REAL ESTATE. A Little More Inquiry for Cheap Lots and' Suburban Lands. Pi'ospect of Active Speculation in the Norihwestern Suburbs, Improvements Around Douglas Park and the South Park, Business Property---Mortgage Loans.-- Building Societies --- Trans- fers for the Week. There appesrs to bo more inquiry, more bar- gaining, and more persons congregated in the real estate dealors, offices than a week or two 2go. The continucd pressure for money, how- over, prevents the consummation of a good many transactions, and keeps the volume of transfars very emall yet. The scarcity of capital —which is unusual for this season of tho yoar— scems to be felt vory largely by the very class of capitalists who aro generally the most *flush ™ of monoy at this timo from the ceipts of their eemi-annual dividends and insur- snco ard bank stocks in ‘New Enpgland and New York State have not paid as well the laot year as_they did previously, and this hos probably had some effect to make the class of capitalists who usnally have had & suplus of profits to invest permanently in eomcthgnsh interost. smount of A large roal eatato feel poorer this year.

But, althouzh Lhey are created under a law of tho Stat which fixes the miethod of operation, tholr safety and success are based elmost exclusively on the good faith of the officers who conduct them, Tho eharcholder, 18 a general rule, ¥hilst thoroughly understanding tho theory of a Buill: inp Association, “knows scarcoly anyihing of the prac- Hcal management of the ome to which be belongs, ‘The annual report tells him thatso much money Lias been received, and that it has becn invested in mort- g2ge loans; But of tho character of th ecurity on Which thoso loans are based he knowa nothing, unlesa ke is of onunusually inquiring and ecrutinizing tarn of mind.

If this point i not already sufiiciently covered by the present statutes, then there exists a deficiency n the organization of this socioty, which should, in somo mznner, e remo- dicd.

W. also proposes to enact special building Iaws, and create an offico of Bullding Inspector. On {his 'point I beg to differ with him; for I firmiy be-| Hove that such act will either ben dead lefier on tha statute book. or & complete nujance, I am somewbat scquainted with tho operation of this Xind of laws in Germany, snd lnow {hat, even there, centrallzed scutely _regulated a3 Governmental power thera is; where offices na yet are dealt out upen merit, and where officers, im- pressed by ‘s _eensa of dat}, are, upon tho whole, in- corrupiiblo; where theso through a century’s experlenco and able critjclsm, are brought up to sone degres of perfoction—even there, under all thess fa- ‘vorablo clrcumstances, obaervance canmot be fully cn- forced, uor will it evcr, The best of such laws are, in Te- and E.F HOLLISTRR & CO. The construction of tho Chicago & Pacific Railroad along Bloomingdale avenue and north- westward through Cazenovia has increseed the | t; accessibility sud value of & large tract of land lying south of the railrosd, between tho Chicago & Pacific and the Galens Branch of tho North- western. A great doal of this property has changed hands at large advances gnring the ~ last ~few _months. The new Milwankeo & St. Paul Road also traverses the eastern part of the district between the two roads, and adds largely to its accossibility and value, a0 that by the construction of these two reason for en sdvance in values. actual improvement that will bo made in that quarter of the suburbs begins to show for itself. next summer, from the building of the grest Northwestern Railway shops, a milo west of Central Park, to the bn.ildjn§ of half-a-dozen new suburban stations this side the Desplaines Harlem. : There is o special activity in ‘sny other quar- tor of the euburbs just at present, though in every direction suburben land is held very firm, and there are fow localities in tho vicinity of the city limits where land can be bought as low as it could last fall. This irspocially tho case with the property along the principal residence avenues south ot the ity limits, and between the South Park and the lake shore. Tha im- provement of the north. end of the South Park’ in thal vicinity, much of which will be improved with residences noxt spring. 24 ALONG OGDEN AVEXUE, weat of Donglas Park, thoro is aiready a good deal of activity, with » prospect of more 3 tho epring advances.

Ountsido the :border is to be o concrete walk, 8 feot wide, on each side tho avenue.

Tz TpisoNe and some of the other city papors havo sovoral times warned tho public against 8o-called “ Boulevard Bubdivision,” locatad in o Bwamp seven or eight milos west of Washing- ton Heights. But during the last ten days, a re- spectable but not very smart citizen of Wayne County, Ohio, come up to Chicago, and traded his dwolling-house with throe acres of ground, and also & sawmill, all in W&:Fna County, near tho Town of Wooster, and worth probably 87,000, to a swindling fellow here for twenty ut- terly worthless lots 1n_the * Boulevard Addi- tion" above mentioned. There are, probably, transactions of this kind taking place sll the time. Uhe victims, in most cases, do mot find ont the swindle for ome time, and then are fro- quently too much ashamed to undertake tho task of recovery, which is, in fact, a difficnlt matter, and involves no little expense.

Compulsory Inspection Detrimental to Chicago Interests, The Legislature Asked to Imitate the Example of New York. The Committee on Miscellaneons Subjects of tho Board of Trade mot again yesterdsy aftor- noon to conider tho question of changing the Inw relative to tho inspection of grain, etc. Tho Chair, Mr. PBraiard, stzted tho Iowa wheat waa being carriod by.tho Central and the Northwestern to Milwaukeons cheaply as they carried it to Chicago. The reason was, that Mil. woukee graded wheet according to quality, and not weight, and hence it way graded higher. The Northwestern was carrying Towa wheat through Chicago to Milwaulkee. # Mr. Bacon stated that much of tho wheat which reached Milwaukes came from Xinnesota, and was of superior auality to that received at Chicago. The Ingpeetors at Milwankee graded up tho whoat which they received from points tributary to Chicago, and made it rather higher than that received from points properly iriba- tary to Chicago. It was a scheme to get busi- ness from this city. Mr. Randolph swid Milwaukee had fer yoars been in the habit of inspecting favorably grain drawn from competing points, always inépecling it higher than Chicago. He did not think this placo ehould try to mect snch & competition, but keep its own -stendard of inspections just what it was. Nor,would the city losoby it in the long ru;, o Mr, Watren stated t Lot the Milvaukee grade was el kept np, and thet the Inspector was not governed by locality but by tho intrinsic valuo of tha whest. Here they wero, to s grent extent, governed by weight, the result being that wheat which was as good 1s Ko, 1 was in- spected No. 2. Jir: Randolph ecid that under the law, weight cid not abeolutcly govern the . ~ Mr. Wight offered a proposition changing the grades of grain in some rospeots. It was pro- posed to strike ont any limitation of weight for No. 3 winter wheat, which Mr. Bnndclgh Op- osed, while others insisted that it would be bet- Fer o Teavo it out. . Corn is graded ss whits, yollow, and high mised, consistiog of three- querters yellow. The weight standard is loft out in grading spring wheat. Ar. Cufvcrobjguuted to going into too much dotail at present. What hio most foared was po- litical :fipalntmonlu of officers. The Board was too emall for the work to bo done. Thare should be a Commission for Inspection alono author- ized to nppoint the Inspectors and fix the grades, all exponses to bo paid by the grain. It s wrong for the grades to bo fixed by law, théroby being unchangecblo. It was impossibla to fix grades by law which would meet a serics of crops. New crops should eomotimes be kept separato from the old—a matter which the pres- enc law did not cover. The Commission should slso serve ss a BDoard of Appeals in ispute as to au inspection.” The In- a8 uGW supreme. There was no wa: for_settling claims for damages. Ho b nothing to #ay egainsi Mr. Tompkins, but, like other men, balad mado errors and blundors. His chiof fear was that the wholo business would bocome political, to partly cure which the Commiesioners should given low eala- ricz, He*bad great confidence in Governor Baveridge, but they might not alwaya be as for- tuuste in an Exccutive. Mr. Drainard did not think it quite. timo to gzinw dotails of grading. Thoy had better discuss mein qnestions first. BMr. Wright agreed with BMr. Culver that, as threo-fourths of the grain received boro belonged to Chicago mer- chants, =~ they ashould Lo enabled to clagsify it, 50 as to make as much as possibloe out of it.~ Now they could not, for the inspectors hod an inflexible rale. Tho tradd was going to Milwaukeo or Toledo, or through to the East, since })copla could not stand Chicago Inspection. Ono of hizcustomers hed constantly sent throngh to Now Youk. The farmers were injuring Chi- cago commerce, under 2 mistaken idos that they were protecting themsolves. ‘They ebould ba taught that their intcrests were idoniical with thoso of Chicngo, He held all compulsory in- spoction wrong. The owners of the grein should be tho only ones to classify it. Chicago mer- chants could not compots with others under this compulsory system. 1% cost tho State £600,000 a year if it cost ooly & cent a bushel. Could tho State afford such an expenditure to support o Board ? It would bo better topension all the politicians. Ho icved a Committoo, could intluence the Legislature to allow mer- chentato menago their own affairs. The Com- mitteo shonld report resolutions to be acted on by the full Board, Ho submitted the following : Reaolred, That all Stato laws establishing Boards of Inspectors, and maintuning compulsory inspection under the same, aro detrjmental to the intorests cf commerce, and ehould bo ropealed. Rcsolced, That our Legisiaturs is hereby requested to imitate’ the wise cxamplo get by the State of New York, fa ridding commerce from the incumbrance o any and all compulsory inspection laws. - Resolved, That Chicago merchants, wish unrestricted commereial Tights, are prepered to maintain the su- premacy of Chicago againat the competition of all | vals, Resolced, That the President be, and s hereby fn- structed t0 appoint a Committeo of thrco which shall be charged with representing theso views to our State Legislature now in seasion... . If they were passed, the supremacy of Chicago conld bo maintained, and they would hear of no more wheat .going from here to Milwhukeo. There had been no complaints of inspection, since thoro was no npscn[. The Inspectors were under no control, and inspected according to their own views. Ar. Randolph said tho case” was not parallel between here and New York. There the grain oamo in in small parcels. It muat be inspected, and there must be an assurance the inspection would be obaerved. The absence of inspection had drawn tho Board to ask tho Legislature todo somothing. Thero must be some control ovar that which went into warehouses, and that was all which the State attempted to control. No private body could do that, and, if not done, the ain trade Was ingecure. Mr. Wright was not against an ection, but against & compulsory inspection ‘0 under the State, He wanted a voluntary 'and elastic oue. The inspection was good before the State took bold of 1t. He favored a law, however, to pre- sorvo the intogrity of the grain after it went into tho warohouses. Mr. Randolph atated he had not fally under- stood Mr. Wright. Mr. Richards eaid if the State gave any au- thority in the matter, it must be full and com- plete.” Chicago merchants shonld not be em- powered to inspect grain they did not own, to tho advantage of what they did. They could not ask the State to allow a fow persons in Chi- cago to fix grades for the State. The question of grades was sgain tsken up,’ and that of oats cad corn was discussed for some time. The lo of yellow corn was be- lieved by some to be uselcss, if there.waa sucha one as * highmixed.” - Mr. Wolcott thonght Chicago could not com- pete with Milvaukes under the prescnt system of inspocting wheat. Tho Milwaukee wheat was better than that received at Chicago. Tho, mixed fine Minnesots with other grades, an made a fair ave, grade. ! It waa stated that most of the Minnesots wheat was graded on’the Mississippt River, and f'.;x“ graded here or ot Milwankeo just as it was ere, two years ago, and the result was not satizfac- }o : It was not the inspection that was-at ault. r. Wright_ingisted that it was, and tho ia- spectton wes drawing trede cway. gentleman wanted the’ commission di- vided, sinco tho railrond quest:: as one Board conld hendlo.” The Grain Comm; sion must be here, and should bo appealed 1> from the judgment of the Inspoctor. 'Luo greas railroad guestion was, whether thsy wero ro- sponsible for the property entrusied io them. If a farmer delivered 10,000 bushols of corn to s road, that exact amount shonld bo delivered hero. It tho principle of responsibility was eatablished, many warohouso sbuses ‘would be remedied. The Commissioners must disabusa thomselves of tha idea thoy had to meet oncea month and do nothing. Thay wero expected by the people to settleall theso points, and that speedily. Ar, l{:\ndnlph 83id tho Commiltee had heard nothing to tho point. Alr. Wright wanted no Btate inspection all. He favored it onca, but tvo years ago it was_useloss to ask the Legistatura to allow the Board of Trado to do tho inspaction, owiuito the projudice in tho country against tha Board. He had then opposed ths blending of railroads and warelonses, but was not listened to. The opinions of conntry membors were now somewhat modified, and he " beliavod they would consent to divide the Board and allow tho ware- house cumymies to fix grades. They should ask tho Legisiature todo that or to adopi IMr. \‘V;ixghb‘n proposition. T. Wolcott thought the present system of inspection a3 against Chicago. Alr. Wright would take all he could get, even if ho could not got all his righta. Still he would: like to have his proposition pass zs it was, He moved the Committee recommond that tho . Directors send » Committos to Springficld. Tia State should give up any inspoction, but etill regulate the warehouses and see that thoy ac'ed a8 transfer agents. He bolieved tho presont warokouse managoment was all right. Tho Chair said the warchonses were willinz fo do what was right, and to have their bouks examinod, ote. Mr. Wright'a resolutions wero adopted. The meeting adjonrnod. T e MERCHANTS’ INSURANCE CORiPA Second Meeting of tho Creditors—A Dividend of Four Per Cent Declure:d. A meeting of the creditors of tho Merchants' In- surance Company was held in' the United States District Court-room yesterdsy afterncon, Reg- “ister Hibbard in the chair. There were over one - hundred persons present. Tho Register eaid tho meoting had been called for tho purpose of hearing what the Assignes had done sinco the last generzl meeting. The supplementary ro- port of the Assignes showed that thera was o balance in bank to hLis credit of £183,034.95. The total amount of debis proved, on which a dividend of 4 por cont had been paid, was £5,250,~ 000. Since the last meeting claims amounting to $006,257.78 had -been proved and allowed. A dividend of 4 per cont wonld have to be paid on the latter amount bofore the other claimanta ro- ceived anything additional. The Assignee, Ar. Rollo, sald tho amonnt which had Deon proved, and npon which a divi- dond was to be paid, was $5,836,237.63. 9 ‘The Register did not think the balancein ‘bank would justify a dividend of 3 per cent ad- ditional, as thero was abount $150,000 of un- proved claims which wero lizble to be presented at any time. He did not think it would be safe to pay moro than 6 per cont in all. Offaots wera cleumed by gome persons, and there wero whab were called preferrod claims. He had decided that the latter should be classed with tho other claims, and Judge Blodgett would bo appealed to to review his opinion. A creditor asked what the securities in the hands of the Assignee consiated of. The Assignee replied that he had bonds snd mortgages and reel catato. Ofaets eggregating £15,111.10 wero claimed againat the mortgages. Soveral creditors spoke in_favor of declaring an additional dividend of 8 per cent; others thgg_gh: 234 per cent was all that could be safely Al p No objection being offered, the Register an- nounced that 214 per cent additional would ba paid to those who hod received 4 per cent, axd 614 per cent to thosa who had received nothing. The dividend would bo paid in ebout threo weeks, that length of time boing required to propare the checks, &c. 6 mesting thea adjoarnod DEATH OF DR. ). ). CARLIH. In June, 1866, John J. Carlin, son of the lats Philip Carlin, of this city, graduated with dis- tinguished honors at Notre Dame University, Indizna, at the age of 17 years. He at onco en- tored Rush Medical Collge, where he was a stu- dent for two years. Inthe fall of 1863, ho left for Europe and entered the Medical Depariment of Dublin University, and remaised therp prose- cuting his etudies, until, in 1870, daring tho French and Prussian war, he joined the volun- teor ambulance corps, ranking as an Asaistant Surgeon.

Sub- sequently, in consideration of his specisl ser- vices to the Prussian wounded, ho received from that Government the Iron Cross of Prussia. He renowed his studies in the University. In ad- dition to his long course of medical study, he . was an accomplished scholar and linguist.
