THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, ~ SEPTEMBER 12, 1875.-SIXTEEN PAGES. “REAL ESTATE. - Wortblessness of the Abstract-Books Purchased by the County Ring, Why the Transaction Is Regarded with Grave Suspicion by Our Business Men, tho Lean Market Improving, but Still Dall —Undiminished Activity in Building, =” Sffect of the California Bank Failure on San Francisco Real Estate. THE ABSTRACT SWINDLE. WOAT THE REAL ESTATE DEALERS AND LOAN AGENTS THINE OF IT. _ The resl estate mon and loan agents aro in- Aignant over the freud practiced upon the pub- lic by the County Commissioners in purchasing the abstract-books of Wilmans & Thielcke. "These books are practically worthless for any questions of title arieing before the fire. It is matter cf general knowledge that the records thse firm had before tbe fire—and they were imperfect then— were destroyed at the time. As for records since the fire the county already has them in tho Recorder's office. The reputable real-estate deaters and Joan sgents of tha city do not hesi- tate toeay that they would not cell, nor buy, norloan,on abstracts of title made up from these books. ‘We would sooner go ont of the poéineas than dogo,” was the comment of one of our best firms. It isimpossible to explain to the uninitiated public the defects of these books. Experienced searchers of title state that vir- taally they cannot be used. Cases can be cited where abstracts of title made from them and pretending to ran back of the fire were found to be fictitious, if not fraudulent. Loan agents will not accept abstracts from that source, br even continastions of abstracts. Wilmans & Thicleke's books do not even pretend to contain records of judgments. The indexcs are simply to “document numbers,” and references are frequently made by whole subdivisions. If the books were good, their transfer to the Recorder's office would render them about valueless. ‘The administration of this office is most cgrelesa. and its papers are incomplete and inaourate, Afan abstract firm like Handy, Simmons & Co. joakes a mistake itis responsible in damages. There is no such recourse against the county. 1 It is & grest pity that measures were not faken after the fire to prevent the mon- copoly of the abstract business .by pur- chasing one set of tho books that could have been had before the consolidation of the three firms into Handy, Simmons & Co. ‘That chance was allowed to slip, through the Jethargy of the officials of the county, and the present County Commissioners propose to pass from that blunder to acrime. They have pur- zhased for 245,000 abstract-books that are not worth as many hundreds. The belief of oar business mea is tuat the operation is a steal, pore and simple, aud the opivion ig openly expressed by many that Commission- ers share in the “divide.” There 18 nothing jn the circumstauces of the case or the character of many of the Commissioners to contradict this general belief. It-is not too late to stop the game, and itisto be hoped thst some public- Rpirited tax-payer or the Citizens’ Associauon will secure an injunction from the Courts to pre- ‘Yent the payment of the money.

E. A. Rice is about to build a block of twelvo residences on Flournoy street, just west of Western avenue. Levi Wing & Co. are putting up o block of thirty houses on Fremont and Burling streets, west of Lincoln Park. Theso houses have no basements, and are arranged with the parlor, dining-room, and kitchen on the main floor. The activity is greatest inthe South Division of the city. Within half a mile of the Univer- sity folly a hundred houses can be seen in prog- ress. Fifty new honses are going up in Cole- hour’s addition, between One Hundred ond Third and One Hundred and Sixth streets, most- ly along the aew Indiana boulevard. Messrs. Burling & Adler have completed tho plan for a block of eight beautifnl marbie-froot houses, worth $4,000 each, to be erected by Da- meier & Elder on the purchase made by them this week on Schiller street, at the corner of Clark street. BUILDING PERMITS. Permits were issued during the week for 85 buildings. The majority of these are resi- dences, and some of them will be equal in ole- ganco 2nd completeness to any now in the city.

"The San Francisco Real Estate Record tor Sep- tember shows that 378 real estate sales were made in that city and county in August, of tho yaluo of $3,244,792. Of these sales some ten were only transfers to secure dobt, arising from the disastrous financial events of the past week. On the subject of realestate and prospects the Circular says: ‘Tho real estate sales effected in August were much larger than those of the previous month. Uutil the ate of the failure of the Bank ot Cuiifornia (Aug. 96) there was much more inquiry for property, and. many more sales were msde in July, Prices wero very firm, and every indication betokened increasing activity and an advance of prices, Of course the failure of the bank named, the developments connect- ed with that failure, the run on the other banks, and temporary unsettlement of confidence, with all tend to restrict sales until business resumes its accustomed channola ; but the events of the past woek will have an immense effect in incressing confidence in real estste investments. Saonld industrial depression for = few months succeed the great industrial activity which has prevailed here, the very lively resl-state market anticipated this 'fail“and winter may not be experience ; but, even in this event, outside real- estate will more than hold its own, because of the anxiety which will be manifested to hold stable securi-- tes, while, af course, good inside property will con- tinue to adranco, as wa know it did doring all the three yesra’ depression and drought succeeding the wild inflation of 1868-9, Let it now be remembered that ‘we have had no Jniation im the price of any kind of roperty within the wo years, Extravagant Fries were paid for not more than 100 of the thow- fands of pieces of property sold during that time, and these price were paid in nearly every case by stock gamblers, who, having made their money easy, could afford to pay almost any price asked, RAPID TRANSIT IN NEW YORE. The Commission appointed by M. ham, under the Husted bill, to i transit routes, has made its report, and it nsa been accepted by the Common Council. Tho Commission have laid out four main lines be- tween the Battery and the upper endof the island. One route is along Greenwich street and Ninth avenue, aod is the present Greenwich Street Road, which, erected and in operation as far as Thirtieth street, has demonstrated the feasibility of rapid transit. Another route is on Sixth avenue, South Fifth avenue, West Broad- way & Church Street Lino, and 16 the weat side route covered by the Gilbert charter, which, having been granted before the paa- ago of the constitutions! amendments, requires either the consent of the Common Council nor that of the property-own- era, Atbird route is trom the Battery to Har- lem vis Bowery and Third avenue. ‘This line. as wall as the connection between the Brooklyn bridge and the Battery, is also on the route of the Gilbert charter, and, like the Sixth avenue live, requires no ‘confirmation. The Third avenne route and 2 few of the connections with depots and ferrigs:are not covered by Geexions charters. These ‘will be known as * Commis- sioners’ routes,”*in contradistinction to *.char- tered ” routes: “Ihe most easterly route is along First avenue to East ‘hirty-fourth street, and thence along Second avenue, ‘THE NOISELESS PANIC IN NEW YORK. Thq New York Herald, in an interesting arti- cle out ‘the noiseless panic in real estate,” states that there have not beeu in that city since 1866 20 many foreclosure sales as now. In the following year (1867) began the heavy invest- ments and speculation in up-own property in expectation of the effect of the Central Park and Boulevard improvements, and for tive years, or until 1872, prices ran up, up, up far beyond actaal values. The grest improvements shown oo paper vever came, and as a result reaction took plueey and foreclosures became the order of the Fe Prices began. falling amay to the old dard, until now there are no offeri: tide of these forced ones. seer se ‘The facecloaure suite ingdtuted this year are largely | in excess of previous years, perhaps 30 per cent more, y of these suits are instituted to compel default era to pay the interest merely, and are never forced to the hammer owing to tho intereat being unpaid, Of- feral returns show that the suite instituted in New York and Brooklyn during the past five weeks are as follows: .

Pall-Matl Gazette. Nothing but ridicule could have attended any attempt on the part of the Prince of Wales to rival the Mohammedan rulers of India in ostenta- tion and magnificence. In the matter of pres- ents alone his utmost munificence would have been surpassed by asingle act of favor display- ed by one of the former Monarchs of Hindostan. Yor stance, Jehan Gheer bestowed upon his gon, whon setting out to take command of the army in the Deccan, ‘“‘aaword, the scabbard of which was of gald set with stones valued at 100,- 000 rupees (£10,000)s dagger at £4,000, an olephant and two horses, all their furniture of gold sot with stones,” anda Btate carriage built in imftation of one sent out tothe Emperor by King James. On his birthday Jehan Gheer was so richly adorned with jewels that Sir Thomas Roe protests that in all his life he “never saw such inestimable wealth together.” “The time,” he continues, “ was spent in bring- ing his greatest elephants before him, some of which, boing lord elephants, had the chains, bells, and furniture of gold and silver, with many gilt bannors and flage carried about them, and eight or ten elephants waiting on each of them, clothed in gold, silk, and silver. In this manner about twolve companies passed by, most richly adorned, the first having allthe plates on his head and breast set with rubies and emeralds, being a beast of wonderful dolkand beauty. They all bowed down before the King, making their reverence very handsomely.” Qn one occa- sion, when tho King honored his Minister with his company at dinner, the road was covered for a whole mile with silks and velvets sewed to- gether, and the cost of the banquet was estimat- ed at £60,000. Onhis birthday Jehan Gheer was weighed againet seven kinds of commodities, such asrupees, cloth of gold, silks, caitcoes, spices, honey and butter, which were afterward @etributed among the poor. ‘The scales were of beaten gold, set with small stones, rabies and turquoises ; they hnng by chains of gold, and for moro surety there were silkropes. The beam was covered with plates of gold. The great lords of the nation set about the throne on rich carpets, expecting the King's coming ont, At length ho peared: covered with diamonds, ru- Dies, and pearls. He had soveral strings of then about hia neck, arms, wrists, and turban, and two or threo rings on avory finger. His sword, buck- ler, and thorne were also covered with precious stones. Among tho rest I saw rubies a3 big au walnnts, and peeris of a prodigious magnitude. He got into one of the scales, sitting on his legs like a tailor.” ‘After all, the Royal gifts were not, in general, very costly, When the weighing was over, ba- sins fall of silver almonds, nuts, and other fruits were placed before the King, who threw them about in handfuls, while his nobles scrambled for thom. Observing that Sir Thomas Roe would not stoop to such meanness, Jehan Gheer took up a basin that was nearly full and poured it into his cloak. The courtiers, however, ‘‘had the impudencs to thrust in their hands so greedi- ly” that the worthy Knight had some trouble to rescue these proofs of the Royal favor trom their rapacity. He had been told beforehand that the King would scatter fruits molded in massive gold, but to his disgust he discovered that they consisted of very thin silver, » thousand of them barely weighing £20. Nevertheless, ‘‘I payed," he says, the value of tea or trolve crowns, and these would have filled a large dish. I keep them to show the vanity of these people, Ido not believe that the King that day throw away much above the value of £100. Bernier, indeed, eays that, although India was an abyss that swallowed up the gold and silver of other lande, he did not regard the Mogul as being ex- traordinary rich. Shah Jehan, for example, af- ter exercising commendable thrift for the space of forty years, left only 6,000,000 in the trens- ary, without taking into account, however, the precious stones, of which he confesses there was great store. The value of the throne slone he reckoned at 3,000,000, being covered with the spoils of Patans and Rajpoots, and the voluntary offerings of tributary Princes, Governors, and nobles. At times the munificence of the Delhi Emperors savored of reckless extravagance. A anger, having delighted the Royal ears, wns re- warded with his ownf weight in silver coin, amount- ing to 6,300 rupees, and with an elephant to carry his treasure to his house: The famous Noorme- hal, having shot four tigers with a matchlock from the back of an elephant, was presented by the enamorecaJehan Gheer with a pair of emer- ald bracelota, valued at £10,000, while 1,000 rupees wore distributed in charity. The Great Akbar surpassed both his lecessors and successors in personal wealth. Accordin; to Ferishto, that illustrious potontate numbers among his possessions coined silver computed st 100,060,000 of rupees; choice rubies, 1 maund, or 80 pound weight ; common rubies and other precious stones,.10’ maunds; uncoined gold, 70 maunds; uncoined silver, 160 mounds; copper pice, 50,000,000,000 (four pice—13¢d) ; elophante, above 6,000; horses, 12,000; deer, 6,000; hunt- ing leopards, over 600; and hawke,500, it is re- cords2, probably with considerabie exagyera- tion, that Akbar’s treasury contained £90,000,000 in silver coin and gems of price, and that on one occasion he filled atank near Futtehpur Sikri with 9 crores of rapeez, equivalent to £9,000,000, me were afterward distributed among tho needy. Shooting Niagara. In September, 1829, the owner of the schooner Michigan, the largest and rottenest craft on Lake Erte, bit upon s plan to get it off his bsnas, and st tho same time notlose a cent. Ho induced the proprietors of hotels on both sides of Niagara Fatls to buy the schooner and send it over the falls, counting on the crowds that would be drawn thore to wituess the novel sight for their psy. For several days previous to the great event, the stages and the canal- boats, sud wagons from the country were serowded. Farmers left their fields aud business men their counters. On the appointed day balf a dozen excursion stesmera wore called into ser: vice. Each had its throng of expectant people and band of music. The task of towing the Michigan to the rapide was intrusted to a Capt. Rough and five stout-hearted oarsmen. They fet loose on board a buffalo from the Rocky Mountains, three bears from Green Bay and Grand River, two foxes, a raccoou, a dog, scat, four geese, and put up some effigies. When they cut the tow-line this extraordinary crew did’ what many other crews have done, run from one end of the deck to the other in de- spair. The ship started off majestically and seemed to greet with = smile the high shores on either aide crowned with eager spectators. Sho darted through the firat rapids as true as apy pilot could have led her. Two of the bears here plunged into the yeasty rapids and actually swam toland and were caught. ‘The other set to work climbing the mast. On she went, mak- ing a plunge, ebipping a sea, and rising from it in beautifol style. At ber bowsprit was the American ensign and at her stern tho English jack. In her descent over the aecond rapid her mast ‘went by the board.” She swung round and presented her broadaides to the dashing and foaming waters, and after remaining stationary for Papen’ or two was, by its force, swong round, stern foremost, and having passed to tha third rapid she bilged, but carried her hail ap- parently whole, between Graas Island and the Britiah shore tothe Horseshoe, over which she was carried, stern foremost, and launched into the abyss below, and mashed into a thousand pieces. The cat and dog and the foxes were never heard of more, but the geese, bless their little hearts, were found below on the bank quietly oiling their feathers. The effigy of An- Grew Jackson was also found uninjured,—like the geese,—throwing his arms about and knock- ing his kneos togethor in the eddies. | STATE OF TRADE. Dull Closing of Business in Fi- nancial Circles. Discounts Light-Sew York Exchange Firmer---The Fall Trade. The Produce Markets Strong Yester- day, but Less Active. A Large Premium on Cash Pork, Wheat, and Oorn—Light Shipments, FINANCIAL. There were no new activities in the foan miarkot. ‘The operations of the day were confined to the trans- action of routine busincss and the accommodation of the few borrowers who presented themselves, ‘The offerings of commercisl paper are reported by bankera to be Ught, Merchants who songht a good deal of accommodation while collections ware poor need lees now that the latter have been improved by the flow of currency to the country, Tho fall trade has not reachcd its full development. Thero are of good many buyers in town, but not as many as will come in when colder weather begins, Purchases are made cautiously, Tho evident drift of the policy of country merchants is to buy every sixty or ninely days instead of carrying large stocks. ‘This course will distribute trade evenly throughout the year, instead of concentrating it upon the spring ond fall. All this is to the interest of Chicago, as it makes permanent the diversion of trade to its markets, ‘There is but little grain or lumber paper made. The prices of grain do not make it any object to carry it, and the lumber market is in a depressed condition, Bates of. discount 8@10 per cent to regolar cus- tomers of the banks, Loans on call and short timo are readily made to good outside borrowers at C@3 per cont, The supply of New York exchange is not large, but it isin light demand, and sales are mado at Sic dis- count betw’ .n banks for $1,000. There were a fair number of ordera from the country for currency. ‘The clearings Saturiay were $3,192,905.52; for tho week they were $20,800,931.36, and for the correspond- ing week of last year were £20,626,974.05. ‘The announcement of the failure of the New York banking-house of F, Schuhardt & Son was received with little interest among bankers, Its importance is wholly local to New York, The statement comes from private sources thatthe great manufacturing firm of Knapp, Stout & Co., of Menomonee, Wis,, had obtained an extension from their creditors: THE FALL TRADE. ‘The New York Evening Post of the 7th inst, says: ‘The prospect for the suiumn and winter trade of the country, as centered in the leading branches of business conducted in this city, is at present a matter of conjecture, but the indications are, not only that it is to bo hereafter conducted upon a sound tinancial basis so far aa short credits and ready cash payments can make it, but also that it is to bo largely increased in volume over that of recent years, Nearly all of the managers of our great mercantile houses concur in this opinion, and believe thst tho outlook is favorable for trade upon a sounder financial basis than has been had in this country since the War. HOW TO SHORTEN HAED TIMES. If, on the contrary, the majority should, each man for himself, resolve to lock only or chiefly on the bright side, to increase in ome measure his purchasos during the next year, and generally do whut he can to improve the tone and volume of business, doce any- body question what the effect would be? Suppose that everybody confidently, and with scarcely a doubt, expected really good trade this season, is there any question that the yolume of trade would be greater than it probably will bo? ‘We put these simple questions for their clear sup- portor the propoaition we have steadily urged: that the prolongation and heightened severity cf the de~ pression are largely caused by excessive caution. The failures of this week are cited as a reason why it will not do to take tho risk of purchasing next week; but who can ehow that if the public had felt more confi- dence and made larger purchases ast week these very failures would not hava been averted? The selfieh- ness of @ panic period is often short-sighted ana stupid, It is “save-himsolf-who-can,” and in out the marrow motto there is danger of hurting one’s self. If one man alone should narrow his expenditures, ho would uso a profitable economy; but as every- body else tries it, too, the effect is to hurt all rather than helpone, A man does not expect to go down to his office in the morning with a singlo bound, but he does not refrain from taking the first step until he can take the Jast, and we should like to have this question answered : How is the country to get back to hbard-pan by sitting in dolorous inaction, wondering whether it hae got there and waiting for that result to be reached, or by dong something? The growth of confidence, we hold, is the very thing which is to de- cide how long and how crushingly the contraction process is to last ; and althongh it is quite true thst no feeling of confidence can restore lost wealth and time, to refuse for that reason to try to regain health ‘would be as irrational as for a rich man to refuse food and medicines because the fact of his past nickness and present weakness could not be altered. The financially diseased parts have been mostly sloughed off; the crops are good; the markets sre scantily stocked ; coafdonce is chicfly wanted now, and there ought to bea noticeable improvement this soason,— New York Financier.

New Yon, Sept. 11.—The suspension of Frederick Schachardt & Son, ‘bankers and drawers of sterling on London, had a temporary effect on the Stock Ex- chango and in the gold room, but did not cause those violent perturbations which followed the suspension of Duncan, Sherman & Co, At one time their bills on ‘London sold higher than those of bankers now ranked 8 prime, The house wag originally known under the stylo of Schuchardt & Gebhardt, but was changed after the desth of Mr, Gebhardt. ‘The causo’ of the failure is attributed to advances to railway projects which received a stagger- ing blow in the panic of 1873, The elder Schuchardt is an old-time gentleman of integrity, and to-day thero were general expressions of sympathy for him and other members of the firm, Gold opened’at 116%, and closed at 116%, the ex- tremes of the day having been 117@1i6%. The afternoon dealings were principally at 116%@116%- Rates paid for borrowing were i, $-16, 3-32, 1-16, 3-64, 1-64, and 1-32 per cent per diem.

Thirdly, the receipts of grain wero small, in consequence of recent storms, which fact formed an offset to a light demand for ship- ment, A good many operators seemed afraid to trade in making new desis, and most of the business trans- acted was in the settlement of old ones, Frices tended upward, however, on most articles, chiefly on a little pressure to buy far September to filtahorts. Theslow movement, following a rather lengthened period of slowness in tho movement of produce, suggested to msny the question, what kind of on autumn trade wo aro likely tohave, It now lacks only seven weeks to the close of the “regular” season of lake navigation, and it would seem as if a very large busi- ness will have tobe crowded into that brief period. It ia truo that European buyers are not particularly anxious to take hold of our bresdstuffs now, but the Eastern States must have their winter's supply, snd the present low rates of lake freights form a powerful inducement to layin a large part of those supplies now, as it is barely within the limits of possibility that they will be kept much longer at the present depressed point, Buyers seem to hope, however, that the in- crease in deliveries from the country will best down prices here more than enough to compensate any probable rise in freight rates. There is comparatively little grain moving forward, except corn, and that ap- pears to be forwarded by local operators, on their own account, not on Eastern orders. There was little that is new to note in the domestic ary goods market, For the closing dsy of the week the amount of business accomplished was satisfactorily large, and in other respects also the course of thé mar- ket was such as to give Uttle cause for complaiat, Groceries were moving ona liberal soale. The past two or three days have witnessed an increased attend- ance of buyers, and there is also a growing ;** mail- order” business, and our leading houses appear to have about all they can comfortably attend to. Sugars were stronger than at the beginning of the week, re- fined grades being held 3c higher. Coffees were easier, and an early decline is among the probabilities. -Rice also is weak, Sirups, molasses, spices, soaps, and teas were steadily held. Inthe position of the butter market there was no noticeable change, ‘There is still an tnsdequate supply-of desirable table grades, snd the feeling among holdera is ungualifiedly frm. Cheese continues quiet, with prices leaning in buyers'favor. At present there is no margin be- tween here and the seaboard, and ss the wants of tne local and interior trade are not_sufficient to absorb the current receipta the feeling is somewhat depressxd. Prices of dried fruit were without quotable change. ‘The movement in domestic varieties wos restricted by the too firm views of holders, Fish remain dull, Tha bagging, leather, wood and coal markets were destitute of new features, . Oils were in demand at former quo- tations, . ‘The cattle trade was moderately active, and values were firm and unchanged, The supply was less than 2,000 head, about all of which were taken at substan- tinlly Friday's quotations; natives at $2.50@6.75, and throngh Tezans at $2.59@3.75. Hogs were firm and steady. Only a limited demand existed at $7.25@7.85 for poor to good heavy weights ; and at $7.40@7.70 for common to prime Ught, The receipts were atout 3,000, Sheep were in feir request at full rates, or 2t $3.50@4.75 for common to choice; Lake freights were qziet and steady at 240 forcorn to Buffalo, High- wines were dull and nominally easier at $1.17 ances iy ler at $1.17 per “There were few new features in lumber. The offer- ings at the docks were larger, and most of the fleet was left aver, as few dealers cared to commence operations on the last day of tho week, The yard business con- tines good, both the local and country orders being numorous, and prices are tolerably stesdy. The de- mand for iron andasteel is fair, aud the general market is steadier, in consequence of » firmer fecling among manufacturers, due to the recent advance in pig-fron. Nails were quoted at $9.25, with a amall discount for largo lots, Broom-corn, hops, hides, and wool were quiet, Seeds wero in moderate demand, timothy rul- ing steady under only fair offerings, Green fruits were in liberal supply and fair request, especially peaches, which are usually preferred to other fruit, and price for ail kinds were easy, but not quotapiy lower, Vegetables wero unsalable on tho street. Poultry was firm, and eggs atesdy. PROVISIONS.

Nevertheless a few expall lots of new were on the market, and new flours were quoted weak, Sales wore reported of 450 bris winters, partly at $6.00; 300 bris spring extras at $5,874 @6.30;” and 100 bris rye-flour at $4.75.

Tho premium of Friday was not ma- tarislly widened, however, os there was some ap- prehensions as ‘to the possibility of filling Octo- ber sales of the same grade, and that option ruled firm, averaging about the same as the closing quo- tation of Friday, which was ic above the closing price at the regular session of that day.

Liverpool was unchanged, and New York was a shade firmer, while our receipts were rather light, with fair ship- ments, These facts did not appoar to influence the market, however, till towards noon, The early feel- ing was entirely predicated on ‘the frost news, or, rather, the absence of it, A good many pur- chases bad been msde on’ Friday afternoon, and mostly by the class of operators who may be designated as “* temporary,” becauso they have cither not enoagh money or enough courage to remain on the long side of a deal more than fewhours, if the market wavors ever ao little, They bought expecting that it would freeze on Friday night, and sold an soon 38 possible on Saturday morning when they found that there bad been no frost in the corn-raising regions, This produced weakness, especially for October, which was the deal involved, and the pressure to sell’ caused it to be discounted below September for the first time. The market recovered from this pressure, and then a good demand set in for this month from ‘shorts, while all the car-lots offerod were readily taken, apparently for shipment. Cseh iota at one time’ commanded a premium of not less than lise over October. It is probable that this demand was based on the fact that the weather was cool, and even raw, rendering it possible that frost would occur before Monday, fhongh the westherwise ones shook thoir he ree marixing that it was too cold to rain, and too cloudy to freeze, Seller October opened at 583%c, declined to 8c, advanced to 59!;c, and closed at 5830, which waa ie below Friday’s closing, Seller the month sold st 5814 @a39%c, closing at 593¢¢; and cash No.2 closed at Gc, High mixed closed at GI@6ixc.
