12 THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE‘: SUNDAY, APRIL 5, 1874 REAL ESTATE. The Market of the Past Week, and Prospects of the Spring ‘Trade. Seasonable Activity in Rents \--A.verage Rates. Some of the Prominent Trans- fers of the Past Few Days. General Expectation of Increased Speculation. Ihe indications of the past week in the real- estate market poiné plainly to the lfcfi flffl‘ the buoyant fecling of the week provious is fully sustained. g 0 Thero are many sales of large amount pending: the action of Congress on tho Currency bill, which aro the legitimate fruils of this weck's 1sbor, but which will not be shown in th> trans- fers for some time to come. The fuct that tueso trades are not clozed substantiztes the opinion that customers and deslers’ are both waiting the effect of the inflation bill. 'There is every indication that an exceedingly active sea- son will be tho resalt, however, and ihero is pow ecarcely a firm but has some important trade in pegotiation, which only awaits the defi- pite action of Congress one way or the other. There 18 a large amount of capital in the hands of brokers in search of favorsble chances. One firm reports several letters from Germany dar- ing the week making inquiries with a view to lozning on business property, or toward pur- chase for improvement. A numbcr of loans havo also becn completed. p PROMINENT TBANSFERS. Among the most notable sales of the woek are the following : 1 By W. D. Eerfoot & Co.: Six acres; mnorth- west corner Twenty-socond and Jefferson strects, $60,000; threo acres, corner of Fulton and Yea- ger streots, £13,500. Dy . N.

Dy Suyder & Lee: 50 feet on the southwest corner of Michigan avenme and Twenty fifth strect, §20,000,—co0 bo impreved st oaco by the ercction of nine brick houses, three on Michigan avenuo and eix on Twenty-fifth streat. 3 Lucy E. Briggs is the purchaser fromR. C. Garmiibrant. This firm also report the sale of other property amountiog to $2¢0,000, bat as a sale is pending in adjucent property they desice the locstion withheld. ‘Warren, Keeney & Co. have made the follow- ing sales ' during the past woek of property st South Evanstou: To Mr. C. P. Luse, of Des Moines, lows, houao and lot. 100 feet front on Amold avenue, between Koen;g and River svenues and other property adjoining, for £62,000 ; also to Alr. C. C. Howell, of the same place, 1,200 fect front, located on Judson, Wheeler, and Chicago avenues, for £49,500, beinz at the some rate per front foot. Theee geutlemen will build fic~ residences the coming geason. Tho same firr: have gold to Mr. M. L. Jackson, of Dexter, Tows, & tract of land west of the ridgeat South Evanston, for $23,400. Afr. Jackeon intends to subdivide this property during the eummer. They have also sold to several parties fourteen 50-foot lots of the recent purchase of hir. B. F. Allen, at from $25 to 230 er front foot. The dweliings being puilt for im are going forward rapidly. A block of eight brick stores are now being built in this suburb. THE SCAMMON PROPEBTY. It is generally thought thst the sale of the property and improvements located on Wabash and Michigan avenues, between Van Buren and Congress streots, which was made at public vendue, under a mortgage of £220,000 held by the United States Mortgage Company, will not be verified; but that Mr. Scammon will be able to make arrungements for its redemption. The bid of §100,000 ut which it was struck off 18, of coarse, no indication of the real value of the property. THE NORTH SIDE. There hag been an uousually active inquiry for North Side residence property during the week; and, though there are fow sales reported, shere are many trades in prospect, The acces bility of this gection of the city renders it pecu- iarly sttractive at this period of the year, when o many are looking for homes. Dealers are :ong:lent of an active eeason from DOW on- FAr 4 3 The residence of Vernon avenuo, near THE CAFAL STREET BURNT DISTRICT promises to be built up in better shape than it ¥as before. The contracts have been let for the srection of eight brick stores during the past seck, and other owners of property in the viein- ity are prompted by this action to contemplate building. This tract, it will be remembered, is ‘ocated inside cf the fire limits. LENTS. Probably more activity exists in this branch of the real-cstato traffic than any other at the pres- st time. The offices of thoso who make a epo- sialty of renting storee, offices, and dwellings wo already crowded throngs of inguirers. Lhere are few conracts yet cloeed, but many are Bguring for Jeascs. The indications are ‘that sore-rents will ba considerably lower,—probably 15 per cent. The {fcilowing new stores have been leased luring the wesk by W. H. Ssmpson & Co.: Store and basement, 172 East Madison, to W. H. 3chimpferman & Co., for fancy groceries, at £4.000; tho whole Luilding, 174 Tast Madison, fo Kugeman & Co., fcr wholesals and retail pi ture-frames, ete.. 35,600 ; half of storc and base- ment, 176 East Madison, to Henry Freedman, who will oceupy it 88 & crockery-store, at $2,300. AVLRAGE RESIDENCE RENTS, A general ides of tho prices asked for resi dencea may be gained from the following in- stances : Two-story snd basement bricks on ‘Wabiash avente, near Harmon court, may be had 84 $850 to $1,000. Theso are in fair repair, but notnow houses. A three-story and basement orick on Michizan avenue, near Fourteenth, is offerod 8t 1,500, Sonth of this, on tho ave- nucs, are several other “similar dwellings at zbout the some rate. A good two-story and bascment doubla frame on Twenty-sccond street, near Indinna avene, is offered at $1,500. Nex west a frame liouse of ten rooms, brick base- ment, is held az £900. Cottago houses 1n tho vicinity, on good atroots, readily bring from $400 £0 $600 por annum. ouses in the vicinity of Douglas place, in first-rate location, being most- I¥ eow, bring nearly as good prices as those in ¢ centre of the city. A residenco on Ellia 2v- gotie, near Thirty-ifth strect, fourteen rooms; is bheld at 81,600, he marble-fronts on Lake ave~ nus, near Douglas place, are renting at 31,200, On the West Sido there is perlaps & shade of changein favor of topants. A iwo-story and basement brick, west of Union Park, on Madison. street, is offered 2t 3600. Cottages on Flournoy street, with £1x rooms, $400. On Washington etrcet and Aehland avenue, houses aro Leld at about the same reutal as thoso of tha samo clzes =n_1}l:lc23;uxlxl x;;ui Prairie avenues. 'be North Division offers a fa - maity 1o those wanting houses 1 4 o ERo fte. 2ad hore the houses oo all Bew, and Lave iko advantege of cleanlinesa in Heiimauerotdes themselves aud THE FIRST OF MAY. Tho mear approuch of the Ist of May inanga- rates tho usual nervous season for landlords and teuants,—those persons taking sides as bulls end bears in bargaining for their mext yoar's lease. The lzndlord, of course, hopes for a rise, thio tenant for a decline in price, and, a8 they approach each other for the consummation of the bargain, there is a good deal of strategy dis- played a8 to which shall vield the point. This 15 the usual state of the house-renting market at this period, and the present season is no exception to this general rule. Many of the houses that are now for rent in the hands of agents are putin at prices which feel the market,—that is to say, they are set purposly at bigher rates than owners might be willing to take, but not generally at higher rates than have prevailed ap to this time. Afeoling prevails among the renting claes that, in view of ihe times and the fact that wo now bave 23 many dwellings a9 ever, thero should be and will be & decline; and the agents Teport that customers are very firm in their do- mands for a concession. Prudent Jandlords who #ail close to the wind are closing at alight reduc- tions, but it is difficuit to tell what the result of the next fonr weeks will be in the case of dwell- ing-houses of 2 medium class, for which tho great demand exists. The finer residences will undonbtedly, be rented for somothing less than before, »s they are in excesa of tho demand, and customers are comparatively few. Cottages, of which Chicago has not enough, will 0t probab- Iy be let at any lower figure. Itiss misforlune to both landlord and tenant that a staied period of leasing should have come into general ueage. The same embarrassment 18 met each year under the 1st of May excitement. Both partics are induced to hold off ns long 8 possi- ble in the hops of sccuring the best of the bar- gain, and they are thus placed, in a moasure, in a false position toward each other. On the 1st of May dwellings will be offered for $800 that would bring 21,0600 per annum the day before; and more than ' likely, after romaining unton- snted during the summer, will be leased at the Tate of 2600 for the rest of the year. On tho other hand, the tenant grumbles through the whole year at buinfi bound to a leaso at 1,000, when 83 good a house could have beon rented ut $800, if he had waited till after tho st of May. This is the legitimate outgrowth of the plonof making all leases date from tho 1st of May. A morauniform and legitmate rentage would provail, if the plan were abandoved en- tirely, and the parties "allowed to fall fnto tho regular channels of supply and demand. OUTSIDE PROFERTY. An instance of tho relative advance of prop- erty sdjacent to the city may be seen in the following : Ten years ago, W. B. Pierce pur- chased tract of five ncros at Kenwood for £4,000. Last week he mada a salo of 300 feet of this land—which is s little more than o third of “the whole tract—for 46,000, an incresse on his investment of over 400 per cent a year. This is 0 extreme case, but thero are many others that approximate it, and, perhaps, there will be instances in tho futare even more startling. In suburban property, while it is yet t0o early in the scason to preaict as to the future, the dealers feel great confidence that the spring season will be & good one for them. Traders aro gotting ready their new subdivisions, snd Iaying their plans for village improvoments. The following instruments wore filod for rec- ord Saturday, April 4: CITT PROPERTY.

The following is the total amount of city and suburban property transferred curing tho week ending Saturday, April 4: City property. North of city South of city limits 5. West of city Limite.. 19,037 Total... 57,400 Satonpay Evexixa, April 4, 1674 'The onlychange to notice in the money market to-dsy is an 1ncreasing firmness in exchange. We heard of one Iarge parcel eold this morning Dbetween banks at par; but the general quotation for this day was 25 cents per $1,000 premium. Bankers supplied customers, a8 usual, at par. The demand for money with most of the banks is increasing. This makes them happy, for they havo had moro than they knew how to employ eafely and profitably for wecks past. Somehave ‘made loans as low a3 7 per cent, and a few to-dxy wonld be glad to get & quarter to half a million of first-class psper at § per cent. Usual rate, 10. Loan-brokers' rates, 8@10 per cent per an- num, Large, first-class, five-year loaus canbe placed at 8 per cent. It must always be under- stood that commissions—2}{@5 per cent—are to Dbe added to these figures. EXTENSIVE FORGERY. Tho Commercial National Bank received this morning, from 1ts corrceponding bank at St. Paul, & draft for 8,000, J)urpurling to have been'drawn by Ogden, Sheldon, & Co., of this city, on the Merchants' Savings, Loan, and Trust Company. The forger, in order to iden- tify, doubtless, the signature of tho draft, had in- dorsed it. A stamp of certification by the I, S., L. & T. Co. is on tho face, signed by Phelps, It'is mado payable to ** oxchanges” or bearer, and the whole is written in a bold, business hand, and it is in all respéets *“ well calculated to de- cieve.” l’mh:l.bhv the same individual, or an ac- complice, paseed a draft for $3,600, purportin to have been drawn by J. W. F. Coolbaugh & Co., on, if we mistako not, the Merchants’ Na- tional Bank of Si. Paul. Evidently somebody in that city is getting hurt. i GOVERNMEST BONDS LOST. Tho last statement of the particulars of the public debt of the United States contains many curious facts. Of the old debi that matored previous to Jan. 1, 1837, $57,665 has never been called for. Of the 6 per cent 5-20a that matured Dec. 1, 1871, and at subsequent dates, $5,390,400 are due, and the money is uncalled for. lolders of these bonds will doubtless call for their cash in duo time, but very largo sums fell due from four to ten years ago, and still remamn unpaid. The total amount on which in- terest ia stopped. and which the Treasurer is ready to pay on demand, 18 36,852,500, In every Inrgo fire, stcambout and other didaster, more or Iess of the bonds of the Governmeni, green- ‘backe, and bank-bills are lost, smounting in tho 2ggTegate, in a very fow years, as these figures how, to & very large sum, CHICAGO CLEARING-HOTSE.

A great many membera hopo that tho lstter part of tho resolution may prove to be something more than mere paper Weight, I The Fulton Elovator commenced work this morning, taking in two boat loads of corn as her first ezeay. Alr. Reynolds, familiarly known as ““Diamond Jo," reports that tho grads of **Northwest- ern” wheat has given so much satisfaction in Europe_that holders can now obtain more for it in the British markets than for Milwaukeo wheat of the same number, Tho natural conecquence of this will be sn increased demand forit this senson; and it is probablo that an additional in- gpector will be placed on duty to aticnd specially to this grade of wheat in Clicago. There were no Europesn ndvices_to-day of consoquence. In Loglish commercial circles the Easter holidays last from Thuraday evening till Monday morning ; snd tho only indicatians of cbango during that time cre bused upon the relations of supply to the retail demand. THZ MARKETS. “The leading produce markets were moderately active to-dny, but less regular. Provisions were higher, and breadstufls **ofl in color,” with less of certainty in the comploxion of ail tho dezly then is usaal, thongh there were no severe flac- toations. The supply movement continacs fair in grain, and has been very large in pork during the past week ; but the raceipts of grain are on the increage, aud the feeling would hnve been muoch weaker but for tho understanding that Inke freights could be taken on very low terms, Jobbers of dry goods reported the market fairly active and firm. The late genaral reduc- tion in prices has had the effect to greatly stimu- late the demand, and there is no longer any ap- pearance of weakness. Tho extrame low prices now prevailing are likely to develop a speca- lative movemeut in standard cotton textiles, and that higher rates will bo establighed a litile in the eeason isentirely probable. Standard bleach- ed end brown cottons are selling 21$@3k4c per yard lower than at this time last vear, while denims, cottonades, and ticks are 4@5c lower. Prints which last yesr wero eclling at 113go are mow jobbing at 9icc. The grocery trado was moderately active, with but slight change in valaes. Suga:s were off an e, with which exception yesterday’s quotations “ore gencrally well sustained. Rice, sirups, molasses, and tess were firmer, the tendency in the Iatter being upward. Coffecs were being distribated s lLittle more freely, and were com- paratively steady. Spices are quiet and easy. In tho dried fruit matket there was fair activity, notwithstanding the fact that orders wore most- Iy for moderate amounts. With the exception of raising, in which & reduction of Sc is noted, former quotations wore unchanged. Fih wero in light demsnd, and prices were only indiffer- ently suetaiced. Light stocks alome prevent a decline. In the canbed-guods market trade was alack, with somo lined selling lowor, No changos 3 69,000 63831 wers noted in_the coal, wood, pig-iron, loxchu:"i and paint markets. Oils were in good doman and wero firmly held sll around ; carbon at 15¢ 3 linsced at - $1.00@1.08 ; extra lard, at 84@8c, and turpentine at 55@36¢. The demand for lumber at the yards continues activo at about the same rango of prices. Tho roceipts by lako were fair this morning, and there w28 al30 moro inquiry for cargo lumber thon on yesterdsy, Pieco stuff sold early at $10.50 to yard dealers. The interior demand for hardware and nails continues active. Pig tin is rather weak, but other articles are steady inprice. Iron waa meeting with a fair order demand at the cor- rent rates. Building materials were unchanged. The hop market is still dull, aod lower prices have been accepted by some parties who were anxious to realize. Wool was quiet, also broom corn.

Pouitry was in light suuply and firm. Choico drassod tarkeys wero selling at higher prices to the retail trade. Eggs were lower. Lake freights were in somo demand, and prob- ably steady at formor rates, though tlhe prices of freight room by water werc not reported yes- terday. Wheat to Buffalo was takon at 6c, and oats to do at 4c per bu, both by sail. This is equivalent to 53¢ for corn to Buffalo, and about 11e for wheat to Kingston. Three charters were reported, which will carry out about 30,000 bu each o#wheat, corn, and oats. . Highwines were quict and uuchanged, with eales of 200 brls at 93¢ per gallon. New York was quoted at 97c st 1 o'clack, and our market closed nommally easier in couscquence at 92}¢ @%e. Drovisions were again active and higher, the remark applying chiely to mess pork, which advanced 40@50c per brl uuder a rather sharp demand, being freely taken by one or two strong parties, then foll off 10c, sdvanced 15c, and re- ceded 10c by’ the close. Lard was relatively quiet, and advanced 21¢@5c_per 100 1vs, while meats were firm and &, sbade higher, but with not much demand, the interest of the trade being centared in the pork deal. It is reported that inquiries formeats cut now are not filled, because tho rocent pork excitement Las sot tho-packers to manafacturing that article exclusively. The summaer pork i3 not deliverable on contracts, but it rayu to sell it for couaumgu’on at 75¢ per el below the price of regular, and the consumptive demand for the latter is correspondingly reduced, leaving it to be simply speculated upon. Abous 11,000 brls of pork ave beon shipped ont during the past week—sorae 83y to fill shorts in New Yuri. This fact, with a steady demand here from the parties who hold mostof our Eork, caused some to fomt that the market 18 being cornered, and the dhorts rushed in to fill; but, 28 eoon a8 they fomad that they could buy in, they foll back, in hopes of o big tumble, an this accounted for the irregular move- ment of quotations.

Thero were no udvices from Liverpool, but our recaipts were moderately large, giving an in- crease in the volume of offerings; and the re- ceipts at New York were wlso sufficiont to pro- duce s weakening there, which reacted on Chicago. The troubles on the Erie Railroad have locked up the cornin transit over that line, and made New York strong on account of relative scarcity; but that corn is now beginning to move. The news caused an especial weakaa- ingin April corn hers, owingto very hiberl offerings, the May premium widening to fully 3l¢c, whereas it was barely 3¢ yesterday. Thero is not, however, much apprehension of very large Teceipts for a week or more yet.

Under the almost unprecedentedly large supply thrown upon 2fonday’s markot, thero was o prelty general softening of prices, but whatever decline tliere may have been 1at the begiuning of the weck haa since been recovercd, 1and at tho closo the market occupies a firm position, *When it is remembered that this, tho last weekin ‘Leat, is usually the dullest week’ of all the year iu meats of all kinds, the degreo of strength that our imarket has developed {s, to say tho least, surprising. \A large number of Eastern buyers were eact diy i {attendance, nnd all offerings suited to their wants ave readily been disposed -of at £5.00@5.25 for fat, pong-built steers averaging from 1,050 to 1,100 Le, . at $3.25,@5.50 for medium to good rough- lots aversging 1,180 to 1,300 1 at L $5.00@6.123¢. Butchers’ stuil was dull early in the “weck, but, toward the close, decided improvement “was noticeable, and for especially desirable lots some {mprovement in prices was witnessed. Stock cuttie continue in fair rcquest at well-sustained prices. Light scrawny lota sold 28 low 83 $3.25@4.50, but tho prevailing rales were $3.75@4.25 for common to me- dium, and at $4.50( 4.75 for good to prime. In excep- tional cases higler figires were paid, but £4.75 may be considered a fair outside quotation. ' Calves are com- ing forward a Jittle more plentifuliy, but prices keep i woll up and may be considered finnat $,25@4.50 for { poor to medfum, and at $5.0086.00 for good to prime, . Among tho week's reccipts were somo fine droves of corn-Ted Texus steers, for which $5.25@5.80 was real- ized,—tho latter price being obtained in only a single i Ordinary lots eold at $3.50@4.50, and good $4.75(35.00. 25.00. Thore w3s fair activity to-day In tho local and out- wide demands, and the different descriptions of stock mere readily” salsble at previous pricer. A few xtadred cattle of low dexree remained unsold at the “doee, but all desirable offcrings were taken.
