. + REAL ESTATE. The Prospect for House and Store Rents. Sales of the Week Few and Unim- portant, The Loan Market in a Quiet Condition. The Bctanical Garden---Sugges- tion for a Site. . Workingmen’s Building Association--- AlLarge Rent Boll. The usual dullness of this intermediate season tbes been aided during the past week by the ex- tBordinary weather, which bas interfered with all business more or lesa. The sales of the week comprise few transactions of importance. ‘Landlords and tenants are making preparations for the annual tilt about reots, There bas been too little movement as yet to make it possible to give any decisive views aa to the rate of rents. ‘The present indications point unmistakably to a redaction. The people are lessening their ex- penditures in every direction, and do not intend, if choy can help it, to pay the rents they havo been suoject to. The supply of houses is large, and it will be increased by the manifest tendency of tenants whobave been occupying single houses to take to apartments and boarding-houses. There wil likewise probably be a movoment to the suburbe, where rents are still cheaper. In the neighborhood of business centres thero will not be avy yielding in store-renta. Else- where Inndlords will have to meet the views of tenants, who bave indubitably the advantage of the present situation. ———— SOME SALES OF THE WEEK. A DULL MARKET, ‘Mr. J. H.

Counties, DL, (also including a por- tion of Lake County, Ia.), that has ever been published for the same territory, It shows all cities, villeges, subdivigions, railroads, wagon- roads, water-courses, avd property-owners’ -pames on all acre property throughout Cook County. The want of such reliable map as this has long been felt by our real-estate firms; in fact all parties interested in acre property in the eounty ehorid be the possessor of acopy. The mep is 64x74 inches in size, neatly colored and mounted, ard for sale by the publishers at their map-rocms ‘Nos. 24 and 25, 124 Clark street. ee THE LOAN MARKET. WHAT UAS BEEN DONE. TI CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNF: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1875 ‘What is called the Reform-School tract is wholly unimproved, snd a waste piece of land lying right in the way of the city’s progress, which has already reached it. This tract was origi- nally incorporated in the South-Park scheme, as an arm reaching over to the lake, and _ sffordin, fine water-view and shore-drive. for some reason it was omitted in the plat finsily adopted: but it has alwavs been one of the favorite plans of the Park Commissioners to obtain control of this land. ‘There being = convenient station at Forty-second street of the Illinois Central Rail- road, and the Stock-Yards Railroad runuing on Forty-firet street intersecting the Rock Island & Michigan Southern Railroad, thus admitting of a popular dummy line from Van Buren streot de- potto the Lake Shore depot at Forty-second street, by a simple switch at the crossing. 1t will be seen that this is the nearest and most scces- sible large piece of grouod m the vicinity of the city. As the times are unfavorable for the county to make sale of this tract, which the Commissioners greatly want, apd the county is needing Jarger and cheaper fand for hospital andother building purposes, let the Reform- Sebool tract be exchanged for a larger number of acres, of equal value, .to be taken from the lower side of Lake Park, that can spared withont detriment to the public. This is the public dealing with the public—the right band exchanging with the left—thus adjusting public wanta and accommo- dating public interests. The county would get what would better suit her, aud the Commission- ers would get, without further expenditure, s consummation of their wishes, and we, the pec- ple, should have, within reasonable reach, » gar- den of joy and delight. The Legislature now in session can page the necessary act to authorize the exchange on the part of the Commissioners. Now is the time, and now is the opportunity, that should not be suffered to passunheeded. The consideration of the public and those in author- ity is earncatiy invited to this subject. Lot not the sentence of all sensible men be, s few years hence, “Some one has blundered.” HF. = WORKINGMEN'S _ BUILDING ASSOCIA- TIONS. HOW THEY ARE OPERATED IN PHILADELPHIA, Suppose # workingman, receiving say $60 per month, wishes to secure himself a home. Select- ing s locality in the outskirts favorable to his business, ho purchases alot from the ground- rent landiord by a written obligation to pay the legal rate per cent interest annually on the prin- cipal, So, on s lot purchased for $200, only $12 ayear would have to be paid, or for $500, only $30. Asa rule, aneligibly situated lot, 18 fect front by 90 deep can be procured for the former figures. Just aslong as this yesrly rental is paid the owner cannot demand the principal. Having secared his lot, xs the next stop the workingman joins a building association. The stock of these associations is divided into 1,000 shares st $1 each, and any number of ebaros from one to fifty may ba taken. We will suppose he purchased five, On this he pays an assess- ment of $1 a share every month. As will be seen, the sum of $1,000 is paid in monthly. At each regular meeting this money 1s put up at auotion among the members, the one agreeing to pay the highest premiom in addition to the in- tereat being the purchaser. The money is not at once delivered, however, unless competent se- curity is given, but is kept until the house (for the payment of which the money is needed) is erected, on which » mortgage is taken. If $100 is paid asa premium, it is added to the face of the note, which is made to ran for $1,100 instead of $1,000. 80, without really paying out any money, he gets his land and his house, and bas the satisfaction of knowing that as long as the interest ia promptly paid no power can dispos- seas him, Let us seo what that interest would amount to, and how it will compare with average rentals. We will suppose that he pays $12 ground rent per annum, the interest on his loan and pre- minum, $66 ; taxes, $20; making s total of $93, or what would be equivalent to a monthly rent of afew cents over $8. Besides this, ia the monthly payment to the Association of the stock sesessments, amounting to $60 annually, which is spplied tothe payment of the princi- pal As all the profits are divided among the atock- holders, and as money is sold every month, some- times at double the premium we have mentioned, beside the accruing interest, it will be readil; seen that the borrower is eutitled to « perpetai dividend. It would take bim nearly nineteen years, payitg his interest and $60 per year to take up his mortgage, but in reality, he often finds himself in absolute possession of his home, free from incumbrance, in half that time, oe A LARGE RENT-ROLL. THE ASTOR ESTATE. The Astor estate contains about 700 houses, which cover 40 acres in very desirable localities. The Astor House alono is worth $1,800,000. A very large part of the property lies on the Fourth and Fifth avenues, also Madison avenue, where entire squares of elegant houses acknowl- edgehis name. The land was bought by the original Astor at prices ranging from $500 to 21,000 per sere, and each acre is now worth nearly s million. All of these 700 tenants have been visited during this week. Astor’s collectors are men of brief Janguage. All that needs be done is to utter the cabalistio words, “Check for the rent,” and deisys are taken with ill grace. Tho reply is, Wecannot be ranning twice—too much to do.” Indeed, if peopie want to hold Astor’s property they must be ready with the money. The rent-roll is said to fill thirty pages of writing paper. Even the indorsement of the checks is no small task. Old William B. was wont to do this antl extreme age enfeeblod bis hand. How many thousand checks has he indorsed with his potential name? The Astor land-office has received in this manner during the past week nearly $400,000, and alfis not yet collected. This money is deposited in the Bank of New York, the Chemical Bank, aod oth- er old-fashioned institutions, and will soon be re- Business continues stagnant, but. notwithee@nyosted in good securities. standing the discouraging state of affairs, loan sgents speak hopefally, and are looking for an early return of activity, Applications have been made for some large amounts within the past few days, for the purpose of improving property. Perhaps the steadiness of the rate of interest is atair indication of the confidence with which the moneyed men regard the situation. During the last week the following loans have been made: $25,000, three years at 10 per cent; $12,500, two years at 10 por cant: $12,500, three years at 10 Fe cont; $22,000 gold, five years at 9 per cent. pied gums are all secured on choice inside prop- COMPARATIVE STATEMENT YOR THE SECOND WEEE OF FEBRUARY, : ws. 1874, | Consider-| Consider Bo. } anon. | No. | ation, 1825 407,707|' 293. 688,767 sal 80,691, 70; 249,335 aasls 489,998; 2983 931,129 177 192 COMPARATIVE STATEMENT FROM FEB.1 TO FEB. 1S, sis. 1874.

Je tha: Edior of The Chicago Tribune: ‘The project of establishiog » botanical garden on the South Side is attracting very general in- terest, and the public not only regard the scheme with approval, but anticipate from its success a rare provision for their esthetical cultiration, happy relaxation, and scientific instruction. To maintain popular favor, and *‘ to do the greatest good to the greatest number,” which should be the aim of all such undertakings, much will de- spend on the Jocation of the garden. To place it at a remote and inaccessible point would confine its benefits to the few, soon resulting in neglect -and failure, Nearness and convenience of loca- tion woold invite the throng, and allow of con- tact of the masses with all the expected influences of theinstitution. It isundeniable that our South bide are too distant to be favorite resorts forthe working population of the city. While it is a rare thing to see a pedestrian in the near- ez park, cronds of men, women, and children can be seen, on a summer's day, in the besutifal walks of Drexel avenue, from its head to about Forty-fifth street, admiring the exquisite parterres ‘of flowers, znd enjoying whss there is of its ar- tintic pe. Now, let this babit and move- ment of the populous tide indicate the proper lo~ eation for thia Botorical Garden, that can be msde the most sttractive feature of our environs. ‘THE SPRING BATTLE. * After the landlord has collected his rents, the narterly excitement abates and the painful ought recars, “I must wait three months be- fore] shall get any more.” But the quarter- day of which I have spoken has opened con- flict between landlords and tenants in regard to rent. The Jatter demand s reduction correspond- ing with the times. This will in some cases be conceded, while in others it will be denied. Rents in high-priced places must decline heavily. The fact that $100,000,000 of rent is annually paid on this little island ie astonishing, and this immense tax should be redaced. —_-—_ TRANSFERS: ‘The following instruments were filed for record Ssturday, Feb, 13: crry PRorenry.

Later in the day there was alight recovery, bat towards the close stocks were very dull and weak, except for Pacific Mail, The market closed active and weak, The “bears” profess to be in receipt of a dispatch from Nsshvills to the effest that efforts are being made in the Legislature to repudiate a portion of the bonded debt of the State, ‘The first.mortgage bondholders of the Great Western Railroad, of 1859, and idnols & Southern Iowa Rail- road, this sfterncon appointed Messrs, Griswold, Lord, Brown, and Balawin, a commttteo toconfer with the Directors of the Road, and to apply, if necessary, by judicial proceedings, for the appointment of » Re~ ceiver to protect their interests and eee that the earn- ings of the roads are applied sccording to priority of Hens, and not devoted to the payment of the floating debt, : ‘The existing duliness in the market fn generally at- tributed to the advanced rates of commissions, and the dissatisfaction in regard to this matter seems to be growing. ‘To-day a call was afloat for s meeting on the 28th inst, to form anew Board, ‘Tha transactions to-day aggregated 197,000 shares, committee of experts to look after the Rock Inland barley matter and report, Of course that committee cannot alter tha inspection, which is a State matter ; but if it shonid be proved that therois anything wrong, that wrong would undoubtedly be remedied by the Btate officials who have the inspection in charge. ‘The leading produce markets were rather quist on Saturday, but with a steadier feeling, and more atrength in the leading cereals, There was very little demand for shipment, oa the rise in rail-freighte monkes Jt impossible for shippers to compete with those who made contracts before the advance took ef- fect, and are now sending forward their property at the minimum figures of the scsson, The receipts continue to be very small in nearly sll departments, so that our stocks in store ara not growing rapidly, a8 heretofore. ‘The demand for staple dry goods continues steadily good, and the market maintains s buoyant tone. Prints, ticks, cottonades, and bleached and brown cot- tons are advancing.

Iron is firm, In consequence of the large reduction in the production in the Pittsburg districts, No advance is likely to occur {immodiately, ‘but there is Uttle or no disposition now to cut rates, Nails are also firm, in sympathy with iron, ‘The wool, hop, hide, and troom- corn markets were ‘without material change, Seeds were negle:ted, Tho oferings were fair, and former prices were raked, but there was little demand from any source, Potatoes were firm under moderate offer ings.

The advices from Liverpool were indicative of more stezdiness there, but New York was dull, deliveries being obstructed by ice in the harbor, But the re- cepts here were again very amals, reducing the volume of current offerings, and making holders of lots in store Jess anxious to eell them, Hence, though there was but a limited demand for options and a very small one for shipment, the market was generally firm, not a few oper ators holding the opinion that low prices have as much todo with emall receipta here as the weather has, A large proportion cf the business done was simply changing over from March into April, there being scarcely any buying orders from outside.

New York was dull, and Liver- pool un‘eratood to be easior, while the recent rise in rail freights was an obstaclo to the making of now won- tracts for shipment. But the offerings were small, and a good many operators were inclined to think that the receipts will keep at low ebb for some time to come. Hence a better inquiry from the short interest and some new orders for investment, chiefy in the op- erations for Apriland May, Ticro was also a fair in- quiry on local account, for car lots, the distiliers hav- ing bonght little during the week of agonizing cus- pense about the tux, which is now partially over, as well as the scare in’ regard to reinspecting the now corn on the 20th of April, so as to make it regular.
