The event of the weck in real estate, 28 in niirosd snd other bueiness circles, has been the completion of the negotiations of the Baltimore +Obio Railroad for the right of way into this . 1t bas been known for a long time that {hat corporation had decided to extend its lino weetward to Chicago, and make this city tho terminal and transfor point uZ its Western Di- rigion. With 8 due regard for the interests of the zoad, its managers kept the exact route and the otber particnlars of their plans to them- gelves. Like Commodore -Vanderbilt, they told sobody what they were going to_do until they sd done it. Thewr purchase of the right of s, 80d Of the land needed for their ahopfi —sbovn in our map above,—were conducter with 2 succeesful secrecy, and the anmounce- ment this morning will be nows to all our readers who have not been fortunate enough to belong to the few whose property the railroad bas bought. THE MAP. I the Jisgram nbove we present our readers vithan accarato map of the route over which the road will approsch the city. The map takes imthe district bounded by Lake Michigan, the Cilumet, River, the mouth line of South Bark, ad the Grand Crossing. The road, following its course along tho lake, which it first touches 3t Pine Station, crosses the Calumet River, 38 indicated, parsllel with the Michigan Southern. Iis way through South Chicago is on Railroad svenus, and after leaving thet town it curves to the left, and makes forthe Illinois Central track, which it taps north of Parkside station. Thence to the city ita course is over the Illinois Central. ' The Iarge pamllelogram of land lying on the l nght of the track, on each side of the northern oundary of South Chicago, is to be the eite of . the yards and shops described bolow. The new division of the Baltimore & Ohio Bailrond, CALLED THE CHICAGO_DIVISION, will be 269 miles in length. Its constrnction is partof & far-sighted policy which has for its §im noshing less magnificent than the control of tbe Western grain trade, a prize for which - Bos- fon is competing with its Hoosao tunuel, Phila- ! delphia with ber vannted American line of iron s{eamships, and for which Now York alone is not compenng. That city is now in eleepy posses- siop of this great trade, apparently undisturbed in.the confidence that what Das been hers slweys will be, and that 6he need provide nona of the storage or trausfer accommodations that tbe volume and rapid movement of modorn trade demand. In New York the old-fashioned barges wnd drays that made the fortunes of the last gen- eration of her merchant princes, are still in use; the elevators and utom—hnflmu that l\;téry aa’tar- prising Western city supplies in proportion to its Eefidl,glu not to be {mugd. The great metropo- Bsbasno elevetors, no decent docks, no sdo- quste tranafer sccommodations. < hnBy the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad the dis- o FROM CHICAGO TO THE SEABOARD is 790 miles; by the Pennsylvania Central to New York it is 930; and by the New York Cen- tral it is 45 miles. This route for through traf- fio claims otber advantsges than saving in distance. By the 1st of July the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad OamYuny will bave in operation in Baltimore an elevator with s capacity of 1,500,000 bushels. This, in addition to the ele- Yator already in operation thers, will give Balti- mors greater {acilies for tho storage and shipment of grain than any other seaport on the Atlantic coast. To accommodae the new com- merce, the harbor has been despened to twenty- six feet up to the elevator, giving access to the largost steamers. There hss been s great in- croass in the foreign business of Baltimore in the last two yeas, a8 is shown by tho records of shipments for that time. 'he policy of B CHEAP FREIGUTS, - which is promised by the Company, will give & great impetus to the business both of Chicago aud Baltimore, the terminal points of the road. The appesent delay in supplying the_iron snd plaot " (cars and other equipmest) for the rosd hasbeen & piece of economy which has ssvedths Company, owing to the decline in labor and materials, o less than £4,000 & mile onthe criginal estimates. The Company has paid cash for everything it has used in the con- #truction of the line, and has toereby added an- other cheapness which will be shared by the truffio it carries. Ths Chicago connection of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was first formed in 1870. In four years its business with Chicago Las grown from A2 sverege of three cars a day T0 OVER 200 CARS A DAY Mniam past winter. This amount could bavs baen largely increased had the connections of the road given adequate facilitres, At present this traffic with Chicago is done on throe roads : the Pan-Handle routs from Columbus; the a0 Bouthern from AMonroevills, in Obio; ::f the Kankakes Line from Cincinnati. Under o circumstances, anything like = satisfactory %m!uuoy of the business was impossible. Diflurent lines, with different dopots, different msablos snd differont arrangements gonerally, ks it up hopelessly. Now that the con- gmum of rival Companies will no longer have be consulted firat, there will be & very differ- * entstate of affairs, CEICAGO 1§ THE WESTERN TERMINUS of the road. - Business still further west will be e by connections.

The railroad makes all the land it traverses ‘more secessible to the city, and more valuable. Twh bandsome suburban derots are to be erect- ed at points between South Chicagoand Parkside station. These facilities will attract & proportion of the eteady stream of our citizens thatere every year seeking suburban homes. How laigo this movement is to bo, depends upon circum- stances. If property is made the foot-ball of speculators, and toseed up from oue price to auother, out of sight, the speculators will have it all to themselves, and must pay each other the profite they are secking. 1f pold for im- provement at moderato prices, and held for the actual growth of population, there is no reason why it ehould not become as thickly peopled, and as valuable, a8 any line of suburbs on the otler railroads appronching the city. The shops of ths Company at South Chicago will employ s lario number of men, who must seek homes in tho immediate vicinity.

Real estato in San Francisco has not been * more active this year than ia New York or Chi- cago. Sales have been slow and taxes very heavy. Some of the operators spread their eails thres months ago for a real estato inflation, but have fcand they could not raise the wind. Slow and sure advances are to be the rule there a8 elsewhers. A local real estate journal has the following views on real estate as an invest- S T ow take a despondent view Ay P B ematss e fa3-rate fhis year m ke S Btly cents more on each one huD of easeased value thsn It was last yesr. This, to large jroperty-owners, will be a considerabie advance, but 10 umall buyers—and there are now fifty small buyers for ench large one—the diiference will amount to only $4 (0312 per year, Tho savings banks pay ench low Tates of intorest that a large number of depositors would now give real estato fuyestments the preference, even if the outlook were less bright; while, 2s to larga holders, tuey must grin an it whother they liks it ornot. 1f thoy take thelr money out of Teal estate, they will 20on discover that it {3 nest to impoarible to find snything likcas safe and profitable 3 field for it, money being a perfect drug in San Fran- Clscoat preseut. High taxea are most undesiruble, and would not now b2 neccesary but for jobbery and notorious mismanagement, It is fortunate, howevar, thiat we never were in baiter condition to meet them then at present. Real estate ia rising, ond the city and Stote were never in such a prosperous condition Defore, all things cousidered. The real estate money market is in much the same condition as that of Chicago. The same authority says: ‘*The difficulty now is not to borrow money but to find borrowers, Nearly all the savings banks havo an unsusually large sap- ply of money on Land. They are now finding it very difficalt to place their funds eatisfactorily, money is in such superabundant supply. Rates of intercst tend downward. Large loans can be made at 8 per cept.” IN NEW YORK. In New Yorlk, tho dullness that has been the feature of the real eatale market, all spriug, has not disappeared. Public sales aro almost wholly forced in one way or snother, sad the private dealings are very restricted. Tha postponement for another year of the settloment of the rapid transit question, the collapso in building enter- prise, tho steady increase of population, all tend to the benefit of suburban, which exhibits all tnere is to ehow of actlvity about New York. The Now York Ferald anticipates an active fall business in city realty : Iu the first place the adjournment of Congress, promised on the 224 of June, will leave ample time for the recovery of a better tone in general Lusiness, Capitalists will begin to take heart again, and, instead of Xeeping thelr money locked upin bank vaults to loan at 3 and 4 per cent on call, they will seck invest- ments promising larger profits. Real estate justat tlis time will oommond fteell 0 them as the rafest of sll forms of investment. Its history during the rocent panic proves this, there ot being one single instanco of the many compelled to suspend psyment during that eventful period being obiliged to do so through unprofitable investment in real estate. Yet all_other forms of security, with rare exceptions, suffered sorting at the hands of lenders when offered aa collateral, and many parties of ample wealth found hemselves eariously omburrassed when seeking ac- commodation through this severs scrutinyto which their previous fuvestments were subjected. It may e a long time before a now scason of speculative ex— citemens such as found its corrective in the late panic will come upon the country, but we may safely an- ticipato with the sdjournment of Congress and the shelving of experimentsl financial legislation a re- vival cr interest in all the legitimate channels of trade, not the least result of which will be exhititsd in this market. SRS CORRESPONDENCE. ‘WADABII AVENUE STREET-RAILWAY. To the Editor of Ths Chicago Tribune : Sm: A street-railway on Wabash avenue from Lake streot to Tisenty-second street is, perhaps, = more important question than a cursory view of the subject would seem to indicate. At all events it shonld not be decide daftirmatively with- out proper investigation and due consideration. 1t must be remembered that Wabash avenue is 100 feet wide between the points named, and is, to all intents and purposes, the Broadway of the city—the grand link connecting the large and constantly-increasing populous district scuth of Twenty-eecond etreet with the business cen tre of Chicago and the West and North Divi- sions: ibat it is constantly ~sought acd monopolized by vehiclos of every character and description, public and private, engaged in traflic and_travel, pleasure and busine:s, from every Enxhou of tho city, and is destined ero long to ecome thus occupied aud ased, and crowded to its utmost capscity. It has thus grown to & great public highway, not only on accoutt of ita capaciousness and eligiblo situation, but from fhe stern necessity of the case. Btate and Clark strects—main thoroughfares—have been taken for street-railways, which have protty much monopolized them, at loast g0 83 to_compel trafiio and travel to concentrate on Wabash avenue in order to escape the annoyance, inter- forence, collisions, etc., of street-railroad tracks and oars for all tume to come, a8 has been fond- Iy anticipated. But now it seems efforts are making to change this sdmirablo arrangement. Wabash avenue must also be taken for street-railways, according to the notion of certain property-owners there- on, who seom to think that this ionovation and intj\uion !houlddiu left solely to their caprices and whisa,-nat dreamil £hi ko a1l oTher yonties sy aming that thia avonne, Do thoroughfares under public ownership, super- vision, and custody, represented by the 'legisla- tive authority of the city, centered in the Com- mon Council thereof. ‘These gentlemen, or po- titionors, certainly know, or ought to know, that their lsnd frontages on Wa- bash svenue do mot enptitle them to any more or superior rights, privileges, or immaunities o, in, or to this roadway than other citizons whose lots and residences are sit- uated elsewhere within the city limita. And they certainly know, or ought to observe, that thers are & thousand other citizens to one of them- selves who use this avenue for pleasure, trafiic, and travel, and resort thereto’ because the road is broad, free from cars and tracks, and is about the only highway running north and south now lett for their convenience and accommodation. The public, therefore, have rights and interests in the determination of this guestion, which cannot be ignored orsubordinated. Wabash av- enue, between Lake and Twenty-second streots, is 23/ miles long and 100 feet wide. Forty feet of this wealth are occupied by the sidewalks, leav- ing 60 foot roadway. The proposed railway— double-track—will consumo some 20 feet; the strip adjacent to the sidewalks for standing ve- hicles and horees will consume at least 15 feet moro, thus contracting the roadway to 25 fect for clear eailing. Punca tho conclusion 18 inev- jtablo that thequestion of constructing a double- track railway on this magnificent thoroughfars involves the destruction,of it for the uses and purposes for which it ig now taken, and to which it is becoming so thoroughly devoted that it is destined st no distsnt period to be crowded to its ' utmost capacity. The strect-railroads having driven this immense travel and traffic to this capacious avenue on ac- count of their monopoly of o other main ar- teries, now gravely proposo to the good people of Chicago to soize its only and last foothold ; and that, too, withont a particle of necessity, 8s Btato and Clark stroets afford them ample room and accommodations for the present and all fu- tare time. ] But what are the reasons assigned for this propoted movement? - It is said that 12,000 feet ©f 120d abutting on the avenue have beon ropre- sented by & petition wigned by own- ers, proxies, snd others, and presented to the Sommon Council, ssking an _ordinance for this purpose. As before remarked, these gentlemen’s voices should resch no further nor Bavo any more welght than that of other citi- zens in the determination of s matter of the gravest importance to the whole city. These gentlemen imegino that, if somo twenty foob of this street were taken for a railway, their lots would be sooner needed for business houses. Honw this will help buginess on Wabash avenus any more than the Btate street cars ono square weat help it now, is one of those peculiar mys- fories which is hard to understand, especiaily when it is considered that the Stace straet tracks, owing to their connections, continue to bave: superior facllities in this respect over tracks rupning from Lake to Twenty-second gtroot on the avenue. It is nothing to slight from a Btate sireet car and walk one square east to transact business on Wabash avenue. Hence the Istter has already all the advantages laimed from this source froma parallel, con- tiguous, and tributary street. Within & stooe’s throw those petitioners have the very grant shey want, without confiscating any of ~the tre- mendous benefts scoruing to thoir property from the immense transit and traveling business constantly increasing on this avenus in conso~ quence of the absence of the very thing they goem 8o anxions to place permanently thereon. The truth is, and might as well bejproclaim ‘Wabash avenue south of Harmeon street wi not bo needed for business houses for many years hence, and north of this point the ipitia~ Tion, establishment, and maiotenance of per- manent and flanrishlnF business quarters must necessarily move slowly but surely. This growth, all the and cars removed from State stroet thereto would in no wise hasten. Is bueiness on Btate street south of Adams benefited by the railroad thereon ? Is Madison street thus benefitted weat of the river, or Clark north of the river? Were not all our businesd streets ‘made such from the necessityof the case arising out of their jar location and wants of populons vicini- ties. Therae is & district whose business is greatly benefited from the streat-railways nan\'ergl:fi thereto and diverging therefrom to and from arts of the city, bounded by the lake, river, and dams street. Bat how much of the present traffic and travel now concentrated on Wabash avepue would be driven therefrom in conse- quenco of this proposed innovation and intrusion {pon 8 thoroughfara scarcely now commodious enough to accommodate it -convenicntly and gafely, leaving out of the calculation future wants and pressure from this source? And where will it go? State and Clark streets, leading and centrsl thoroughfares, have been contiscated and monopolized by the railwa seeking now the wides: and best of all the high- ways of the city. Bemember that there are only four streets conpeoting the business centre of Chicago with Twenty-second street and the populous and growing districts to the southward, and the proposition” mow is to consign o thi atrest to the rulroads whose present and fature wants stand amply and_forover provided for al- ready on two of these four prominent rosdways, Whera is the neceesity, sonse, or propriety of multiplying routes for the same puipose, ‘especially when the material for the latter can- not pousibly be spared, end is imited 1n quantity geographically and _fopographically and per- ctually ? Undoubtedly, as herctofore remarked, Yabash avenne is destined to be built up ulti- mately and solidly to Twenty-second street with mercantile editfices for wholesaling north of Adams and retailing south of 1t. In this regard its certain growth and prosperity in the course of time is assured in view of its contral position and capacity. Let this magnificent Broadway and bighway of Chicago, 60 much admired by visitors and strangers, remain consecrated toits present use. G. W. Mirrza. Citxcaco, May 30, 1874, FINANCIAL.

The real estate loan agents continned busi- ness as usual. They roport a alight decrease in the number of applications for loans. Their character is mainly inferior, alarge part being to replace fmminent debts by others with a day of sottlement more remoto. Those for improve- ments are generally small in smount, The rate is as before, 9 per cent for large, and 10 per cent for small amouats. DEFAULTING RAILWAY BONDS.

The demurrage charged per day for each car containing grain on track is $5,00, not 83,00, a8 the types gave it this morning. The day set apart for decorating the graves of the soldiers who died in the War for the suppres- sion of the Rebollion, was observed by the Board of Trado formally, and by many of our whole- sale dealers, after 1 o'clock. There %asno “on 'Changs," though the figures representing tho produce movement were got up a3 usual for the information of the trade, There was a rather light gathering in the cor- ridors of the Chamber of Commerce, the more Tesponsible mombers of ths Board of Trads holding entirely sloof, thongh & few of them ‘came down to 100k on, and by that means helped to awell the crowd. _ Of course it was understood that the Board would not enforce contracts made on & declared holiday, and the business in_grain consistod chiefly of puts and calls. We chroni- cle the fluctuations in prices, but with the re- mark that these quotations are irregular, and ought not to be accepted as & market_otherwise then to such of the parties concerned as choose to liveup to their bargains. Beveral commis- sion men stated tbat they would not operate for others, if requested to do eo, as there was no guarantee that sgreements would be carried out. The most notable feature of the day was the sotivity of the shipping movement. The party who traded to such a large extent in corn on Fri- dsy evening was anxious to forward a8 oon as possible, and took sbout all the freight room that was offered. He had about 225,000 bu com- ing to him for June, which he offered to take to-day st the same price, His terms were ac- cepted and the vessels sent round to the elo-" vetors to be loaded, o that tho bulletin of Aonday will probably note an active forward movement in corn. In the dry-goods market the changes were few aud unimportant. An sctive movement in staple cotton productions and seasonable drees goods is witnessed, and the general market displays & firm tone. Prints are atill eomewbat unsettled, owing to the action of the -%anu of » few well- gnown brands in reducing tho price to 8}c. Groceries met with & very good inquiry from the country trade at prices mnot egsential- ly differest from those current on the Preceding two. or thres days. Bugars, Tice, sirups, teas, B0aps, and starch recsiv the most attention, though most other linea wero deslt in to s fair extent. Coffees continue dail, but are held with more confidence. The butter market wes grestly depressed. The sxtreme beat of the past few days haa caused s marked diminution in the demand, and, anxious to pro- ent, if poseiblo, & farther sagment of stocks, Joceivers show s disposition to meet the views of buyers, and we nota & fursher reduo- tion of 1@2 all aronnd. Cheese is com- ing forward pretéy freely, and is declining. Dried fruits continue in good request st strong Tates. Domestic varietios are scarce, and most foreign descriptions are also in-scan: supply. ‘Anzadvance of 1c iu pitted cherrios was the only change noted to-day. There is & lflgg demand from the country for fish, and dealers are bothered to ki up with their orders. The general tone of the market i3 one of firmness, & litefish alone showing weakness. No. 1 are now quoted at $6.25@6,40, and No. 2 at 36.15@ 6.25. Leather, bagging, coal, wood, pig-i and tobaeco waro. Nithout price changhs: ONs were roported in_fair demand at abont steady rates. In round lots carbon was offering st 13%4c, but in a small way at 14@14}4c. umber was quiet and nachanged. A fawcar- goes were sold at the wholeealo market in the morning, but thera were only a few local buyers Tesent, and their wants wero £oon matisfled. otals, iron, and nails, were in moderate de- mand st the prices proviously quoted. Hiy was iipu and weak, under comparatively iberal offerings, and only a light domand. Hides were dull #nd declining. There were no changes in the hop, broom-corn, or wool mar- kets.” The demand forany of these staples is limited, and, in the cass of ‘wool, not enongh of tho new clip has yet acrived to attract buyers and establish a market. Seeds were quiet nnd potatoca dull at Friday's range of prices. Lem- ons advanced to 812.00@13.00 per box, and were very firm. Strawberries were in liberal supply, sad prices woro s, a:l::xe ensior_towards the o day. Poi in I cloas ot thoidsy. 5 was in liberal supply Highwines wero inactive, stronger at 8436@S5c per gallon.

Roptemsbor, o T e S = FLOATING ELEVATO & FOR BOSTON. The Bogton Journal saya: * A letter Jjas boen rocerved from & prominent shipper of Montreal, who baa sent largo quantitics of whest- to Bos- ton, in which the writer declares that unless the | terminal charges are reduced at this point it will be imposaible to send further consignments this way. Toshow the justice of this conclusion, & fow figures will be sufficieut. Grain from Aon- troal reaches Boston over the Lowell Railroad, and the cars containg the lednca are_switched off upon_tbo Junction ilway at Eaat Cam- bridge. Now, to move this car from the point whero it is loft by the Lowell Company to the wharf at East Boston costs $5, with ao additional oharge at the elovator of $6.13, making the total cost delivered on board ship $11.12. In the case of flour, tho cost of moving a car is $5, unload— ing $2, and wharfage $2,—total 39. Nearly all of this dxira expense could e saved if a tloat- ing elevator were at hand with barges to receive the grain from tk3 Lowell Road and take it along- side the vessel, This has been the cause of one Emlt diticulty in loading steamers like the ord Clive, because after discharging her in- ward cargo it required soms 500 tons of ballast of heavy freight to be placed in her hold before she could be safely moved from her dock to the elovator.” b LUMBER-FOREST FIRES. The Lumberman's Gazelle 8ays : The recent fires in Michizan Torests have done no small smount of damage to pine timber lands. The exact extent is not easily ascertain- able, but reports indicate that £2,000,000 will not gmblbly cover the entire amomat. Tho fires have been scattered all over the State, but the greater damage has been done along the esst and west shores. The rains have been suf- ficient to render further damage this spriug not to be expected. et g CHICAGO LIVE-STOCK MABEET. CHICAGO. Batuapar EvENING, May 30.
