Baot Ingniries Are Numerous, and the Market Confident. &n Outiet Wanted for the Surplus of the Loan Market. . What the Park Commissioners Are Doing Southward. THE REAL-ESTATE MARKET. TEE WEEE'S BUBINESS. ‘Thers is no branch of business which is more affected by weather than real estate, and the in- Huence of the cold days of ilhe pastreck has been felt to the detriment of the operators in rezlty. Alarge part of the recent demand for residence property has been due to the approach of the 1st of May, when persons of means wished to be able to move into their own homes, At this time, also, business men from the surroand- ing towns who move their business into Chicago are on the lookcut for bomes, This demsnd has been, most of it, satisfied, and for a few days the market is likely to bs guistar. The sales reported bslow, it mast bs at once recoguized by all familiar with the price of real estate in Chicsgo, aze with fow exceptions good bargaine. A comparison of the prices asked for Chicago landed property and ¢hat in other cities shows that proportionately to ths population, wealth, and business, Chiago realty is the cheapest in the conntry. The surplus of money ‘hers and elsewhers is certain to find outlets in channels that directly and indirectly en- Liance the value of real estete. If this be 80, the present is a time that prudent men will chooso to make their investments. The condition of the rent market remains as repeatedly described in this column. The cheap- er class of dweliings, up to £60 a mocth, have been in such demand that they have suffered but httle reduction. Above that fizuro rents hove been cut to snit tenants, the reduction varying from 15 to 80 per cent. —_—— PARKS AND BOULEVARDS. PBOGRESS OF THE WOLK. During the week the South Park Commission- 218 heve secured on reavonsble terms the re- mainipg five ecres at the intersection of Pavil- fon parkway and Western sveaue,and have sow the grounds for a beautifnl little park of twenty acres nt this important tmming-poiat of the great drivewny around the ecity. It is snderstood, . however, that not much will be done towards ornamenting it till the remainder of the ground is sscured nlongthe ‘ine of Western avenue north to the canal. Most of the owners between Tifiy-ffth street (Pavil- ion parkway) and Egan avenue, noar the Bright- sn House, bove seitled with the Commissioners, nd they wonld like to g0 on immediately with the improvement, but owners batween tho Lrighton House and the canal still holdoff, to their owngreat disadvantage and that of the public. An effort, we learn,is to be made this week to get ameeting of them with the Commis- sioners, and it is hoped eome equitable ad- jastment ecan be made. . Mr. Wentworth, Mesars, McCaffrey and Ma-rs and a few others, wro the principal owners. They certainly eaunot 1Tord fo stand in the way of 80 valuable an im- provement in that section of the city—now tho nearost tothe focus of business, where chesp lotscanbs had for homes for our ring elagses. Tte setting azide by the Court of tho ini tous verdict of the jury against the Commission- ers for the 80-acre tract 8. miles routh of the sity, was received with sreat pleasure by all our haz-payers. The ring-masters setup their job eatirely too bigh. For swamp lands, £5,700 per wcre was s figure ‘which nobody outside of the ring could justify. It was fiveif not six times more than the land was worth for any purpose whatever. T e — CHEAP FARES. THE CRIOAGO, DANVILLE & VINCENNES BAILWAY, in arder to reach the city, agreed with a consid- erable number of properiy-owners over whose lande the road passes, to run one or more ac- tommodation trains to Blae Island for 5 cents a8 the passenger fare to and from that important sabarb. The contract is carefully drawn, and- the lnads are to bo forfeited it the Company [ails to folfill its agreement. Thae Company just pow is having a rough time in the courts, but it s understood that all mattors can be adjusied and the train be put on before the ist of Juve. For a year, perhaps. the fare may bo too low; but inthe end it will greatly beuefit . the O ompaay, for. its entirs line betweon the city and Blue Island will soon be densely populated. The interest on what their right-of-way would have cost them will doubt- less more than compensate the Company for any carly loszes they may sustain within a year or so after the train is put on. If the managementof the Cincinnati & St. Lonis (Pan-Handle) Road would do the szme thing they could in three years sottle the entire district, cartainly batween the city and Weshing- ton Heights. Boston has tried this experiment with great success. Taese are the facts as etnered from the report of the Massachusetts ilroad Commission : y Since 1873 workingmen's trains " have been run o the Sangus Branch of the Eastern Railroad, which connects Boston and Lynn. The cheap trains leave Lynn at5:35 e m, and Boston at 6:35 p. m. The fare 18 6 cents the whole distance or xny part of it. Tickets aro sold in sets of twenty, Ko money !s by conductors, In 1573 these trains carried 18 engers, The reccipts were $,350.f0. In IS4 the Jaazengers wers 905630, 1 the Teceipts wero $13.525. trip coat an_average of $15.14, and paid an aver- ageof $19.23. Tho aversge profit. per trip was tharo- fore $5.14. This profi was mot offset by losses o the frains, The increcse of business on them wae 23er cant lust year. The increase on the cheap trains s 42 per ocnt. The rafiroad has of course gaived, in addition to thif, an indefinitely large Lusineas from . the increased population of the suburbs through ‘wrich the workingmen's trains run. gl SALES OF THE WEEK.

The market the past week has been rather dull. Parties engaged in building euterprises, and those Whose necesaities compel them to bor- 10w, are the only appiicants. New and speonla- tive enterprises are at & low ebp, and atthe ‘present time the principal business is to-clear oft old incumbrances ‘and to get out of dobt as fast as possitle. Under these circumstances capi- tatists are troabled to find a legitimate outlet for their_sarplus fands.

VIEWS OF A CORRESPONDENT, To ths Bdtor of The Chicago Tribune: CuxcaGo, April 2¢.—For more than & genera- tion I have beou familiar with the life in Chica- o, that had grown from village to fown and city lfe. It is a rare thiog in human existence tolive and experience what a generation has brought forth i Chicago. I pastured Yoy cow on the prairie between AMadison and Twelfth ‘streets, and bmlt the third wooden dwelling that exood on the school block where THE TnInUSE Bailding now is. Yet Chicago, like the church down in Vermont, has grown uatilit is fall ; and with others of the old settlersIhave been crowd- d over the brim and outupon itsborders. Ihave talen up with suburban life. I am beginging asort of new existence. It may be an experi- ence as unique ad the bhirty years) life within the city. As Ibegin it I am anxious to note down my experiencé and put it upon record, that Imay profitby it in the future; and perhaps some others may take hint or heart and improve from my mistakes or expectations. I should tike to soe the legitimate expansion of my own notions, as I begin this suburban iife. 1 find myself planted on & flat prairie, 2nd on that kind of soil that was considersd whon I first settled in Chicago & swamp, or a marsh, al- ‘most unfit for cultivation, and certainly such ground as never conld ba msed for the habita- tions of men. It might do for beavers or rats, ‘We generally then considered that Chicago was surrounded by an area of mud that must be jumped over in the process of settlement. We never expécted Chicago to be fall; but when it had grown large enough, after'some generations, for its dwellers to seek counwry ' life, population would spread out morth and south onthe lske shore, and lenp overto the high, rolling prairie beyond the Desplaines. But I find myself in a suburban town on this flat prairie. Novw, this must be so, if we are to bave suburban sites anywhere within a distauce that is possible in which 0 have such towna. As in the era of commercial civilizution, we have learned now to build a grest city on the Slongh of Despund, 50 we must learn how to maxe pleasant hothes for the convenienca of city life, whero oncs frogs sported and rushes grew. I find there is sufficient elevation to the ground on which 1 have bullt my house. But the whole village is also elovated alike. Wae are really all on high ground, for tho rains ffom our suhmer sBhowers go out {0 ‘the upper waters of the Mississippi ‘or the lakes, to flow down over the surface of a cootinent to the level of the ocean. _Bat, unfortunately, we sreon o flat, and are doficient in the most im- portant of all variety, namely, & sarface undula- tion. - Thers is a sailicicat incline of ths ground to the water-lovel of the *lake and rivers 1o make dry ground all about ths region oJ Chica- g0, if the water could bs gotlen away in a rea- sonable time. Itlies upon the ground to satu- rate and make the soil 1nto & sponge to hold tha moistare indefinitely ; or, if finally dried out in & senson of extreme drought, to leave the ground beked snd crackea like underdone earthenwars, What is wanted to maike the suburban sur- roundings of Chicago dry and pleasant is undu- lation. Thua is proved by the natucal prairie. Very slightly rolling is -sufoient to make rhe tand dry. The water will run into the low places which form the patural sloughs ; the balanca is dry, suitable for any kind of 'cultivation, sad pleasant 28 & lawn or park. Now, on my little domain of a single block, -which lnst fail I took possession of as a plat, I am trying to carry ont B single experiment which, I thivk, will go-far t0 remedy the great defeets of onr subnrban villsges. My first con- test is for tho sunihllation of the mud. I ex- pect to get up my own littie premises a few feet sbove the general level by potting the water sur- face farther down. all my neighbors did the samo thing wo shouid have s bigh rolling prairie of our whole town plat. We are 20 feet abcve the line of the water course, and that op an average i8 not more than half a mile distant. Let every neighbor scrape and build over against himll;l.f.k‘I%m r:li‘,ming tg:lavel of the edge of my block, sidewalk, and street, and carrying the earth on & alightly-inclined line 3 the cantre of the block. Tius will produce in a single season @ dry ridge that will find a drain- age of its own. The water will Bow off - more freely, and the lower level of the road and walks b no more muddy than theaverage sarface has been, and that will gradually improve every season, for the water has fourd a freer outlet, and the gutters will gat sodded over as the sloughs oaturally form them- selves into a perpetual water-course that never noeds repairing. 1am presuming that many of our stroets will seldom be Bubject.to much trav- el, and that we know how to plauk or gravel oar walks and carmage-ways, 80 s to keep our foot and wheels out of the mud. We want to turn our whole village plat into a pablic park, and we must do it at the least possible expense. UzBaxus. —_—— NEW YORK REAL ESTATE. A SIGNIFICANT CHANUE. Tho sale of the Rev. Joha Hall's church in New Tork, at the corner of Fifth avenue and One Hundred and Nineteenth street, for$240,- 000, 8 figure much below what was supposed to be its value, calls attention to a remarkable change which has taken place in the aspect of Fifth avenne between Fourteanth and Twenty- sovenith sireots and on Fonrieenth strect be- tween University place snd Fifth aveaus, The tailor shopa and piano stores were first to pio- pecr the way. Then followed the restacrants and stores. Between sll thess and tha apart- ment honses, clubs, and notels, the thirteon blocks we have mentioned on Fifthavenue hava lost their old appearance almost entiraly, the re- maining residences—some of them. among. the finest in the city, such as those of Marshall O. Roberts, August Belmont, and R, L. Siuart—are beginning to look Ionely amidss their new sur- mxmdin}fia.

Tho narrowness and cangested con- dition of Broadway, betwzen Union and Madison Bquares, will tend to inerease the current of trade that has been sweeping around to and up the avenue, through Fo stroct. . It i8 mob unlikely that all the blocks botween the two squares and Broadway and Fifth svenue will be covered with handsome and massive commerdial structures and will becomo extremely valuable. .

He says bons fido investors are disturbed, frightened, and induced to scll on terms by which thoy are uearly Tuined, and gives s number of figures to prove that tho 1ine is ot €0 bad 28 these publications assert. Proba~ bly Lo is right. Tno winter hns been avory bad one for Erie, thero no _doubt; but - by Iatest nccounts | traffic has been recovering, and working expenses have beem 50 reduded that the line may faixly be held to be better of than it was somo time 2go.

RECEIVERS FOR INBOLVENT NATIONAL BANKS, The scandalous resultsof the yoluntary Hquidation of the Manufacturers’ National Bank of this city have evoked considerable discussion of the defects in tho Natfonal Banking act, which renders such things pos- sible, Comptroller Knox sends tho New York Daily Dulletin the following extract from a bill authorized to be Teported by tho Bank Committse of tho last Con- gress, and intended to cure this defect in the law, The following 18 the section of the Bank Committeo bill to which the Comptroller alludes : . 8go, 9, That whonovar any sasoelation shall be dis- Bolved, and ita rights, privileges and franchises de- clared forfoited, as prescribed in Sec. 5,239 of said stat- utes, or whenever any creditor of any such sssociation shall havo obtained o judgment againat it,and execution thereon shall have been roturncd unsatisfied, the Cowptroller of the Currency may, on the application of such judgment-creditor, accompanied by a_certafi- cate from the Clerk of the court in_which such jud ment may have been rendered, stating that such judg. ment has been rendered, and execution thereon has ‘een issued ond returned mnsatisfied, appoint & Re. i procaed to cloes up sitch asociation, and enforce the personal liability of the shareholders, 88 provided in Sec, 5,234 of said statutes, The Dullettn thinks that this clause, if bdopted, would undoubtedly hate given the creditors of an in- solvent bank a remedly ‘through the Banking Depart- ment, “Batthe thing needed is thet it shall be im- poseibls for an insolvent bank to undertake its own liguidation simply at its own option. The law should provide that, when s bank proposes to go into liquida-~ Hon, the Comptroller of the Carrency shail instituta a0 examination into its affairs, and upon such ex- amination determine whether, in the interests of its ind.llom, the bank chall be lignidated unders Be- eiver, or may be safely allowsd towind up its own af- faira,” .
