Some Suggestions of Commis- sioner Gage. Buildings---Transfers. ‘There is still no eal sctivity in the resl‘estate merket. Some of our leading houses repozt con- gidorable inquiry during the past wedk from responsible parties, who, dealers think, mean | business, but as yet traneactions are mainly [ 2 limited to a fow sales to parties of small re- | supplicd by four or five miles of pipe running through | G: 2 . oo park und boulerards. Jiut thia is Rot what I want to talk about, sources for improvement and occupation. There s no demand from capitalists for investment. We hear of some making inquiries, and dealers have cxpectations, not ery great,” it is true, [ that trades may in duo time be effectod. At tracted by the cheap rentals, tho city 18 con- etantly gaining valuable citizens, and we hear of several looking out for eligible reeidences and places of business, but tho number is not suffi- of ol & marked feature in regard to Chicago real es- | ¥ tato is the confidence of bolders in its presont aud prospective value. Doubtless many are willing, not %o ssy anxious, o sell; but they are unwilling to meke any considerable concession in prices, for they know if they can only hold on ‘10 their property, it will bo sure, in the end. to | § rew dnys, expressed an earnest wish to assist in any reali m any prico they can | f g :reslize handsome profits on auy P 7. manner to carry forward the improvement, and, in Viow of the largo demands of somo of the' owRers, suggests that the Conunissioners commenco condem: nation proceedings at oncw sgainst all the owners, That in easier sai are required against esch owner, with Commissioners, Jawyers, witnesses for each case, with an appeal froni Commissioners to the Circuit 'Court, and from the Circuit Court o the Supreme Court.

Hence the very few sales wo havo to motice from woek to weck. Though there is still no activity tho market is percepti- bly firmer thaa it was two months sgo. THE PARES. Chicago has alresdy abundant reason to bo proud of her parks—more 8o, in fact, than any other improvements made within the last five vears. They aro sure to be oot only & perma- nent soarce of health and recreation to our people, but they havae already attracted to Chi- > felt :onmlem mztl that . quhi nolbodo t v 20 the aswceeaent was fixed st sbove cago s af odr maoet wealilly ‘and valuablo | o6 anien eight Lundred thousand doll- citizens. We hear of more that are coming. In this respect, if the improvements, as hereto- Zere, continue to bo made economicaliy, they will e worth to the city far more than they "have cost. Thero are scores of towns and_cities all over the Northwest from each of which doubt- Jess eeveral rich men will be induced to come here in order to share in tho benofits which a large city affords.

B THE SOUTH PARE. ==t Instruments, jConaider-, Conxider~ A notable evont of the week was the visit to No. | ation. ation. the South Park and the boulesards by the Com- missioners, the County Board, and sundry | Trust-deeds. 51355, officers of th city, members of the press, aod a few other guests. Tho officers of the Park Commission are required by law 1o report to tho County Board, and, besides the formal etatistics hereafter to bo precented, 1t was deemed best %o givo the county oflicers an opportanity to In- spect the work for themsalves. The par:y entered the Grand Boulovard from tho north, turned ecast on Oakwood, aud then rode down Drexel Boulevard to ‘the grand campus. Tho ppesrance of Drexel, with its beantiful varterres of flowers and winding gravel walks, is troly splendid. Half-s-mile on ,the east end of Pavilion Parloway, and s mile on 'the west, are to be treated in & mauner similar to | $100 each, thst of DNrexel Boulevard. An excellent driveis completed the entire length of Pavilion Park- WAy, 8% miles, leading from the park west to ‘Westora avenue. Therois tobo a perfect gem of apark.of 20 neres, forming the turning arc of a cirrlo to the boulevard north, of which West~ ern avenue is & part, to connect tho park system of the South with thut of the West Side. Most of our vew city maps havo all the parks and bou- levards laid down, aod they show s most gener- ous provision for the health and recreation of Chicago, both of the present and the future. Besides the beautiful drive-way, Pavilion Park- way is thoroughly sewered on both sides. East of Statestreet they run east to the Park. West of State for a mile and s half they run west to Scamman evenue; and from Western avenue cast th same distance to Scammon avenuo. On that street an immense sewer runs north through the Btock-Yards to the South Branch, draining all that part of the Town of Lake that lies north of Blue Istand. For a mile between State and Halsted streets s row of beautiful sugar-maple trees has been planted on each side of the boulevard, aud euch has been the success in planting and tending them that we aid not obsorve more than two or threo that had died. The Commissioners and party rode over the cn- tire distanco of Pavilion Parkway, and greatly admired the immense work that had already ‘been accomplished. As to Western avenue north to the canal, it is to bo regretted that nothing more can be done this fall. It was intended to pat in the sewers, but 80 many obstacles bave been thrown _in the wiy of tho Commiesioucrs by proporty-owners £hat thoy wero obliged to wait till spriog opens. Then they intend, if the Jands can be Eecured, to pusn it rapidly to completion, g0 that excursionists can readily make the circuit of the South Side system of parks and boulevards. Returniug, the party wereinvited to an elegant zollation at the house of Mr. Superintendent Berry. Thero Mr.Gage and Mr. Sidway ex- plained the plans of the Commissioners, snd they met the entiro approval of all present. The Hon. Carter Harrison suggested that a com- paratively emall section of the park be highly improved, and that cheap access be provided for it 1o the poorer classes of our citizens. Mr. Gage eaid such was their intention, and prom- ieed the horse-railway syetem suggested iu these columns several weeks azo. h % % THE WOBK ALREADY DONT. ‘Wo present the following synopsis of tae work xlready nccomplishod : Gravel roads and boulevzrds, miles.

Fhe general feeling amoug tiio option dealers sccmed to bo that prices will decline next week, under heavier raceipts, hence buyers held off, or filled i but sparingly. Theso remarks apply especially to next months’ trades. The September saons wero somewhat stimulated o action by the roport of tho weoks’ movement, which shows only aboat 525,000 ba of all grades in ttore here.
