An important change s again noticeable in tho real estate market iwrthe last ten days in tho rovival of tho domand for cheap residenco lots ot prices ranging from 2500 to $1,500 each. Throe weeks ago, wo noticed the fact that tho demand for this class of property tind almoes ceased in comsequence of the depression of the manufacturing business, and the prospect that workmon, in- stead of having money to invest in homes, would bo obliged to eat up in idlences, this winter, n large part of their previous gavings. The ro- newel of tho inquiry for cheap lots, howaver, showa that moro confldonce in the businoss prospects of the future provaily, and that, as the apring activity of trade and manufuoturing is renowed, a corresponding increnfo in males of roal estate will bo oxporienced, In fact, thoro hos been o largo incromso alroady In tho snlcs of cheap lots, and in the oflices of the most prominent dealers in subur- bau Jands and lots thore wore more inquirera yeatorday than wo havo scen in tho sumo ofticos for threo or four months, ‘Tho inquiry for suburban acres has also incressed in proportion, Capitalists_in all parts of the country bogin to Bnd, as waa predioted & month or two ago, that tio usual avenues for the iuvestment of surplus supital in the first quartor of the year have been much diminished by sho olimination of tho spoculgtivo railroad projects, and tho oxpulsion trom the money murket of a vast amount of railrood bouds. 'T'his, togothor with tho still prevailing lnck of confdenco in tho Lonesty of the manugument of oyon the majority of the old railronds, lonves eity ronl catato as almost tho only investmont _that will atiract cousorvative capital this spring, BALE O TIIE IOUGH ELEVATOR, Thig valuable picco of buinoss property, com- prising about four and & half geres of gronnd on thie south side of tho South Branoh of Ohicago Tiiver, just west of Hulsted stroct, togother with the elevator buildiug und othor improvements thereon, haa been gold by Messrs, I AL & O.
