site of their for- merstore. Itwouldnot beeasy tofind emong the entire renge of morcantile structures on the con- tinent one better fitted for the usc to which it is devoted. In fact, it embodies throughout all the experience of this leading and veteran firm in its line, Every feature of the exterior, wrought in the olive-tinted Ohio_sandstone, i9 expressive of solidity and strength, and within, from basement to rcof, stren aud breadth afe everywhero declared. The- fioors' would sustain a colony of locomotives. They are loaded with all varieties of the hardware and metal stock comprised in the muliifarions lines of this firm of “‘Txam in these specialties it may be s2id without invidiousness that they have no oquals in amount of trade. But in this connec- tion we have yielded to the special call to give them the credit due for a mercantile building to be studied by all who desiro to know how strength can be combined with ornateness in & wholesale store. The location of tho store im- ‘mediately upon the railway treck demonstrated its utility in the epizootic visitation, for the iron horse, whosexnostrils arencveroaded with theum, delivered and received its loads daily withont in- terruption from these premises, enabling them to continue their country trade without inter- ruption. CBEDAR, ADAMS & C0.'S BUILDING. One of the handsomest announcements of re- building, rising to the fine art in advertising, is the ecxquisitely engraved circular of the old house of Crerar, A & Co. Tho plste has four beautiful vignette pictures surrounding the card of the firm. The first of these showa the well-remembered stand in the Robbins Block, at the corner of Fifth avenue and South Water street, as it existed on Saturday, Oct. 7, 1871 The eecond gives a bleak ruin, shapeless fason- 1y in_the foregronnd, a woful semblance of the 2ctual ecene on tho fated Mondzy, Oct. 9, The third presents a view of the emergency premises of the firm, on the Michigan 2venne patk front, where for the winter and spring months the; carried on their extensive business. The fourt] is a beautiful cut of the Robbins Block, 80 by 150 feet, with a fine ent stono front, rebuiltat 3 cost of $100.000, and one of the handsomest quarters in the new Chicago, for a firm among the most prominent in the_city before the fire. Its street numbers run Nos. 11 and 13 Fifth avenue, and Nos. 205 and 207 South Water street. The block is five storics high, and one of the best bufldings of ourreconstruction. It is worth while to add here that this firm are to be cradited with still another structure among the notables of our greet rebuilding—the ro- built works of Crerar, Adams & Co. aund -the TUnion Braes Manufacturing Company, a donble edifice fronting 100 feet on Qhio street and 100 fect on Ontario street, and 290 fect on Franklin street, with = dividing slley in the centre, spanned by & bridge. Tho buildings are in sub- stantial brick, four stories high, among the ‘most completely appointed menufacturing prem- ises in the city. Messrs, C., A. & Co, established in Chicagzo fourteen years ago, as a branch of M. K. Jesup & Co., of Now York, are still clossly sllied with ihe old houss, and their trade consists in furnishing all possible requiremenis under tho Lead of railway sup- lies, best understood in their multiform variety & glance through their salssrooms. The pore tion of the manufactory ehove referred to occu- pied by them is occupied in the manufacture of hesdlights, hand-lantorns, end all varieties of ornamental car and cerrisge lamps, for which many of the leading railrord companies atthe ZEnst aro their customers. This branch of the work employs 100 men, with an_annual product of $200,000. Among other leading manufactur- ing specialties are tarntables and the Mansfield elastic frog. The gross business of Meesra. Crorar, Adams &,Co. reaches geveral million dollars anpually. They aro the large ownere of tho Union Brasa_ Manufacturing Company, the two indusfries boing practically one interost. The company is highly prosperous, and largely the source of many of the stoplo’ products of the house, One thing deserves to be noted in the store and in the manufactory, worthy to bring it thus into prominent mention in & build- ing article,—tho testo and ekill shown in providing for the convenience and com- fort of the operatives and employes, who, from the maturo of their empicy- ment, are necessarily among the most skilled u:1d intelligent of mechapics. J. H. Dow, Esq., ouo of the partners, now in Eu.rodpe, is t0 be largely uefli{es with the marvellous development of tha mathetic principle, rarely onlisted to such & de- gree in tlie affairs of busincss, A LITERAT MARDLE FRONT, The beautiful jewelry establishment of Mesars. Giles, Brother & Co., on Wabash avenue near Jackson street, though it still lacks some of the features of ndornment, the statnes that are to oruament the facade, is sdmired deily by multi- tudes strack with the novelty and wonder.of in- troducing polished varigated marble 5o lavishly as it i3 here employed in esterior work. The jron columns are cast equare fo seceive half round facings of this matorial, giving a now character to the front, ind & very rich seiing for the ' immense plate glass of the show-windows. The novelty is worth noting, for it is o now fhing, and Yery bandeomely adds to the wonderful variety of our building etyles. It is amost fitting introducticn and symbol of the elegance and richiness lavished 80 liberally by this firm on the interior, which 18 throughout in keaping, from the decorations of walls and ceilings, to the contents of the eafes, :Erl show-cases, and counters, in plate glass and Iver. ELEGANT JEWELBY ESTABLISHNENT, The elegant jewelry establishment of Messrs. Roddin & Hamilton, on the corner of State and Washington streots, opposite Field, Leiter & Co.s retail premises, now being rebuilt, will bo in complet.e readiness for the holidsy trade. The frescoers are just finishing one of the most ex- uisite pieices of work in that line ever done in this city. = The floor has been laid in white marble, and the workmen are busy in erecting the counters of Italisn marble, imported ex- ressly for this house, the panels being executed in Lisbon snd Champlain marble. ~The side cases will be in French walout, with amboyne veneers, securing the very richest effect pos- sible in_wood work. The firm, who have not suspended busingss a day since the fire, and have two stores in operation,—one at the corner of State and Twentieth, opposite the Field, Leiter & Co, store, and the other No, 260 West, Madi- son street,—have now in store in New York their full fresh imported stock for_their superb new store, to be forwarded when it is in_readiness. The West Side store will be continued until Jan, 4, but the headquarters of this old established house will in a¥few days be opened as sbove in ono of the most attractive and perfect retail premises in the cnnntry.

Report of the Comptroller of the Cur- xency. ‘Wasmrseros, Nov. 22.—The roport of the Comptroller of the Cur-ency reviews at length the working of the National Banking system since its inaugnration. 5 Of the whole amount of circulation appro- pristed by Congress, £342,000,000 have been issued, and a balance of $12,000,000 promised to asgociations that have filed their applications and_taken preliminary steps toward organizing a8 National Banks. The Comptroller considers that part of the recent act which calls for the redistribution of $25,000,000 in currency, by withdrawing that amount from the Middlo and Eastern States, and givingit to the Bouth and Wost, 28 im- practicable, and recommends its repoal ; and also that an amendment be made in lieu thereof, providing for the issus of $5,000,000 bank cir- culation annuelly for the next five years, to meet the wante of such States as have not hsd their fall proportion. He is opposed toany change in the law in ref- erence to the reserve which banks are required .| tohold, and shows by statistical tables that a law which has becoms & rule with all cautiously- managed banks should not bo hastily zepesled. Ho suggests, however, that it wonld bo to the interest of banks to Koop a larger proportion of their reserve in their own hands, instead of pla- cing it on deposit with ¢jty bonds, and points out the way by which this end may be accom- plished to the general benofit, Congiress is informed of various complaints which havo been made of usurious transsctions, and the Comgtmunr incidentally suggests the propriety of the repeal of all usury laws, 8o far 28 tgey apply to the National Banks, Full information is given in relation to banks which have failed, showing the average dividend upon the sggregate of claims proved, which amounts to about 86 per cent,—leaving 14 per cent, which the law provides ehall be assessed upon shareholders. ‘Tho locking up of greenbacks in New York City is referred to, and atteniica called to the resolution pessed by the Clearing House; and the belief expreszed that its enforcement will do more to prevent such illegitimate transactions among banks than any legislation by Congress. A table is given showing the total amount of coin held by all the National Banks, together with the amonnt of gold, Trensuéy nofes, checks ayablo in specie, and coin held by banks in R Yoris City, stated scparately. Amendments to the act are saggested as fol- lows: Tho organization of banks withomt cir- culation, upon the deposit of $10,000 in United Btates bonds, instead of one-third of the capit; the jmposing of a'ponlty on, and withholding of interest from, banka® whoes capital is im- paired, end who refuse to go into liquidation under Section 42 of the act; to prevent the circulation of shinplasters by railroads and (oiher corporations of the South; defining more fully the dutles of the Comptroller and Receiverin the final closing of i nsolvent benks; and an smendment per- mitting banks to lozn 10 per cent on capital and surplus. The proportion of taxation is believed to be much: greater than upon other property. Fall statistical tzbles are given, exhibiting the amount of dividends and earnings of National Banks for the last four years, The ratio of net earnings of the National Banks of the country to capital and surplus, without meking allowance for bad debts, is abont 10 per cent annually, and the ratio of dividends to capital and surplus is less then 43¢ per cent, The appendix will contain much new statisti- cal informstion in roferance fo the kind of funds held as reserye by banks, and their not profits; also, comparative tables showing the amount of authorized _circulation, _together with popu- lation and - weplth 'in - 1870, eirculation per capila, the atio of circulation to wealth, to capital, and to deposits, under the present systom, and under the State banking Bystem in the yoar 1363, : The importance of frequent examinations b; competent and courteons examiners is state and & small appropriation is asked to defray the expenses of special examinations, in_order_that such investigations may be promptly made, as may be considered expedient for tha protection of credifors. Increased compensation for_gen- tlemen holding responsible positious in office is also urged, —— THE CHARITY BALL. A Brilliant Social Entertuinment at Standard Hall for the Benefit of St. Luke’s Hospltal. The lndy managers of St. Luke's Hospital have renson to congratulate themselves on the socizl wuccess of the entertainment which they gave for the benefit of their admirable charityon Fridsy evening. Standard Hall was well filled with leading representatives of society, who csme in their most brilliant attire, fully aware that the occasion was to be the most pretentious of the kind that Chicago has bhad since the fire. The excellent arrangements of the Standard Club Houso are such s to give a social enter~ tainment the unusual accessories of ample sup- per, retiring and promenndo rooms. The feature of tho Teception, however, was in the general zauch of the characterof a social entertainment a% & private house. A\ elegant table was sef by Werner, the new and fashionable caterer. The elaborafe provision in the way of music, Bupper, and sccommodations, may reduce gomewhat the amoun of money wihich will a:crus to the asylum as the Deb proceeds of the ertertainment, It is hoped, however, thrit the sun willbe o large one after paying all expenses, mnd tho elegsnce and satis- Taction of the recepiicn will serve to render 8t. Luke's Charity Balln permanent annusl feature of Chicago saciety, sothat the hospital's profit will be all the greatsrin the end. No public charity in the city is more deserving of this ad- vnqtn§e,_pngfitcuhrly 28 8t. Luke's is supported entirely by individupl efforts. > Tustly Celebrated. g The justly-celebratid Grover & Boker Bewing ms- chines have been spedal favorites for tho last twenty years, but the Compary, aot entisfied with their pres- ent envisble reputation, havo proluced, after a long series of oxperiments, snd at greatexpense, their new improved shuttle (lockstitch) machines, to which they ‘would now invito spedal sttention,, believing them to be superior to every other shuttldfewing machine in the markot, They are strong, smple, substantial, ‘well made, and, in fort, o masferpiece 6f power and capacity, and, ‘wih all’the rest, the price Is as low as any other firsf-cla machine, and more attachments ax0 furnishod frso.
