BAtunvAy Evesia, Doc. 6, Tho improvemont fu tho aspect of financial waffairs aud tho increaso of buslness In all parts of tho country bave beon very decldod during ‘tho paat week, aud tho progress winds up with an important riso in tho prices of Wostorn pro- ducts and railrond stocks to-dny. Gold was wvary littlo highor than a week ago, belng quoted at 100%¢ this aftornoon, against 10034 at thoe corresponding timo of Baturday, the 20th ult., but whoat and corn are onch 4 tonls por bushel highor than then, and rallrond stocks are all from 1 to 3 per cont higher than a woeok ago, savy attributo the rise in prices to tha pros foats of warandof inflatiou of thocurrency. The Tact, howaver, that gold haas not advanced would indicato that tho real causo ia tho grnwlnf; nbun- tivity in trado and manufacturing, Sobor-minded pooplo, who sco that monoy is rapidly becoming abun- dnut as confldonce in the goneral solvenoy of tho trading and manufacturing classcs rovives, think it would bo the height of folly to inflate the sur- ronoy now, whon we have got 8o near down to tho ¥ hinrd pan” that the change to a specie bnais could bo mado with less disturbanco to business than at any provious timo siuco tho dango of money and the rovival of ne war, Tho supply of money in this market ia ateadil increaring. The pork packers and lumbor deal- ora_ still requiro large accommodations at tho Dbanks, but thoro is vory littlo demand from other {monta of trado.” In the opon market tho supply of monoy increzscs moro rapidly than in the banks, but prime commorcial ‘{mnur is vory in somo in- atances, in the Inst fow days, ab 10 por cont per aonum on demand Juang which it is tacitly un~ depart scarce. Monoy hes beon loano dorstood by both parties will bo allowed to run woveral months, For specified timo loans of 60 snd 90 days, howevor, 12 por cout is asked yot, though tho supply at that rate is in excess of tho domand. The increased supply of money has cansod an notive lm}(nlry for first-class local stocks, and n od advance in prices has been tho ro- very mar! sult, par for salos botwoon banks, Tho cleariugs of the Chicago banks for tho weok wera : $3,501,603.21 Corresponiling week Iast Turnished by Meesrs, Haminond & Gago : Asked, Flrat Nottonal Bank,, 150 Tifth Nationul Bank. ol T Commercial Nationai Danlk, o T, Morchon'a’ Nattonal Banlk, 200 ..

Aftor more than two months of extrome dull- noss in tho roal estato business thoro has boon o vory positive improvement during tho past weck. There has beon au incroase in the inquiry for, and tho sales of, almost all kinds of proparty, excopt tho highest pricod businoss property in the central part of thocity. The financial sky bas cloared up moroe rapidly during the past ton daya than during any similar poriod sinco the of- fects of tho panic began to disappoar. Money ia becoming plonty, and considorable sums are- now bowg offered on mortgagos at 10 per cent. Thoss whose business it is to lend, of courso, always tall of scarcity, but it is quito cortain that thoro is a good deal of money coming hero now from thoe Eest and from West- oru citios, both for loan on mortgages and for investmont in tho foo of real cstato. From timo to time, wo havo referrod to the probability that tho loss of confidenco in railrosd bonds and Btocks, which have always absorbed so largea proportion of the monoy et afloat at the close of tho year, would causo a large demand for roal estato as ono of tho fow safo and profitable in- vestmonts now left to employ capital, A woek ago, wo moted tho fact that real estate in Now York City and its sub- arbs was in greater domand, nd ono of tho results of this ocondition of things. But capitalists in all parts of the country are beginning to realizo tho fact that, whilo real cs- tate in Now York nd in somo other Enstorn cit- les is throo or four times as high aa it ishero, thore lano placein the United Btatos that has como through the panic so well and with such favora- ‘ble prospects for a large and profitablo business o8 Chicago. Othor groat commoreisl citics, both Enat aud Woat, woro loth to scknowledge this, but shrowd capitnlists in all parts of the country havo, novertheless, found it out, and hundreds of thom aro looking hero for investments in property which they know will advanco moro rapidly in value than inany other city. Tor soveral weeks after tho panic began to subside, tho great majority of capitalista wero donbtful “sbout the ndvieability of roal estate investmeonts, and, when tho purse-strings were first unloosed, tho ownera of money sought investment in the primo nocossitios of life. Wheat and corn and pork and sugar and other similar things, they kuew, woro 8o low that thero could be no loss in buying them. Consequontly thera was, and is yot, & large iuvestment of ‘'money in theso commodities, and an important Tiso in their prices has been the result. - But in January, if not beforo, thore will bo & disposition to real- ize profits, and to invest theso profits in somo- thing of amore conservative character, which though it will advauce much slower, will nof renct, but continue to incresse in valuo from yoar to year. 1t is probable that many foresce this, and that tho increasod inquiry for real ostate ig tho rosult, Itistrue that a good denl of the transforriug of real estato during tho past ten days has been u the liquidation of indebted- noss, and by foreclosuro of mortgages, but there bns slso besn o very positive incroatio in the purchases of property for tho sake of (he in- vostment, Beveral tracts of BULULBAN ACRES have been gold in the last fow days, somo of which we mention in anothor placa” below, and somo for which tho transactions bave not boon ontiroly closed up yot, and tho partios docline to ive publicity to the particulars until thoy are. gnluu of acros west of Contral Park, in the vioinity of the Northwestorn car-shops, at Englo- wood, at Wushington Ieights, Cornell, South Chicago, and other noighborlicods south of tho eit; mits, hiave rccunllfl boon made at pricos which Indicato that {u each of theso localitios thero Ia a good spoculative and investmont de- mmg'en the most important saleu by theacro, or fu lar, n’lrnol‘n. lmmllo with tho pust two weeks, owing 'fi:&u‘::.h :V.OI‘). l(u,r‘!oot & Oo. wold 80 ncroa In the # w 3 of Bootion 39, Town 88, Range 18 being on Seventy-fifth streot, at the iunct ou of Ceutre avenuo (3¢ milo west of Halatod streat), for Mr, George ‘Laylor, to Meusrs.

Tho present crop s cstimated by tho Agricultural Burenu at o fall- ing off of onc-fourth, and it ia probablo that evon thnt estimatod yield will be found toohigh, on account of the poor quality of tho! late-plant- ed.corn, which wag cut oft by oarly frosts before ‘it bad timo to mature. Btill thore is a good doal of old corn in first hands, and the saving onfthe feoding of hogs will probably result in a-much larger surplus than has been counted on. The distillers are taking the now corn frooly.
