REAL ESTATE. Tuvostments in Real Estato and the Fluotuations of Prices, Causes of tho Present Quictude in the Market, Cessation of Auction Sales and Pros- pects of Activily Next Spring. The North Shore Drive---Lake View Items, Ete. Tronsfers for tho Weelk, Tho fashion of saying somothing onca n wook about tho real catato “markot” often makos tho impression with some that thera are fluctuntions in pricon of realty witbin such poriods. Thia is orronsous in somo respocts. To fluctusto monns both to riso and fall. Thus far,for tho past ton years, the movoment of pricos of real ostato In Chicago has boon only to riso, Tho obly ox- coptions to tho rule in that timo woro the tem- porary depreclation of real estate in the burnt disteint,in consoquonco of tho destruetion of tho buildings and tho dilviug awey af tha nopulation snd business, aud ngain tho dopreciation 1n e ‘valuo of proporty immediately surrounding the burnt district whon business gravitated back to its old localitios, Thosoaro tho ouly ivstancos of a fall in tho prica of real ostate in Chicago in ton yenrs. Witk thoso exceptions, the move- mont of pricos in all parts of tho city has boen upward. In this souso of tho word, prices of ronl estato cannot bo waid to fnctuato oxcopt whon poriods of ten or fiftoon: yoars are taken into consideration. It roquiressome groat ovent to causo o declino in values and prices of real estate. Tho only ovonts of tho lnst tventy years that have caused any decline in tho value of Chicago roal cstato wore, tho commercial orisis of 1857, tho war of tho rebollion, and the great flro. Tho firat was o general collapse of commercial credit which obliged peoplo to turn tholr proporty into monsy, and consoqnently forced it upon tho market to the highest hidder. ‘The socond threatoned the oxlstonco of tho Gov- ornment, and dostroyed confidonce in the valuo of ovorything but partable property. Tho third reomod to threnton tho oxistenco of tho city. From tho first and third of theso events tho value and prices of proflurty bogan to recover in a fow months, and in a yoor from the timo when they were iho lowost thoy had rocovered to about where they woro bofora tho ovonts, Tho recovery from the depression caused by the war was slowor, but os soon a8 {t bocamo apparent that the re. hellion would probably ba subdued prices of roal ostato befian to riso, aud in ono yoar aftor it waa aasurod tho prices of property were probae Dly a8 high o8 boforo tho war, 1t will bo soon that evon such great ovents as above enumerated only causod temporary doclines in the valuo snd rices of ronl estato. = Prices, therefore, cannot 0 #aid to fluctuste, oxcept in loug .pe- riods of yoars which ~ombraco such, great ovents. As long as the country is gonorally prosporous, thore will = bo an accumulation of wealth from the profits of business which must fiud investment {n rol gs- tato as tho ultimato and best attainable scourity, its value boing more permancnt thon anything olso from which a revenuo can bo dorived. Tho investmont in real estato, of course, varies at difforout poriods of tho yoar, and 1 tho groator or loss activity of tho demnnd for such investment i tho only fluc- tuation in connection with snles. Prices romain tha ssmo, but at somo seasons of the yoar thore is more, and at othors loss, domand., The mont active Beason ls always in the Pnfl( spring, this being the soonost aveilablo time for purchases, after the goueral sottling up of business and the intorest and dividond disbureemonts in January, Tho rost of the year 18 always comparatively quict, oxcopt in tho alo of lots to laboring men who in the fall usually invest a portion of their sum- mor's onrningsin o lot for o home. THE MARKET. There have beon no spocial features in con- noction with sales this weok. Thero is a mod- erate volume of both logitimate and speculative buying, such a8 might bo expocted at this sonson of tho yoar, It can mot bo oxpocted that thore will bo much speculative buyln%.\ust at prosent. It is woll understood that, this yoar niore than othors, oapitalists have Deen disposed to keop thoir monoy woll in hand in somo ready, available shape until we shall havo passod the ususl season of monoy strin- goney in Novembor and Decomber. Lut it is ovident to tho mout suporficial obsorver that the prospects for s prosperous year in the Wout, and consoquontly in Ohicago, woro nover better than thoy are now in view of tho abundant crops ana tho "continual influx of population from Europo and tho Enstern Statea.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : 8in : I notico in this morning’s Tninune an article on the adulteration of milk, and, know- ing from exporionco that the writer and thou- sands of othors havo just cause of complaint, T fool like ndding & word on tho subject, hoping that the Board of Hoalth may tako tho matter in hand. kS I was engagod in the milk-business threo years, and govo it up in disgust, innsmuch as I could not soll pure milk and compete with other muilkmen. I simod to sell pure milkat a fair prico, but soon learned thatthose who wors will- ing to pay a fair prico (7 conts) for strictly« pure milk wore fow and far bobweon. And, in_ order to compote ,with tha trado, I must el at G conls, and, 'in many instances, 8s low as 4 conts, ‘which no man can do and live. Those who hava not boen in the milk-businoss little know tho oxpenso incurred, outside of tho cost of tha mifl,—tho woar and tear of wagons, harness, and horses, tho wages of men (o say nothing of tho amount they Luock down), the cost of ice, oto., oto, It thoy know all this, thoy would nof. Do so unwilling to pay = fair price for & good article. Tho writor of tha articlo in this momlng's - per sooms to think that watering milk is the main fault. o is groatly mistakon. Wheu o milkman finds his customors are not willing to pay & roasonablo price for good milk, ho natu- rally concludos ho_must mako the milk to suit their prico. How doos he dojt? Not always by watering, but by a far botter and moro profitable way. Ho skima the milk, taking from two to four quarts of oream from overy eight-gallor can, This ho finds ready sale for at &I per gallon, Of courso this lonvos tho mille rather slakly ; but no mattor,—it i ensily doc. torod, SkallItell you how? Ifo takes aboul & tablospoonful of burnt sugar (in liquid form) to cnoh can of milk, ‘This rostores tho rich, croamy color to such au ostont that the mosi oxporienced dairy-woman would ba_decoived. Hoe also adds trifte of salt, which improves tho taste, Now lio can unblushingly soll his milk a4 o genuino articlo, and no doubt will eall yows attontion to its rich color, which you cannot but. acknowledge ; but, should you wish to sot o fow quarts, with the expoctation of gotting soma croam for your moraing's coflenl you will find oursolf beautifully doluded. Thoro aro other ricks of the trade wupon which I might' enlighton yom, but will not tire you longer al rosont.
