Capitalists are rusticating for the summer, and operators are gotting a good roady for the fall and winter campaign, In insido proporty ou- pecinlly scarcoly anything fs doing, Indecd, it 48 A fast that may s woll be stated ‘that, on tho South Sido along the bordors of the groat fire district, both iuside and outeide of it, properiy has deprocintod from tho rates ruling six months after tho firo from 20 to 60 por cont. There aro no eales latoly that wo hear of to determino oxactly what the range of prices is, When » large lino of property—that to which wo linve referred, for instanco—sinks bolow former figuroy, it is always hold, if possible, till tho gradunl appreciation, about surs to como in tho ounward progross of the city, brings it up to pro- vious pricos, Tho eamo doprecintion is ro- portod in the property on the West :Side noar tho river, for which thero wns so prossing o domand for use immediately aftor the firo. Building is going on on the North Bide as fast 08 could bo expected, but prices aro much below those ruling boforo the fira, Of course, tho wenlthy people who lived enst of Clark streot, espocially on tho beautiful gore of land east of Dearborn, will not sell their lota at any offor thoy will bo likely to got. They aro attached to their old homes, and many of them aro building fino rosidoncos to replaco thom. We notico more building in blocks in this part of thocity than formorly,—a good move, for rontals can theroby bo afforded at choaper rates. TOUAES WANTED. Ono of ourleading firms roports quite a de- mand for houses of tho better but not more ex~ ponsive class, say from $7,000 to $12,000. Inquiries are medo by portios from sur- rounding citios as far Wost as Omaha. Thero has beon, snd will continue to be, a Isrgo accession to our business circlos from all dircctions, With new Chicago so rapidly devel- oping, far-sccing men deem it best to cast in their Jot. Woshall doubtless have reasonable ronts for somo years to como., This, with our splondid parks, magnificent drives, nnd other at- tractions’ and menns for tho onjoyment of wealth, will, within the next year or two, add Targely to the woalth and thio population of tho city. “These attractions will ‘increaso rapidly as years roll onward, When our Lalf dozon patks uro finished and our boulovards_connacting thom, of morc than twenty-five miles, ontirely around tho city, are comploted, Chicago mn; challenge the world for anything more splondid. OUTSIDE PROPERTY. Some oporators report considerablo demand for outside acre property. Several permancnt eales will be noticed in the lists givon bolow. Bouth of the ity still soowms to bo the favorito lucality, Considernblo i also doing in proporty about the Wost Side parks, A corrospondent gonds ua tho following : WEST OF HUMDOLDT PARK. To the Edilor of The Chicago Tribune Notable changes have talien placo in this soc- tion during the pust month, and wo misjudgo the engacity of buyorsif thoro is not decidedly more actiyity there during tho next thirty days, This is n handsomely-located tract, within four to four and a half miles of the business centre, bigh enough to aford thio bost of drainngo, and with facilities for ecnmsy accoss. Tho St. Paul Railway, wilh its dopot at Madison street bridgo, has orectod & handsome station near Division street, on Central Park avenuo, and arc mnow perfecting arrangoments for frequont suburban trains, It may safoly be assumed that for busingss men and.mechan- ies no more convenient landing than Madison stroot bridgo can Do offorod, and thero it overy renson to beliove that the Bt. Paul lino will bo vory gn ular for suburban business, ‘e puv- ing of Grand avonue has long been regmded de- sirable, as affording a continuoua paved drive from this section to tho centro of tho city, though loolied upon 88 & thing of the futuro, ‘Those who have not been over the ground dur- ing tho last ton days will be gratified to know that the contract is alroady lot, and this impor- tant work is rapidly being pushed to complation. Ono or more fine artesian wells are already yield- ing an abundant flow of pure_water, which is now boing utilized by the Park Commissioners, for irrigating tho troca that lino the ndjncent boulovards. From tho energy displayed by hold- ors of property in developing this section it is oasy to foroses a rapid growth of population and o rapid riso in values. ) 'LAKE BHORE DRIVE, ‘Chis drive, at the south ond, bogins at o point six hundrod foot east of Bt. Clair streot, on Iudiana streot. From there it will run duo north to the Wator-Works, passing that placo on tho esst side. Irom the Wator-Works it deflocts slightly wostward and intersocts with the *“‘Lincoln Park Lake-Shore Drive” at Oak stroot, and from thenco it continues, in the same direction, to North avenue, whoro it con- nects with Loncoln Park, The Drive from the Bouth end Slndinnn stroot) to Onk stroot will bo 160 feot wido. Nothing has boon done, as yot, on this portion of tho line, excopt obtaining tho right of way from certain citizens. As soon o8 this right is fully obtained, tho work which “is to bo done by pri- vato enterprise, will no doubt commonce. The drive from Ouk strect to North avenus will bo 200 feot wide, Tho right-of-way has beon granted on this portion from Bank stroet north to North avenuo, which is one-third of the dis- tance of tho drive to bo constructed by the Park Commissionors, A largo force will bo placed on this portion of the line during the prosont weol, aud tho work will be pushed until complotod, It will intorsect tho plor at North avenuo at o point about 800 foct from the Iake shoro, gradu- ally approaching the shoro as it is comploted south, Tho water is from ono to throo foet in dopth from Bank streot to North avonue, and the crown of tho drive will bo an averago of soven feot abovo the luko. The rrntucfion nocessary on account of the depth of the water will bo nomrlowd at n cont of sbout 8100,000, and will bo of the most substan- tinl and approved kind of pior-work, From North avonus north, tho drive will de- floct wentward to s point in Lincoln Dark, be- tweon Doarborn anil Btato stvoots, whoro it is i»)xogouud to moketho grand ontrance to tho ark, TILE CEMETERIES, Tho old Catholic Comotory adjolning North avenue, botweon Doarborn sircot and the lake, and diroctly weat of that portion of the drive which {stobe first constructed, is soon to be 1nid out, by tho Bishop, as residenca proporty, Progross I being mado in tho oxhuming of bodios in the Onfeago Cemotary as rapidly as ox- changos of lols can be made with lot-ownora for lote in other comotorlos.

To the Editor of T'he Chicago Tribune : Bm: Now ia tho Limo to bulld, becauso mo- torial of all kinds aro abuudant and choap ; num- bers of mechanics aro out of omployment, and enger to work at ronsonablo wagos, All things couaidered, no moro favorable timo to construct substantial stores and dwellings will probally accur ngain for many yonrs, and thoso poruons who have vacant lots and spare funds can hardly act more wisely than to improve iheir property during the cheap-lebor season, It will take ono year to construct s largo building, and, st the oxpiration of that time, business will doubtlesn ravive. Tho saving in labor and materinls in decidodly in favor of buildingnow, and will moro than componsate for tho loss of & fow months' rent, X, FROM LINCOLN PARK TO WAUREGAN. A rocont opportunity for s moro caroful view of suburban jutorests on the lake shore, north of tho city, botwoen the city and Waukegan, & distanco of twenty-six milcs, was sfforded by a continuous drive ovor the routo, the writer thus securing an advaninge of more caroful and thorough inspection thon can bo given to the possenger on tho cars. Tho woll-filled subur- bon trains on the Milwaukco Division of tho Chicago & Northwestern aro o daily and froquent proof of the favor in which homoes iu the varied, well-wooded aud romantic villages of this region botween tho railrond and the Inke are hLeld by & growing class of our citizons, not only tho woll-to-do whoso ambition takes the shapo of o villarosidonco and grounds corresponding in sizo and dovolopment, but the more huniblo, moro numorous, and even more coveted, coun- try cottage Lomes to be carned and paid for out of the snlary and wages of the employe and tho meclianic, Cur purpose ig to rofor {0 the esson- tinl and distinctive foalurcs of this region as a wholo, lenving for auother oceasion spocific and flut:ilud mention of the dillcrent points, And J TIE GENERAL LAY-OUT is made by tho railrond, with its froquont sta- tions, running parullel to tho lake-shoro, distant {rom one to two miles, tho belt boing mainly oc- cupied by tho suburban towns, whose chief charm 18 tho lake-shoro, nnd whoso chief strongth i tho railrond communieation that ~ givos froquont trains and cheap rates between tho suburban homes and tho heatt of businoss in Chicago. Taking theso two foatures, tho luko shoro and thoratlroad communication, both of which should be used aud employod to aid porfect dovelopment, Ono fact is noticenble at nearly every point whero a suburban village bas beon luid out. The lake ehoro foaturo, 80 casily aud cheaply socured, has been almost utterly neglocted, and the railroad track at numerous painta has' boen made by tho owners of tho villago plats a detriment and posi- tive and permnuent source of peril and danger to o dogreo that ecoms ulterly unaccountntle, oven whon an averago estimate is made of the worltngs of unrestrained humnn stupidity. The drive from Chicago to Waunkegan should have Leen made one of the most beauti- ful on the coutinent, rivaliug the altractions of the Iudson Rivor. It shonld lave kept the Inko eliore, and boon opencd through onch anceesivo tract doveloped aloug tho Inke front, o%flnlng oll privato estatos west of the drive. Above Evauston tho shores of the lake aro beautifully bold and picturesquo, and at times tho travelar on such & highway would look ont from & hoight of from 60 to a 100 feet ovor tho bluo oxpavee. It would lave bonefited evory property-ounor. Tt vould havo equalizod the frontage in its valucs, It would have so- cured a ling of homes fronting on the lake shore tho entire distance. In proof of tho featurcs of boauty 8o ensily available can be adduced a small portion ~of the shore road from Lvavston to Gleucoe, at somo points of attroctiveness. Al Glencoo, tho shoroe road turns shurply wost, aud from that point lics alongsido the railrond track tho entire distanco for some fifloon miles, through tho growing villagos of Gloncoo, Lakeside, Winuetka, ighiood, and Highland Park, tho frequont rush of swife trains, o porpotual dread of timid drivers aud & peril to fumily partics of women and childron. Aharanes ‘muny points where it is actunlly more dangerous driving on thin straggling country rond than on the most busy city street, and tho evil will grow sunually with tho inresso of trains and popnlation, Betweon lflghlnud Park and Tinke Forest a considerablo portion of tho old rond nearer the Inke hos been abandoned, and travel forced wostward upon & new road closoly parallel to tho railrond track. Tho heads of the parties who mado this change might be economically utilized for block pavement that would wear forover, Now, when it is considered that this shole mngnificent area north of tho city is designed for homes, and resorts, and drives for women and children during tho hours of the day when husbnands and fathors are in Chicago, and timid and weak drivors must bo in_the majority, tho protest cannot bs too loud nor too enrnest against the monstrous stupidity of forcing the pony oquoestriang and phaotondrivers of all theso villagos to ride in constant peril from passing traing for milos betweon all thesoe villages, bo- causo tho proporty-owners are too ignorant to make for them n_groat, enfo, common, magnifl- imnt through highway ou, or at lenst nearer, the ake. As it to doubly indorso this stupid 8y st sov- oral poluts, it i8 noticeable that even tho first villngo improvemonts have beon built facing the railway track, and separatod only by siingy streot, instend of froutiug thoe houses tho othor way, and fiiviug the rear to the railway. There aro a hundred new houses thus placed at vari- ous points this sido of Lake Forest that are sbsolutely unsafa to bo visited by any one who must leavo a apirited horse standing in front. Iu this wise, with proporty as choap as this? Are theso evils light whon they affeot property that may be wndo as desirable as this? ~ Tha ‘wholo system needs to be reformed, and it can be by timely concort of action. Nuture hasdone overything, Improvements, 8s & whole, havo, thus far, only marred her design. 8he has done hor part towards making one of the finost drives for 40 miles, and one of tho most besutiful rosidonco districts in the world, Though lato, lot man do his, AUOTION BALES, The fact that many porsons are absent from tho city and the weathor warm has causoed a par- tial suspension of business in this line, tho par- tios offeriug believing they caunat do full jus- tico to their customers undor the cironmstances.

NONTIf SIDE RESIDENCES, The roturn to the North Side by tho ante-fire population is rapidly taking placo, nnd thore is gront notivify in the rebuilding of rosidences, ,Tho old contres will bo closoly followed, but tho stvie and costliness of tho resideucos eroctod and being orected will far excoed thoso of for- mor doys, Among tle improvuments now going on may bo mentionod : On Buperior, near Pino, throo brown-atono octagon fronts, building by .

To the Editor of T'he Chicayo T'ribune: Sm: The task involved in this projoct hinges on tho following points : The sito (s square 330820, bordored by four streots of equal chur- acter) ; our climato and views of comfort ; our political and social institutions ; and the dignity of our city. First—Tho sito rationally conditions the fronta of tho building to b, inits main lines, parallol with the a!reol-liyefl, whethier cornors aro left squaro or cut diagonally, This is aaclear to un cducatod architocl as is the necessityof placing n columu in its normal position, bate bolow and capital above,~an established custom which no ivnovator can very well upset. It also condi- tions a porfect equality of the four fronts, Second—The American climato aud views of comfort domand abundanco of air and light to all rooms and corridors, bosidos couveniont ag- cess to the oflices. Third—Our institutions call loudly for a spa- cious court in which mass meetings can be held. Fourlh—The dignity of our city domands a noble structure, with a lofty domo surmounting its contro. H To this is added, as o matter of courso, the over-montionod and yet-so-little-understood point of economy, Economy signifios that the menns must be in proportion with and adaptod tothoond; it is equivalent to prudonce. To doviso thoso menns in tho wholo and in dotail, for tho undorstandiug of tho common artlsan, s tho task of tho oxport architoct, .upon whose sagacity and skill the succees (econ~ omy) doponds,—particularly so in o case whoso constructions throughout “reach boyoud the knowledgo of oven tho bottor class of our me- chanics. A *‘toomuch” of meaus is simply sheor waate; & ‘‘too little” is many & time worse than mero waste. A rational application of the points as atated would rosult in the following goneral plan for our Convt-Tlouse : First—1ho form of the building is & hollow square, with cornors eut off to afford convonient ontrancos, Sceond—The principal rooms oxtend soross the wholo body, from streot to court, in order to havo light and air at both ends. This would cor- tainly afford light aud air also to all minor rooms, which “otherwiso (as exomplified by tho plans 'in Kontueky Bluok) becowme poorly pro- vided, Third—The ontire court (160 by 200) has a roof of iron aud glass, surnionnted by a lofly (yet light) iron dome, whose saslimay bo oponod or shut a8 comfort would dictate. This court, with its gallerios, would afford space for more than 10,000 people in muss-meoting. ! Fourth—1In placo of datk and dreury corridors, there aro opon gallerics, wido enough for con- veniont passago, and accossible from opon irou staivways placed in (ho court, Signs may bo slncod agalust the railing of th gallorios, dos- Jiaatiing i Jatgo sharuchons Win donarioant ond branch whoso entrauce-doors aro opposito, #o that a_stranger mony, without much troublo of inquiriry, find tho oflcers whom ho wishos to soe. Buch arrangement of plan wonld indoed afford the essontial olomonts of an _American style of architecture. 8iyles of avchitocturo cunuot Lo invented at will, nor contrived at random. Thoy aro tho gradunl and slow rosult of the unfailing Influoncen of climato, social habits, and political institutions, Arohitccturo iv indeod most truly subjoct to tho gront Jaw of Lvolution, Lot ua pay due rognrd to those circumstancos, as they are peenliar to us; aud, from whatover ago or nation, or subvorted civilization, wo may take tho *‘motive” for forms, wo are sure to have with & building of significance and import—a beginning of & peculing style.
