The South Park Commissioners have, from the incaption of their enterprise, been anxions 10 catablich a Botanical Garden. The difficulty they have me¢ with was tho securing.of FEOPER SUFEBYVISION =t » nominal cost. This has at length been done, | =5 will appear from a private note from L. B, Sidway, Esg., cne of the Commissioncrs, who has charge of the Botsnical Department. Al though not intended for publication, Mr. 8. must excuse us for inserting hus letter as the best mozns of giviog onr readers a full understand- g of the whele subject s Cmcaco, Jen. 8, 1875.—My DEAR —: Isend vouherewith the Pharmacistfor January,in which vou will find (p. 28) an account of the organiza~ tion of the mapagers of the Chicago Botanical Garden. , You will remember that, after much ihought, this plan was adopted because it gave e Commirsion, free of cost, the services of first~class men who fook an interest i the maiter, and who, bya proper division of the auties, would bring about results that otherwise couid be attained only by a larger outlsy of money than the Commission conld afford. And even thenitis notat all likoly they conld have procured (ke services of a botanist of as much ability as P:of. Babeock, who has few equals in the State, and who is already thoronghly zequainted with the flora of the Northwest. A Dbounical garden, worthy of the name, cannot be made like an ordinary park. 1: must have constant study, research, and care- {ul, scientific management. A botanical garden is mever finivhed, but, by good masagement, it can be made attractiye from the first. I know of o good reason why this may not become the great garden of the Continent, and at a compara- tively small cost. 1 sappose I am an enthusiast ox the subject of - horticultural, botanical, snd floral improvements ; Lat Iknow of no way in which money can be expended that ~ill yia]d'umnch pleasure to zll classes, rich and poor, a8 in making attractive parks, 1 hardly think there was ever any one improve- ment made in or about Chicago that so thorough- Iy delighted the people or gave so favorable an impression to strangers as Drexel boulevard. And this, in connection with the idea of as far a5 possible carrying 8 park to every man's door, ‘pas induced me to beso strongly in favor of an {mprovement similar to Drexel. on Western avenue, The following is_the article from the Phar- smacist reforred to by Mr. Sidway : ‘We are happy to be able to announce to our readers theinauguration, in Chicago, of an enter- prise which, when fairly ib progrees, will furnish xn additionsl source of interest and pleasure to our citizens, prove an atiraction to visitors from abread, snd supply a want long felt by scientific ‘men and students in the Northwes:. The Board of South Park Commissioners have determined upon the establishment of Botanic Gardeos, aud have intrusted the general man- agement and direction to the foliowing commit- 1oe, citizens of Chicago and Hyde Park: H. N. Iubbard, John R. Walsh, E, H. Sargent, H. H. Pabcock, and Albert E. Ebert. Theso gentle- mon have agoepted the appointment, and orgn: jzed by the election of Mr. H. N. Hibbard, Presi. dent, and 1. H. Babcock, Secretary and Botanic- 21 Director. ‘The South Parks comprise about 1,200 acres, and the Commissionera will reserve for the gar- decns all the space that may boe reguired for pres- ent and prospective use, in such locality as the Board of Managers may select as most suitable for the purpose. - - ‘The managers will at once decide the location, and proceced to mature a plan for the gardens, ‘upon & broad and comprehensive basis, commen- surate with the importance of the subject and the desires of the Commissioners. The latter bave expressed the wish that these ehall be made tosarpass, in general atiractiveness and scientific importauce, all similar establishments in tius country, end have promiised thewr most Jiberal support 20d co-operation. 3 The contemplsted plan includes the formation of— First—The Botanic Garden proper, in which «ii indigencus plants of the United States, and hardy species from other parts of the world, will De arranged. as far a8 ible, sccording to their patursl affipitics, while hot-houses and green-houses will bs ided for the reception and display of tropical plants. «Second—An arboretum, or collection of hardy trees from all parts of ths world, planted in such order as to serve the purposes of science and ornament. Third—A garden devoted to genersl fioricnl- ture, with special reference to furnishing mate- rial for besutifying the parks and boulcvards. Fourth—A botanical museam, for the exhibi- tion of vegetable cconomic products, which will scrve to illustrate, in connection with the living plants cultivated in the gardens, the sources ana varicus applications of substances derived from the vegetable kingdom. 3 Fifth—An berbarium, or collection of speci- mc;s of dried plants, seientifically arranged; m Sizth—A Library of botanical works; the last two being considered indispensable adjuncts to the gardens, since they furnish the only means for correctly naming the plants ueder cnltiva- iion, and for ma‘ntaining the establishment upon 3 reientific and practical Liasis, Tho foll developmeni of this plan, above 1tetched, will bo the work of years, but tho Board of Manapers are mindful of the fact thac :he people of Chicago, in particular, are ever im- paticut of delsy, and as early a8 practicable will pzke arTangements for Lh?r gmpeg nu!.l;e of ma~ already €] expect et the reslt of % 8eason’s work will be such as to attract the atzen- tior of euangers sud enlist the active co- operation of our citiz in particular the 1ocmbens of the medical and pharmaceutical pro- fess:rne, in maling these gardens, eventually, 3t honor to our city and the country. i In obtaining the gervices of Prof. H. H. Bab oock 88 Botanical Director, the Board was foriu- nate, and the wisdom of thie choice will be ap- t 8¢ an carly day. PeruaJm no_other gen- tlemsn in the community could have been select- 24 combining a5 fally the gualifications requsite 10 sucoess in an enterprise deraanding rare sci- enufic z'tsinments with good administrative sbility. He is assured of the active co-operation of each memwber of the Board of Managersin sis work, and we heartily commend the project 10 our friends cverywhere, who are interested in the progrees of education and in farnishing means for acquiring it. —_— . SALES OF THE WEEK. The local real estale market has been devoid of interest during the past weel. The incloment weather added to the characteristic duliness of tlie sczeon has operated against any unusual ac- favity. - RBeal estate deslers do not expect, at this lime of the year, when merchants are studying their balsnoe-sheets, to see much money seeking favestment in tneir commodity, and their expeo- tations bave certainly not been dissppointed so far, 5 Another ezle of property OX WABASH AVEFUE was made that will excite attention, and will not tend to arrest the downward movement in val- ucs indicated by other recent sales there. J. & Honry Weil have 20ld the lot 40x172 fect on the northeast cornes of Wabash avenue and Harrison street, for £26,500, including bricks and foundation. The Iatter wero valued at $5,500. The ground value, at this price, is $525 a foot, & very coasiderable reduction from the ant-panice price. T%4 same firm have sold 85x100 feet on Illincis stret, between Dearborn and State, for §5,000. Larkin, Jenks & Co. have sold 143 acres at Spaulding on the Chicago & Pacific Railroad, for £35.000. all cash. Two-story house, with lot 45x 125, corner Western and North avenues. for $4.000.

One lot 25x125, on Central Park avenue, corner Tillmore, for &1,000. L. N. Sawyer sold 100 feet on Michigan avenue, 100 feet south of Thirty-ninth street, west front, with improvements, for $45.000.

Harry Hammer, Dec. 31, for £4,000. Charles B. Holmes & Co. have sold a two~ story and basement brick house on Ellis avenue, near Brooks street, for $8,000. Also, E 3¢ Block 11, Halsted street Addition to Washing- ton Heights, being on the corner of Hough street and Ninety-fonrth, for $8,000. & x.!EOBmvm has sold ten lots at Park Ridge for Messrs. R, P. Blanchard & Co. have exchanged & four-story and basement stone-front_business block on Soath Clark street, between Leke and South Water streets,for 125 feet on Madison, 250 Teet on Warren avenue, 250 feet on_Washington street, 250 fost on Parl avenue, and 125 foet on Lake street. Both proverties are clear of in- cumbrance, and esch was estimated at $50,000. ‘The same firm so'd 600 feet on Aadison street, corner of Sacramento avenue, and 612 feet on Barry Point road, corner of Sascramento avenue, Tor a total consideration of 64,000, 16,000 ‘cash, balance on sbort time payments. Mason & ills have sold 25 feet, east front, on Qakley streat, 300 feet northof Northaveuue, for §800; 25 feet, east front, oo Shober streat, north of North svenne, for 31,000 ; » 3-acre lot, south front, on North avenue, in Sec. 35, near the Milwaukee & St. Paul crossing, for $1,900. Fred L. Fake has sola 83 feet on Daarborn street, South of Forty-fourth, for $4,400. BUSINPSS FOR THE YEAR. The Real Estate and Building Journal sum- marizes the business of theyear and compares it ‘with the two preceding yeara: . The total consideration of sales for 1374 was $67,871,636. Tor 1873, £78,£27,39L For 1872, $78,933,431. The first half ot 1873 was an unusually brisk period in the real estate trade of this city, tao grand total for the six months ending June 30 Deing 813,475,377, This was an increase of £8,266,263 over the corresponding period of 1872. 'The total for the last six months of 1878 was 834,952,014, making the grand total for, the year 1873 §78,427,301. ~ This leaves a difference in favor of 1873 over the total of 1874 of $10,- 555,755. The.total of 1872 was 78,983,431, be- ing $556.040 greater than that of 1873, and §11,111,795 greater than that of 1874, BUILDING. J. L. McKeever is now erecting & block ofifonr houses on Bowen avenue, beiween the Doule- vards, to be octagon fronts, two-story ana base- ment brick, with hendsome stone tnmming aod all modern improvements. Mr, McKoover has added twenty-six fine brick houses to this locali~ ty within the past year. All are sold and occn- pied except those now bailding. ——— THE LOAN MARKET. The first weeks of the new year . are generally dull'in all kinds of business, and the real estate loan market forms no exception to the - general rule. There bas been nothing doing the past fow days calling for special mention. The in- struments filed for record aze generally for small congideration, and what few, are well up in the thonsands are in part settlement of trades, and are no indication of the state of the market.

KT REAL ESTATE ELSEWHERE, The New York Real-Estale Journal says the business done in real estate is almost of a nomi- pal character. The sales are mostly those of form, in order to give valid titles to mortgagees, who are generally the purchasers of propertics submitted to the hammer uonder the suits of foreclosure. - The present duliness will doubt- less prevail until the spring, when something more is hoped for thas has been experienced in the passing year, which has been one of marked inaction. IN BAN PRANCISCO, The San Francisco Real-Estale Circular says : #The number of sales made in 1873 was 3,134, of the value of §12,383,752 ; the number of sales made in 1874 was 3,854, of tho value of nearly £24,000,000. These figures fully illustrate the increase of real-estate business last year. That increase nearly all occurred during the last half, and perticularly during tho_last quarter, of the year, The prospect mow is that the sales of 1875 will amonnt to $36,000,000.”" Dunng the year 1874, 1,115 applications for new water-conoections to houses wero mads fo the Spring Valley Water Company. _In very many cases the application represented two to ten houses bwlt together by one owner. One application from the Keal-Estate Associates, for instance, represents six to tweuty new houses. 1t is, therefore, sufe to say that =t leasi 2,000 new houses and buildings were erected here mn 1874. Had not labor and bricks been scarco and high, and general building material dear, a much larger number of buiidings and housea would have been erected. ¥ — TRANSFERS.

From the Japan Mail, Kissburo, 2 mau of a carcful and eaving dispo- sition, abandoned his lodgings and took a small dwelling text door to s famous eel-house. Now, as every ono knows that the titillating odor of eels fried in soy may be perceived far and pear, Kisabaro fonnd this chmg:aof quarters vastly to Lis advantage, and eat his simple meal of rico to the sccompaniment of the delicious smell, dispensing with the usual adjuncts of fish or vegetables. { - ‘The eel-man was not slow to discover this,and determining at length to ask his frugal-minded neighbor for payment, took him an account for the ~smell " of his eels. Eisaburo ered him astutely, and, drawiog from his pocket-book tho amounnt claimed from him, laid the money on tae bill and began to converse with his visitor. The latter at length rose to depart, when Kisaburo quietly roplaced ths money in his pockat-book. “Hey!" quoth the eel-map, “I thought thai onoy was for me; why don’t you give it to me?” **Not #0,” was the reply; “you havs charged me with the emell of your eels. Ipay you back with the smell of my money.” MONEY AND COMMERCE. FINANCIAL. The sctivity of the fAinancial aitustion was hin- dered momewhst yesterday by the dinary severity of the tweather, which delsyed the mails ana madeall outslde business difficult. There wea stilla fair demand from miscellaneous sources, Arenewed demand for sccommodations has sprung up since the first of the year, and the banks state 55 a rale that their business has been good during the past week, The calls come from the packers, manufac- {urers, and a leas extent from mercantilo sources. In consequence the discount prices of many of the banks have been Taised mestly as high 28 they care to have them at this time. This is not the cas0 with all, nor perhaps with most, but the existence of asound healthy demand s felt on all hands, al- thongh thers is still a considerable surplus of means, Ratesof discount remain as heretofors quoted at 10 per cent to customers who borrow the year round. In- dependent borrowers, who have good security, are readily sccommodated a8 0r9 par cent, according to time and circumstances, Theeupply of good outside commercial papor inthe hands of the noto-brokera is amall. Rates range from £@18 per cent. The real estate loan market a dull; loans are made from 8@10 per cont. There was s marked diminution in the orders for currency yesterday. During weatherso cold as that ‘which now prevails the ehipment of hogs will be large- Iy arrested. The receipts of currency are inconeiderable. New York exchange was firm at T5e premium be- tween banks for §1,000. The orders to send exchangs East on country sccountars large. Large amounts are likewise sent from this city to settle mercantile in— debedness in New York., The clearings are still lower, being reported at $109,- 000. For the weck they were $30,164,755,56; the bal- 2nces were §2,680,202.67, For tho corresponding week of last year the figures were $25,431,181.59 and §1,873,- £26.46. The Cook County National Bank has added $20,000 10 its surplus, which is now $100,000, or 20 per cent on its capital, The banks of this city yesterday received from the Comptroller of the Currenty the expected call for a statement of thelr condition. The date of tho exhibit is to bo Dec. 31, the intention of the Comptroiler be- ing to obtain a showing af the state of business at the end of the year. The Hibernian Banking Associstion havo declared 3 ividend of 10 rer cent, payable on aud after Jan. IL. T. G. Hoag, Eaq., Assignee of the Lumberman's In- surance, is now psying o the policy-holders of tnat Company 3 7-10 per cent—making in all 48 7-10 distrib- uted from the assets of that Company. The dividend is final. Mr. Hoag has managed the affairs of the Company to the entire satisfaction of the original pol- icy-holders, realizing much more from its assets than was expected. The San Francisco Chronicle of the 34 inst. describes the business of tho preceiling day in mining etocls : Business was transacted entirely on the stroet, nelther of tho Stock Boards being in seasion. There were some very remarkuble fluctuations, Ophir open- ed in the morning withl a strong upwand tendency. It s0ld as high as $250, In the twinkling of an eye it dropped to $240, ana in another to $230, Here it re- ‘mained for a few moments, and then was offered_and taken at §225. Then came a rally, and Jate in the af- ternoon it closed st $232%;. Bulllon exhibited similar tactics—selling at one moment at $55 and the mext at SG0_ Other stocks were as follows : Gould Carry, £54@56; Best & Belcher, $30@71; Consoly 2d Vi giuia, $690 ; Californis, $630; Savage, $170(@160 ; Ex- cheguer, $350; Overman, $95@100 ; Mexicay, $50@47. The voltme of business was quite {arge, and the brok- era bad theirhands full. A few tore themselves from ihe festive scens and spent the afternoon betting on the Ajux-Voorhees race, but the large majority fought it out on the street line all day, In the local market the inquiry for Governments haa falien off, The popular impression seems to be that one effect of the new Currency law will be o reduce the currency values of Government bonds, and there is an indisposition to buy freely, besidesa quiet ten- dency on the part of bankers and others to sell. The pricos ware therefore weaker. We quote: Bid. Asked. Onited States 6s of '81. United States 5208 of '62. United States 5-203 of '64..

The speculative de- partment was thus Jeft to itself to o considerabls ox- tent, and suffered somewhat, though mot less active than s usual on a Saturdsy. The reduced volume ot grain receipts, with the prospect of continued cold, ‘was the chief cause of a speculative strength not ex- perienced at other potnts. The excitement of the day was found in the lard ‘market. The failure of 2 New York firm, largely shart in that market and in Liverpool, and to some extent in Chicago, caused an up rush of contending currents at all three points, Liverpool advanced 4s per 112 Ibs, New York Xc per Ib, and Chicago 20c per 100 bs, The recent strength in lard is surprising in view of the strong bear influence at work upon {t, and the per- sistence with which outside capital bas seemed to hold aloof from it. But it seems thata good demand hes existed throughout. If was stated on Baturday that s0me 44,000 tcs have bean purchased for acoount of porties in Germany, and that operators at several other points have quietly picked up a great deal which was suppozed to be simply bought by local speculators to throw on the market again when they could realize o satisfactory profit. As our stocks are not much moro than two thirds as large as s year ago the position isa strong one; but the prescat excitement in Liverpool arises chiefly from the fact ihat the short sales thers ‘were mads for January delivery from New York, and it is feared that the lard cannot now be forwarded in time to Al the contracts. Dry goods were quoted quiet with values nominally unchanged. In the grocery market there waa an ab- sense of anything resembling activity, though ina quiet way a respectable aggregate of sales waa accom- plished. Prices were sustained all around, the firm Toeling manifested on the Freceding days of ‘the weok still being apparent. No changes of moment were de- veloped in the market for foreign and domestic dried fruits, As s rule prices are more firmly held than at the beginning of the week, though the greater firmness in 1o instance amounted toa quotable advance. Fish were dealt in very sparingly. There was some move- ment in canned goods, and fully former prices were being realized. Peaches still show sn upward tend- excy, but other lines aro about steady. Dealersin coal and wood were kept busy, the demand for the formerorticle being especiaily active. Quotations rango as before, Butter was dall at unchanged prices, cholce grades being Armly held, while lowand medium qualities remain weak, Cheese Was inactive, the in- tensely cold weather proventing shipments, In the bagging, lesther, pig-iron, And tobacco markets there were no changes of suficlent imrortance to require mention. Ofls remain quiet and firm, ‘The lumber market was very quiet. In hardware, including nails and iron, {here were no new features, Country orders are few and far between, as ususl in January; the market, Lowever, for many metals, par- Hcalarly copper, is firm, and iron and pails are steady at present rates, The broom-corn market was firm though Little is doing. Sellers have control of the ‘market, and hold about all the corn in the comntry which has not gone ino manafacturers’ hands, and are in no hurry to part with fc. Hopa were quiet, but choice grades are firm, owing totheir scarcity in this country and continued firroness abroad. Hay and nides wgre quiet. The intense cold weather inter- rupted trade on the street, Poultry was firm under 1light offerings and a moderate inquiry. Potatoes were quiet, Timothy seed was more Active, and other secds quict and steady. PROVISIONS. HOG PRODUCTS~—Were irregulorly stronger. Lafd was active and excited, 88 above noted, and other pro- ducts were firmer in sympathy, though quiet, as the attention of moet operstors was coucentrated om the lard deal. The recelpts of hogs were small, &s is nsual on Saturday, and that market was steady ; the pricejof for coarse to choice. ConN-MeAL—Was que ¢ed at $340@0.60 per brl for Kin-dried, and $24.00@: 4.50 per ton for coarse, WHEAT—\as only In moderate demand, but aver- sged i@ ¥(c higher tha- on ¥riday, chieflyas a conse- quence of smaller Tecelp is, owing o the storm. Lir- erpool was reported flat, with expectations of Iarger farmers’ delivories, and * New York was dull, with no desira to buy, Hence thiire was little prospect of an active shipping movema'it to prevent a further ac- cumulation of our sto ks in store; they increased ‘more than 400,000 bu dur: ng the past week.

OATS—Were in modersts d omand and firm, prices sveraging Xc higher than on the previous day. The advance was due principally to_the light receipts and the stronger fecling in corn.
