The STEINWAY UPRIGHT, or CABINET PIANOS, have now been before the public for a period of nearly eight years, during which time, on their merits solely, they have stead- ily grown into popular favor until, at the present time, our sales of the Steinway Uprights EXCEED THAT OF ALL OTHER STYLES COMBINED. The decided success of the Messrs. Steinway, in the intro- duction of the Upright Piano into popular use, has made its advantages so manifest that ed to direct their attention to its manufacture; but, as its desira- ble qualities are mainly the re- sult of patented improvements, invented and confrolled by Messrs. Steinway & Sons, this Style of Piano, in its perfection, can only be made by them. The following are some of the points of superiority of the Steinway Upright: 1. Purest and most sympathetic singing tone. 2, Extraordinary durability. 3. Unparalleled capacity for long standing in tune. 4. Volume and power of tone al- most equal to that of a Grand. 5. It occupies very little space, .6. Its beauty as a piece of parlor farniture. 7. Easyfora ladyto open orclose. 8. Easily moved from one room to another. 9. When in use impervious to .| dust. 10. Great capacityfor expressing the performer’s ideas. i ‘We have taken the liberty to refer to the following well- known citizens of Chicago and surrounding cities, who, among many others, have recently purchased Steinway TUpright Pianos: Gage, Rice & Co, Henry M, Smith, A B, Pullman, | A, L Baker, W, Butterfield, John A, Ricey David Blakely, 7, 0, Holden, Lieutensat Generl Phillip K.

The Demand for Suburban and Nearer Residence ® Property. The Assessment in North Chicago and Lake View. Building Notes===Transfers for the Week. Tho volume of transactions in real estate geems to be dwindling down, as is usual at this season of the year. This, however, has little or no significance in connection Witk the feeling of confidence about futnre values, The disposition: toinvest money in realty in & growing city like Chicago is not subjected to revmlsions or re- actions like the terdency to put money in any other kind of investment. Dishonest manage- ment may baokrupt railroad companies and depreciate the value of their stocks and bonds. Banks msy meet with losses and their stocks depreciate in consequence. Partisan legislation - in State Legislatures, or in Congress, may depre- ciate .the value of ‘State, National, and town bonds, and, all things considered, there im nothing in which money can be invested where it is so safe from losa as in city resl; estate. Nothing short of & great internecine. war like that of the Rebellion, or somse great commercial panic like that of 1857, materially affects the value of city real estate unfavorably- But even from the effects of such events as these city real estate more certainly recovera than any other security. Real estate isthe, BAFEST SAVINGS BANK in the world, and it is in this view of the case’ that every man of influence, every employer, ' ghould advise lsboring men and mechanics tor put their savingsinto s house and lot, rather thams inany savings bank, no matter how good its reputation. Mechanics and laborers should ba, ancouraged to buy lots for homes, but cantioned not to buy any piece of ground without going tor see it, walking over it, and getting the assurancel of one or more well-known citizens that that ix the identical ground they are proposing to buy.. ZLand-owners also ehould meet the case of thoser who wish to buy, by building cottages and sell- ing houses and Jots on such terms of psyment ax ill meet the ability of those who would other- 'wise have to put theirsavings into a bank beforer they got enough to make the first of the ordinary payments on purchases of ground. BESIDENCE PROPERTY is in better demand now than business: Sm ertyy; owing to the ymipect of high rents for dwe & next summer. Even suburban land, five or sigy miles from the Court House, in almosd, any d.imefini sells more readily than business ‘property. ‘month 2go, the horse-disease wad, the means of imparting a check to {ransactions in ontside lands, but there is still more disposi- tion to buy than tosell. An instance of thes firmness with which this class of property iz held is shown by Lht;]gnsifive offer and refusal’ of 700 per acze for 113 acres in the 8. W. 3¢ of Sec. 5, Town 87, Bange 14 east, being a mile: north’ of Washington Heights Btation. The same land was bought three anda half years g0 for 865 per acre. R ‘There is also & good demand for nearer resi= dence property that is within the limits of such’ city conveniences as gas, water, sidewalks, sew- s, otc., etc., at prices ranging from $100 ta $160 per front foot, much more of which will e required for actual occupatisn Ummer. The eale of a block of ten brick residences, each two-story and basement, and containi efn ten( small rooms, with bath-room, etc.; located om Johnson place, (between Vincennes and Langlex' avennes) north of Thirty-oighth street, was ef< fected this week by Mesars. J. C. McCord & Co., Tor §170,000, being 57,000 for each house andlot. The lota are 20 feet front by 80 feet deep. TITLES IN WINSLOW, JACOBSON & TALLVAN'S SUB< . DIVISION, ‘We have from Colonel A. Jacobson the state- ment that the $65,000 of notesmade by A. Jacob= son and Thomas P. Tallman, running five, six, and eight years, which appear among the asseta of the dinavian National Bank,were given b them to buy out Winslow’s interest in_the Sl acres of d on North - avenue, Western avenue, Division street, and = Deerpath street. This was done to perfect the title of tha 860 lots that have been sold and partially Pmi for in that addition, and also to place the title of the unsold part I Jacobson and Tallman. ‘Winslow 810,500 of the purchase money off this land, and when he went away, left the op- tion with Jacobson and Tallman to purchase hig interest for $65,000, which they did when the; became_satisfied ho was mot coming back, an would become bankrupt. This, it 18 claime: ve Winslow's account 8 'gr:fic of 854,500 c is purchase. It is stated that these notes wer P iewnted by tho Scandinavian Nationa] Bank, but they were voluntarily placed in th bank by Jacobson and Tallman'as additionz security for Winslow’s creditors. THE ASSESEMENT IN NORTH CHICAGO AND LAR® VIEW. The assessment rolls for the completion of the Lincoln Park purchases are at last ready, and the land yet to_be acquired will be at on taken and the Park be finished and beautifie along its entire grand lake frontage. The getting up of such an assessment 23 thig is & work Tequiring much time, labor, and_skill; and it is only due to the Assessors and Su{hsr- visors of the two towns interested to say thai the general opinion of those interested pro= nounces tha assessmenta fair and equitable oned The Assessor in such cases has, of course, taf consider the benefits accruing to the pro‘i:ertg {rom the pr«:Eossd improvements, and, in OEE this, must take into_account the value of eadl iece of erty and also its &:mximfl:y to tha ark, or to the particular land to be purchased, and weigh them fairlyin coming to a conclusion. It is a fact admitting of no argument thaf thos property beyond the park will be benefitted much more in proportion to its value than the 1ands that Isy between it and the centre of popu= Intion, and thus, Lake View, in the presentin< stance, has to bear s larger share of the ex« pense, compared to its value, than North Chis cago. Thus, while the assessment for generay {ax purposes for 1871 is nearly six times =g eat for North Chicago as for Lake View, th: erritory of the latter is assessed nearly half o the cost of these purchases. Its valuation hes, howaever, always been small in comparison Wity its selling values, ita total valuation for 1871 bae ing on the tax-duplicate less than one millio: while its.real value is probably about fifg mflhcl;i ions, ar, 8ay, half the real value of Norti icago. The Aseessors seem, however, tohave Ignored town lines and Iaid tho expense simply in proe portion to expected benefits. The entire amount of the agsessment coverlng all purckases of land, made or to be made, is $1,200,000; £620,000 of this comes in the towm of Norta Chicago, and 380,000 in Lake View. Bonds for only one-third of this amount, or, ay, £397,000, are to be_issued now ; the remainde: can probably be g&id out of annusal assessments, but, if'not, will be paid in bonds, payable i twonty annual instalments, or, say, $60,000 pe ennum, a sum not very heavy, oven on the press ent real value of the two towns. 2 GENERAL BUILDING NOTES. Throughout the week mildor weather hag {favored out-of-door operations, and bricklzying has been pushed very strongly on numerous buildings Smc, two weeks ago, scemed l~id ovex until next spring. Pending the settlementof tha uestion, whether bricks can be properly lid in the winter, with arguments on both sides of tha - question, it certainly is beiog done. The great school building on the corner of Third svenue and Harrison street is nearly up. The larze brick building on the corner of Adams and Stazg street has made large advancement. Several elegant stores on Waossh avenue, begun sinca October, are going up finely, and in_all parts of the burned _district the interstices between fins ished buildings are presenting numerons token: of preparations, more or less advanced, to flfl these gaps. Itis » compliment to Chicago, that tha Board
