The Piano OF THE PRESENT The Piano OF THH FUTURE. 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 other makers are now compe}l- 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. g 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- meost equal to that of a Grand. 5. Xt occupies very little space. 6. Its beauty as a piece of parlor furniture, 9. Easyfora ladyto open orclose. 8. Easily moved from one room to another. i 9.

Replanting the North Side Trees. Real Estate Transfers for the Weels. The volume of transfers continues to dimin- ish from week to week, thongh nomore than is usual at this season; in fact, there is considera- ‘bly more property selling now than at this time 1ast year, and the prospectis that the demand for conveniently located residence lots nex spring will induce as great activity as there was last spring for this class of property. Even suburban Iands by the acre—s class of property which it was generally expected would be diffi- cult to sell—is being ingnired for to a considera- ble extent by speculators, in anticipation of the demsnd forlots then. Thereis, however, amore legitimate demand beginning for & class of mearer residence property for occupation next summer at pricea ranging from 8100 to $200 per front foof. An instance of this is a salo made s day or two ago by Messrs. Marshell & Dickson, of 126 feet frond on the morthesst corner of Adams and Seely streets, at $125 per front foot (on longtime). On this 8 block of 6 swell-front Tesidences will be erected. On the southwest corner of the same streots, another block of 8 residences is also be- ing erected. A BPLENDID RESIDENCE QUARTER. No suburban district about the city is likely toshow 80 grest s chango in appearance from the building of beautiful residences next spring, as that east of State street and south of Fortieth street, as far as say Sixtieth street. Those patts of Michigan_avenue and the two Boule — Drexel and South Park,—within the dis-- trict mentioned, will _be orpamented! enrly mext spring with a_ dozem or more private mansions that would be creditable to the finest residence quarter of any city: Lgn the northwcat corner of Michigen svenuo and Forty-first stréet, Mr. Pickett is to build a residence to cost at least $15,000.. 'On the northeast comer of Michigan avenus and Forty-third street, Mr. B. F. Murphy is pre- aring to build a very fine houso on a lot 139 ?eu?. front by 160 feet deep. B On the southwest corner of Michigan avenuo and Forty-third street, Mr. John B. Sherman is ‘preparing to build his private Tesidence. - On the northwest corner of Michigan avenue and Forty-fifth atreet, Mr. Hoxie iamaling prep- arations to bild » splondid residenco. q On Michigan, avenuo north of Forty-sixth strest, Mr. Sheppard will set out & large number of handsome trees, and make other important improvents plu aratory to building. n Drexel Boulevard, northesst corner.of Forty-sixth street, Ar. T, 8. Dobbins is building »house that will cost probably 860,000, On Drexel avemue, st Fity-second aireet, Mr, B, F. r in prepanng to build a house to cos! Trom 815,000 £ 820,000, These .are only a few out of the many of the same glass that might be enumerated s pretty sure toe in progreas in the same district early next spring. ichigan avenue maintains its first-class resi- dence character for a greater distance than any other strest in or_sbout the city, and in this ro- upnbbrmy'L -called the residence street par of.: B \~ On South Par] ere is not a fook & frontage an; g:rmm-fim: and yuhero l L Fitty-second streets to be had now for legs than §300 per frontfoot.

While these prices will prevent the occupation of the lots on any of these three fine streets with cheap houses, they are still Iow enough to i induce people of wealth and taste to buy large lots for smple ds. It will be & good while . before the best residence avenues’ be buil up as compactly south of Fortieth street as Lhc{ are north of Thirty-fifth street, but, from present appearances, it will be a very short time until ™o -entire frontage of the three fine avanues “sbove mentioned will be enclosed and besutified i Iargo lots as adjuncts to some of the finest o grivne residences in Chicago. The poeople who yuy and build on this ground aro in nearly.all cases men ~of wealth, .who, will each hold 50 or 100 feet of frontage—beaides that occupied by their own residences—as _an investment for their children. Certainly, with the present pros- pects of Chicago, and of all the property in ths district in question, there is no investment so certain to increase at the average rate of from 20 to 30 per cent per annum for the next twenty ‘years. THE RIVERSIDE IMPROVEMENT COMPANY. The folly and injurious effects to the whols city of_ill-advised real estate speculations, en- tered into without capital, and foated .along from month to month by Kiting ‘money obliga~ tions, is illustrated in ;the shower of suits, in- junctions, judgments, and executions that have Tallen on the Riverside Improvement Company, and dispelled tho arcadian drcams of its proprietors, Thereis a style of financial jug- Elin in real estate speculations, ss well as In anging. insurance, and trade, which attempts to build great structures on no substantisl foendation, which, in ninety-nine caces out of & hundred, topple down, to crush not only their architects, but those Whose capital, under ona protence or another, they have managed to bor- Tow. Inmost cases these exgenmve experi- ments are only made possible by means of a quasi indorsement from well-known capitalists, who aro, in fact, a8 consurable for the injury o the community 28 the direct mansgers of tho schemes. The project of the Riverside Im- provement Company was to build sn ideal suburban town. Hsd the Company posscssed some capital, and nndertaken somethin, on & _more economical ecale, an in & jnfl.icéngxfllly {gi!caz{]ed Iacnté?:flh fl;e? i8 eve robabilif 6 energy ye its r:gfgera du.g:g Hhio last ted years would have realized s handsome profit. But lacking all these elements of success, it became appa- rent a year ago to all poople of good judmi that the enterprise must fail as it has. ile we have from time to time noted the remarka- ‘ble improvements in road-making and beautify- ing grounds at Riverside, as legitimate matters for comment, and examples of what should ba done in quarters where such expenditure was more appropriate, e have also indicated from time to time that there was, at least, no specula- tion in buying property at Rivorside at the prices made necessary by the lavish expenditure of moving there. The total indebtedness of the Compauy is ‘probably not far from 1,000,000, of which tho ‘property on which they have & would not pay over 80 per cent. The remaining 70 pec cent will be a dead loss to those who hava ‘bought the bonds, notes, and other contrivances by which the Riverside Improvemont Company have managed to borrow money of the public ta try their experiment. When the facts come to be fally known, showing where this loss falls, ‘peoplewill begin to realizethe effects of locking- up mgmxlmmm speculations in real estate, wild because they are undertaken without refer- ence to the tendency of the cit{ to growin cer- tain directions, but_ particulaily so when they are_undertaken without any investment of capital by the projectors themselves.
