The Proposed Wabash Avcnue Railroad. The Baltimore & Obio Railrond and the South Shore Park. There have been fewer noteworthy transso- tions in real estato during the past week than during either of the two previcus ones. Conse- quentiy thers g less that usnal 21y about par- ticular tranesctiona. We notice, however, that thero i full 5a much activity 1n tho salo of choap lots in the suburbs, and that improvementa an { projects for improvements in varions quarters of the city are increasing 28 spring approaches, Tho greater partion of thess projected improve- ments aro in the outskirts of tho buflt-up por- tion of the clty. The activity 8o motable :n buildg in the business-quarter in tho past two years will be almost entirely wanting this yoar. Thers are evidently enough, and more than enough, stores. The long line of unoccupiedones on Wabash avenue, south of Monroo strest, and the disposition of wholesale merchants to move eastward from their temporary locations on Franklin and Markes streots to the old centrea of trade on Lake and Randolph streets, about the junctions of Wabash and Michigan avenues, ‘make an unfavorable ontlook for a largs amouat of property in thoss localities which has been improved with epacions stores at great expense. There if also & largo ares of “‘intermediate™ residence property, improved with subatantial bnildings, a little o}, but in good repair, which i8 t0o near to business to bo considored desir- able, and is available for nothing but boarding- honsos. Tho owners of both the above-mentioned classes of proper:y manifest a disposi- tion to sell ent or irade for suburban landa. Many picces or this description of prop- erty, which seven or eight sears ago wero con- sidered amoug the most valuable residence prop- erty in the city, could bo bemght to-day for sbont the amount of tho mortgegea, This, bow- ever, is due to the oxpansion of the city, and tho disposition of every man who builds a new houzo to follow the lead of fushion and go further out, where all the houzes are of the new styles,—for in this fast 2ge the fashion of both ths exterior and iaterior of residences is almost as fickls as the fashion of ladies’ bonnets. Tho eecret of the prefersuce for outside prop- ertyis tint tazes are hizh nod rem:s low for the class of joside property in gaestion, and {here is no prospect that it will increase in value for somo years, while in the subuths the espansion of tho city is increasing the value of groun a from veer to year. We bear of a groat number of 32158 of, cheap property for sums uzder 45,000 each, bu, ag mentioned sbove, the numbar of largs tranzac- tiony is few.

Tho passage of the Lincoln Park Asscssment bill by the Lufl:fiume will_provably settio & question which besn a bune uf contention for the lust year or two _between two_parties of properts-owners 1 Lako View. Those -who Were of posed to an aesessment to buy and im- prove the trisngular piece of gronndat the northwest corner of the patk, to eulargo it, ware greatly intorested in the completion of tha Lake Bliore Drive. Bat this encerprise bas not beea pushed with any dogreo of cnergy, ec.nse the rime movers in it coud get Do egal authonty for an assessmont om she property bepefited, aad therefore could not raise the pecessary fuuds. Tho new Lincoln Park law will, however, puc it in the ower of the Lincoln I'ark Commissiouers to Favy the neccssary tax for the improvement of the Lako Shore Drive, as well as for the par- chase and improvement of the triangular strip of ground at the northeast coruer of the Park. This power, however, 18 contingent upon the con- senc of the Assessor and tho Buaporvieor of the Board of Town Trustees, and as the Board of ‘I'rustees aro understood ta be in favor of com- ploting tho Lake Store Drive io good stylo, if a specisl assessment can b legally levied for that purpose, it is surmused that the Lincoln Pux Commissioners may fake tho Lake Shote Drive uuder their control, and farnish the neceseary legal machinery for 1giz- ing the money. If this compromise should be effected ic would give an impetus to improve- meata in that quarier of the ity this spring.
