Each apartment on the first floor is entered from tho street by a private entrance from the court. The apartments average eleven rooms each, and aro well lighted, the size of the interior court ioruring this tresult.

CONTINUOUS DULLNESS. 5 ‘When the real-estate market is in the condi- tion it has exhibited in the last two weeks, there is litte call for comment. This season ia not usnaliy one of activity, and in a year of financial and commercial quietit is still less likely to show Soy signs of movement. In a city of the diman- eions and energy of Chicago there will always be transactions in real estate for cash and ex- change. This normal activity is now a2 satisfactory as conld be desired. Property in being exchanged for other property; real estate that is needed for improvement is porcbased at fair prices ; lots offered at attrac. tive prices by those who wish torealize are taken up by capitalists ; there is = moderate, healthy, subdued business in realty. Beyond this, there is nothing to mention. The speoulative liveli- . pees that the agents would like to see does not exist, and itis just as well forthe city that it should not exist, unttl it comes with substantial prosperity in business and enterprise genorally, One of the largest transactions of the week the purcnase by Jake Rehm of the Hall property on Randolph street, between Wella and Franklin streets.

EYFECT OF CAPROVEMENTS IN BUILDING. ‘There bas been a fair amount of business dono the past week, in the way of building toans, al- though the demand has not been up to the ay- erage of the previous weeks. Ogdon avenue, between Washington and Randolph streets, has met with unusual favors, anda view of that lo- cality in its present condition is sufficient to convince any disinterested observer of the actiy- ity of loans for the purposes of improvement. Tho rates of interest are unchanged. The abstract question bas not troubled our loan agents to the extent that was expected, though they are free to confess that, if the coun- ty pushes its righta to the farthest ‘limits, thera will be no small amouut of trouble in the way of effecting loans and transferring property.

The subject of chesper railroad fares to the suburbs, to which Taz Tnimvse was among the first to.call attention, is exciting a great desl of interest among the people. Massachusetts and California railroads have tried the experiment of cheap commutation rates to the suburbs of Boston and San Francis- co, and found it to their profit. We have sey- eral times given the facts with regard to these moremonts, and need not repeat them. In turn- ing tothe rates charged by Chicago roads, the firet snd last thing noticeable about them is their exorbitance. Tho Illinois Central charges 10 cents to carry casual passengers any distance within the city limits, and the Michigan Contral charges 25 cents, in accordance with its con- tract with the Illinois Central.

Also, to havo trains both ways at 11 to 12 each night to furnieb amucement or friendly visits. Also, to have full so- commodations for church services on Sunday, both morning and evening, It is far less desecration of the ‘Sabbath to select some three or four men alternately to carry 500 people to church than to employ 2:0 horses and as many drivers for the same purpose. ‘A wise policy would also bo for those roads which ran out to our parks, or to some quiet shady groves, toasrrange trains that would enable the wives au children of poorer people to take the fresh str all of an afternoon, returning home before the evening be- came chiily, The South Park willsoon haves splendid lake view ready enjoyment near South Park Station, The Llinois Central could well afford to carry 6,000 people there of an afternoon at & cents esch, and, if they would make the offer, there would soon'be that number to accept it.

San Francisco stands aghast at the audecions stock operations of one Charles Kuchel, a youth of 19, without capital or available means of hisown, The Chronicle says: ‘ This ad- venturous and enterprising youth, a mere broker's clerk, with no capital except bis native audacity and craft, actually rivals in the magui- tude of bis stock transactions the veteran mill- ionaires who are popularly sapposad to control the market, make corners, and send stock up or down according to their pleasure. His opera- tions, thus far ascertained, during the first two weeks of last January, amounted to $157,000, while during the months of May and Juno they figured up to the incredible sum of $840,000. His tranaactions from the beginning of the year to the 2st of July amounted to over $1,100,000. But these figures, stunning as they may seem, only cover his sales and purchases through two brokers. He is known to have also operated through others, and the full oxtent of his stock dealings has not vet been ascer- tained. While carrying on businesson this mag- nificent scale, ho drove high-spirited trotters on 5 |*tho Cliff road, and is said to have. been the own- erofno lersthan three dashing double teams. He was gorgeously appareled, fared sumptuously every day, and had the best of everything going that could be obtained for money. There was nothing niggardly about this precocious prodi- gal. If he lavished his money freely, it was not all expended upon himself and his’ individual Pleasurss. Oniy a few weeks ago, he sent his mother and sister off upon a European tour, and bis main solicitude when arrested seemed to be lest they should hear of bis disgrace. The fact that the boy was able to continue such a career so long undetected, using the stocks and the credit of his emplovers on auch an extensive scale, seems inexplicable, The defrauded brok- er, when « friend applied to him asking the sita- ation mado vacant by Kuchel’s detection for an- other youth, made anewer: “If you have a boy you care anything about, set him at anything but the stock trade. “Put him into a gembiin: din it you likb, tet him to dealing faro, but don't make Beles clerk oe him. an real gambling will ess trying to his morals than i- fornia street imitation." teaibaie Cale Oe x Sixth Ventur.

Unbroken Quiet Still the Character- istic of Financial Circles.

There was nothing new in finsncis. affairs, The transactions of yesterday were but re - .'tions of those of the day before in kind andamount, The supply of Toanable funds continues in excess of the require- ments of borrowers. There is still some lumber pa- per msde by parties who are taking advantage of the Present exceptionally low prices to increase their stocks. Collections are complained of fully as much as they have heen, Mercantile applications for loans of the banks are not as pressing ss they have been. ‘The Board of Trade operators have reduced their de- mands. It will be seen from these facts that the aitu- ation is an unusually quiet one in all directions. Rates of discount at the banks were tnchanged. Regular customers are charged 8@10 per cent, while to good outside borrowers who seldom appear terms are made better by severs! per cent on short-time paper, On the street} the note-brokers find itttle good nego- table paper to deal in,. Rates are 6618 per cent, New York exchange was par to 25c premium between banks for $1,000. ‘The movoment of currency to the country was light, ‘The clearings Saturday were $3,095,113,24; for the ‘week they were $20,857,463.31, against $21,715,644,63 for the corresponding week of Iast year. CONDITION OF THE NATIONAL, BANKS, Bince the passage of the act of June 20, 1874, which abolished the reserves against circulation, and the sct of Jan, 14, 1875, which removed all restrictions on the yolume of National Bank notes, there have been some noticeable and {mportant changes in the condition of the NationsI Banks, Tho number of banks has in- creased from 1,983 to 2,076, and the aggregate capital from $491,000,000 to $501,500,000, This is less than the average growth before Juns, 1873, which for three years was about $21,000,000 a year, While the capital bas increased, the circulation has boon reduced by $20,400,000, The circulation of the banks hes adopted itself tothe diminished ro- quirements of business naturally ana without dis- turbing any interest, ‘The banks have taken no advantage of the remission of reserves against circulation, as is ehown by the fact that they now hold $3,500,000 more legal-tendera than, a year ago. Following is an abstract of reports made to the Comptroller of the Currency, showing the condition of the National Banks in the United States at the close of businees on Wednesday, the 30th day of June, 1375, compared with the returns of June 26, 1874: RESOURCES, June 30,775.

The last-named fact was dus to 8 sudden atmospheric chill, with threat- enings of rain by the clouds if not by “Old Probabili- tet, The temperature here was quite low, and sd- ‘vices from the country indicated that the cold wave was pretty comprehensive, This gave a set-back to trading, especially as the tone of forciga advices gave no encouragement to buyers, New York was firmon grain, but that was understood to be only temporary, on secount of the break in the canal. A good deal of the grain detained by fhat accident was sold to arrive, and it is necessary to buy in some cases to fill the blank. ‘There was very little doing here for shipment, and Iako fretghts were again very dullin the absence of demand for freight room, The receipta cf new grain are on tie incresse, : In dry goods circles there is gradually increasing activity, and « consequent hardening of prices. The attendance of country merchants is not numerous a Sot, butthe numb.- is daily growing, and theex- pectations of our jobbers, that the acason upon which they are now jast ontering will prove an active and Prosperous one, there is every reason 10 believe will be realized. Groceries were distributed with conaider- able freedom to the local and interior trade, and, with the exception of engars, which were again unaettled and woak, the tone of the market, both for ataple and aide articles, was fairly firm, Coffees and teas were strong, The butter and cheese market was essentially unchanged. Dried fruits remain as previously quoted, except a stnall decline in Iayer and loose fns- catel raisins, Fish sold freely at former prices, In the bagging, leather, coal, and wood markets there wore no important changes, Oils remain unchanged. The tobacco market was reported fairly active and strong, ‘Teas seem to be tending upward. The cattle market was active and unchsnged. Com- mon and medium grades remain weak, while good to choice were firm. Sales of Texas cattle were at $2.50 @3.75, and of inferior to extra natives at $2.50@6.70, Hoga were in light supply, but the demand was lim~ ited, and sales dragged at Friday's prices, The bulk of the trading was at $7.50@7.95 for bacon grades, and at $7.60G7.80 for heary weights, Sheep were in light demand at $3.60@4.50 for common to choice, Lake freights were dull and nominal at 2c for corn to Baffalo, Highwines were quiet and stesdy at $1.193¢ per gallon. ‘The reteil Iumber dealers again reported s fatr bust- neas at the current prices, Another dull day was past atthe docks, The offerings wore heavy, and aside from the fact that many dealers are filled up, few cared to take hold on the last day of the week, Prices for all grades were weak. Iron, steel, and nails were in limited demand at former prices. ‘Wood continuss to move slowly and only in answer to small orders fron manufacturers, Prices were easy, but not quotably lower, Broom-corn continues firm, under an improved demand, moderate supply, and poor crop prospects, Timothy seed was more active, and choice Old seed was quoted higher, under moderate offerings, Other seeds were quiet, Hay was in large supply and more active, Green fruits were in fair request, ex- copt berries, for which there was leas inqniry, aa buy- ers preferred other fruit, Poultry waa steadier, under amaller offerings. ‘The following extract from s Belfast (Ireland) letter dated Aug. 1, is rather late, but it explaina the recent astitude of buyers in Enrope : No new feature in the crop Ine has presented itself during the past week. Oats, potatoes, turnips, and barley still promise great abundance,and will immense- ly exceed the deficiency that exists in same degree in wheat, Taking crops altogether, our farmers are “in ae caso" this. year,—unusually good, I should say, wo bave a dry harvest-time. ‘|THE LARD CONUNDBUK.” ‘Under this head the Datly Commercial Report of Saturday gives an array of figures which still further ~fhe yacht race, there was very Little trading in jower 3169 Rs.
