TIn stating again this week that the resl.estato smerket is duil, we bave to chroniclo the condi- tioh ususl at this time of the year. December, Jauusry, sod February are ALWAYS QUIET MONTHS in real estate. There is no unwillinguess on the part of doulers to admit that this state of sfluirs is seasouable, though, without doubt, it presses more Leavily owing to tho fact that it has been preceded by a very prolonged and unsesson- sblo dollvess. Tuat this is the natural renction from the speculations of preceding years, and tue inevitablo concomitant of the do- “rossion iu business thnt follows the pauic, 18 in- Ccontestable. When the upward movement will hegin again is the question most mooted among property-holders and dealers. * Real estato is tho last to doclino, the last to riss,” isa familiar axiom. The revival that sll would boglad to sec, 2nd thet all will certainly sce in good time, will not, it may safely bo said, precede the return of prosperity io ofher directions. IT WILL FOLLOW. All the cacses necessary for such a renmewed era of nctivity and good times are in operatiou, with the single oxception of the currency, Wwhich is still altogother bad. Taking & large view of tlie situation, the most significant fact in regard to the future of Chicsgo is the contest betweon ihe seaports of the Atlsntic for the possession of ous trade.

New York is the only other city it the country where the edvanco in weaith and values of real estate has been like that of Chiczgo. A recont reminiscence told by Peter Cooper will show Dotter than any argumeut what may be expected of judicious nvestments in city realty.

TEAVY MORTGAGES. During the past week a morigage in trust was filed for record, given by the People's Gaslight aug|Coko Company to the Union Trust Compuny, of New York, to secure first-mortgage gold bouds amounting to $2,100,000, dated Nov. 1, 1874, pavable in thirty, years, baaring 6 per cent in: ferest. A second mortgaze has also been filed to secure 2,500,000 gold bonds, dated Dec. 1, 1874, bearing 6 per cent interest, princival ma- taring Dec. 1, 1904. The incumbrances cover the real and pereonal property of the Company. The United States Mortgage Company made an actual loan of §25,000 gold, payable April 1, 1850, interest 9 per cent, sccured by a mortgago covering 178 foet corner of Morgaa and Twenty- second strects.

SAN FRANCISCO REAL ESTATE. The report of the San Francisco real-estate market by the record shows that the sales made in November were about the same as those made in October, but theirr value was $213.103 more. This difference in value fairly illustrates tho re- cent increase in price of the proporties sold. All kinds of property inside of Twenty-sixtn streot, on the ono hand, and of Devisadero streot on the other, are advancing. The moet notable fact in reai estate lust month was the cropping-out of 2 tendency among buyers {o swing from tho ‘Western Addition back to Alission property, now much sought after, and o0ld prices are agin be- ing_ ssked and paid. Real-estate owners are glad tho Lick sale is over ; it buug like & cloud over the market, Many pertios who wisbed to buy waited to 8o Low prices would rule at They raled high for residence properts. cons quontly its effect has been to increase, rather than to reduce, prices. The recant sale of THE LICK ESTATE in San Francisco,wus a success in some respects. 3Most of the small residence lots brought hixh rices, but the most valuable business blocks, ike the Lick Housc properts, and the coruer of Clay, Washington. and Ssusome streets, wera gold in the lump, and were therefore too valua- Dlo for average buyers to bid upon. Astho Trustees have the right to resell any of the property, thees pieces will probably bo subdi- vided and resold. The Kecord says that the 115 feet on Sutter streot is worth $138,000 ; the va- cant 75 feet corner of Post and Lick streets is worth £108,750; the 200 feet on Montzomery and Lick streets by 160 on Sutter is well worth £650,000. The Lick House and wingara reported to us to have cost £315,000; they ought, thecefore, Dow to be worth $200.000 at least ; and the tur- niture is probably worth $50,000at least. We consider that whoaver socures the property at $1,250,000 to £1.350,000 will have an excellent purchase. The four water-lots on Beale street brought high prices. The corner of Fremonb and Mission also brought a fair price. The cor- ner of Battery and Jackson brought a good price. Both the propertics on Jackson snd Pacific streots, betwesn Mourgomery and Sansome, brougnt low prices ; botk are neglected locations. With s very few exceptions sll of the Nortl Deach property brought oot only good, but in manv cases extraordinary and altogether un- expectedly high, prices. MRS. GAINES' AUCTION. Mrs. Myra Clark Guines attempted to sell £t saunctioa several millioa dollars worth of New Or- leans real estate, Deo. 3, to satisfy her judg- ment against the city. The principal property advertised waa what is Imown a5 the * batture property,” and which bas been under dispute in the courts for some forty years. Five valuablo squares, fronting on the river, and in the most commercial aud val- ‘uable portion of the First District, were among there: Tho squares bounded by Del:a, Canal, Wells, and Gravier; Gravior, Poydras, Delta, and Water; Water, Pilie, Girod, and_ Notre Dame ; New, Pilie, Girod., acd Notre Dame ; Ner, Pilie, Notre Daae, and Julia, The sale was advertized in all the principal pewspapers of the couutrs. and would have been the grandest afair of the kind in the history of New Orleans. Unfortunately for 3Mrs. Gaines, the sale of af least all tho batture property was stopped by an injunction obtained by Juge Dib- ble, Assistant Astornev-General, before Judge Hawkins. This injunction especially prohibits thoe enio of this Ltattaro property. The eale could not be made, and had to be continued in- definitely to a distant day, when the injunction shall have been dismissed or dotermined. The injunction did not apply to soma minor pieces, which were s0ld at good Frices. THE PRIZE OF $1,000 offered by the Merchan:e’, Farmers’ & Xfechan- ics’ Savings Baok, of thid city, for the best plan for fire-proof dwellings for working-men, bes ex- cited the attention of architects, and Mr. Sidney Myers, the Frosident, has received information that twelve or tifteea plaos will be submitted. pidsieeigaitay SATURDAY'S TRANSFERS. ‘The following instruments were filed for record Saturday, Dec. 12: CITY FR0PERTT.

The patent bell hanctie pabenatired st Colt’s armory, are now very extensively used on horse-car lives, especially in the large cities. There are about 1,500 in use in New York, 1,600 in Philsdeiphis, 400 in Eostos, 200 in_ Chicago, 150 in Buflslo, 100 in Providence, 150 in Albauy, sod 200 in Troy. In London there are 1,600in use, in Dublin 1,200. and 150 in Liverpool. These punches are not Bold_to the companies, but aro Ilozved to them at a fixed rate, and_there are two punches _for each car, the rental being 25 cents per day for ench punch. The ch which is used to-day is surned into the office to be reset for to-morrow, and in the meantimo the conduc- tor employs the spare instrument. They are ~very handsomo and well mado arkicles, and o general rule i that every conductor is compelled to deposit §100 - with the compsany for the safe and fair uesge of the punches, MONEY AND COMMERCE FINANCIAL. BSATURDAY EVENING, Dec. 12. There waa no change of note in the financial situation to-day. The demand for loans s fair, but not strong enough to employ all the re- gources of the banke. Deposits have been drawn down in some of the Board of Trads banks, dopositors having apparently dotermined’ to seek their 10 per cent interest by cash opera- tions in provisions. As=rule, deposits have maintnined their Jevel unchanged in the mer- cantile banks. As beforo stated, jobbers obtain sufficient funds from their collections for the needs of their busioess, aod the packers aro using less, on account of the difference between buyers and sellera at the Stock-Yards, due to fears of the future prices of provisions. Though the business of the banks has beon Auller this week than for some time past. there is not any quotable difference in the rates for money. Discount is still 10 per cent to regular customers. Outside borrowers, with unques- tionable collaterals, can get slight concessions for,ehort time. Street rates are as herctofore,— S@18 yer cent. Real-estate loans are 9@10 per cout, though offers to loan at 8 per cent for long terms are made. New York exchango was firm to-day at 25@50 conts premium batween banks for 31,000. The movement of currency to the country for hogs has been very light all "the woelt, and was, if ansthing below the average to-day. With most of the bauks, the receipts have excoeded the shipment, but aro not yet considerable. Tho clearings to-day were £3,950,851.92. For tho week, they bave been $25,029,338.05; the bulances, §2,467,866.37; the fgures for the cor- responding week of last year were $19,922,- 826.77, and 81,918,293.48, respectively. Tho Americzu Express Compuny bave declared & eemi-annual dividend of $3 per share, peyable oo and after the 2d of January next. PROSPERITY ON THE PACIFI Tho San Francisco lival £slale I the following picture of the conditiun of bus- iness in Calitornia: “Every industry is prosperous, £00, and work for nearly all closses sbaudant, at good prices. Tho savings-banks aro ovortflowing with money, and the mines never wero more productive, tiat being speciaily trao of tho mines of Nevada. There is every probability that we shall have two or three of the most prosperous years eover koown in the history of the State, No wonder, therefore, that real es- tato is advapcing, and that, in point of numbers, the buyers exceed the sellers. Prices of_all proporty in the county must ad- ance. Desiraole business and residonce prop- erty will advaace from 25 to 60 per cont within the next thieo years, and strects will be dovoted to business that were hardly dreamed of in that connection & yoar or two ago. We had five yoars of stagnazion, from 1963 to 1873: now we are bowling anead again, and all in a logitimate way, too. Califorua is to-day by far the most prcsperous_State of the Union, and San Fran- cisco is probubiy tho most rapidly-growing, and certainly one of tho most posperous, cities in it.

It is true that tbe Committes has an ardyous task before it, involving no less o paradox than tho advice given a few years 230 Lo a membor of the Bourd, then in dillicuities + “Youshould pay everybody that you owe a cent to, but you must protect yourself.” The Committcs is informally charged with the duty of prevent- ing corners being run by buyers, and vet to so framo sules as that those rules will not give more protection to ono class of tradors than to another class. . The most sensible courso to talte in the matter is to roviso the rules, if they noed revition in that respect, fo as to requiro of mambera who fail to falfill their contracts just what isre- uired by the common law, and nothiug moro. £ the Board of Trada can provide for the eettlo- moat of disputed or unfulfi!led contracts, on the basis of the common Iaw, withont the delay. and tho great oxpeuses besides those which are inci- dont to that delay, attendant oo the rottlement of civil cases 1u the courts, it will furnish a0 invalu- zble aid to tho commerce of tho Northwest. If it canoot do_this, then any moro tinsering with the rales hiad better be let alone. We present the following as the principal points which it is desirable to canvass: 1 Shouid the comm n merchant in this city be required to do more than the law will eo- able bim to force his principal todo? Ought the mun who buys and sells in Chicago to the order of purties who are outs:de the_jurisdiction of the Boaid of Trade to be placed 1n ths false position of bomnz obliged to pay fictitions dam- aies when tho law permits the party for whom 1o is doing business to evade the reaponsibility, without passing through the bankrapter court 2 9. Can eny fair rulo be framed, permittiog the soller to default ou his contract, without at the same time providing that tho buger mny refuso to reccive property tendersd to him, on tho ground that prices bhave been asificially de- pressed to his injurv ? 3. How far should the price of grain, &c..in New York on a given day be accepted in avideace 23 to the value of the property iu Chicago at the same time? 4. When this market is above New Yorlk (rel- atively), a3 it generally is, who shall decido bow much of the differoncs is due Lo natural buoyan- ey here, and how much to the cornenng nrocess ? 5. 1f the moasure of the last-named quantity can be found, who shall decide how nuch of that is due to the cornerers, and bow much to the fact that the shorts bave run the market up on themselves? And would it be fair, or' not, to give to the short seller the benefit of both parts of the fictitions advauce ? If these difficuities can be met tho rules would probably not be open to very serious objection. The roturus of hog-packing to dato in this city aze 761,755 head, aguinst 796,197 for the same time & yesr ago. The Cincinnati Price- Current has Teturns from - thirty-tive country points, making an nggrezato of 465,712 head packed to date, against 331,946 for last year. The decrease in weight averages 6 Ibs. This is probably very much less ol a decrease than the fact, a8 many of thoso points are near Ciocin- nati, in a good district. Kunsas City 18 said to show an average decrease of 30 Ibs per hog ; and ‘most of the hogs that come from the grasshop- Der regions show the resul: of poor feeding in very light weight. The Price-Currenl estimates the total packing of the West to date at 2,810, 000 hogs. Tue mtock of pork in this city is reported to bo 90.000 brls. The leading produce markets were rather slow to-day, with an casier fecling in bozs and hog products, wheat, and barley, aod n_firmer tons inmost other depariments. The receipts con- tinno modernta for the season, being really small for fine weather, but are fully equzl to the demand, which is light all ronnd. Thero wes very little inquury to-day for anything for ship- ment. Dry goods were moving witb somo freedom, ana_were steady in price. Local retailers, wko of late have been doing o satisfactorily active basiness, wore liberal purchasers, and the amount of orders received from thc interior was also large for this time of the year. The grocers market presented a fair degree of activity both in the staple and fancy goods departments, and the toue of the muarket was steady and firm. No quotable changes were Dot~ ed. Butter .was in moderate demand, and was again quoted easy. Cheese remains steady and firm at 13@15¢ for primo factory. In the dried-fruit market the changes wero not im- portant. Nearly all impor.ed varieties were in active demand, while the movement in domes- tica was again reported elack. All varieties are firm. Cauned goods are Tocoiving more atten- tion than heretofore, but the market etill lacks thac degree of activity that usually charactenzes it at this stage of the veason. Fish remain dull. In the coal, wood, pig-iron, and leather markets 10 new features were developed. Oils were in demand at about previous quotations. An casi- er fecling in lard oil was apparent, but other lines.wero held at fully former rates. Lumber was quiet and steady. The aggregatoof salesis not heavy, though for December probably equal toexpectations. The iron, metal, and nail markets were unchanged in their general features. Trade in either was up to tho average. Broom- corn is firm under & continued good demand. Several large orders have been received from tho Xast withiu a few days, which bave caused sell- ors to stiffen pricos for common and medium grades. Thestockstorcd here approximates 2,600 tous, and thero is some corn scattered through the country, but most of it has gone out of growers' hands. Wool retains its firmuess, under & moderately fair demand and light offer- ings. Bocds were very quiet, but tolorably steady, with the exception, perhaps, of timothy, the stock of which i8 supposed to be hoavy. Hay, hops, and hides were unchanged. Green fruits were selling slowly, Southern oravges be- ing higher. _Potatoes were fine, especially choico varioties. Eggs, poultry, and game where fresh aud in good condition, sold more readily to the local trade at a shade better prices. Provisions. HOG PRODUCTS—Were less active and rather weak, in sympathy with s slight reduction in the price of hogs. Tho speculative articles wera the wuakest, snd the busineas done chiefly consisted in turning over option lots from one mouth to another, thera Luing very littlo demand for consumption or invest- ment, The packers aro still operating but aparingly, Cclaiming that they caunot afford to cut at present Ticen.
