E CHICAGO TRIBUN : 'SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1875.—SIXTEEN PAGES. REAL ESTATE. Holders Have Too Much Confidence in Chi- cago’s Fnture to Saerifice Their Property. Consequently Very Few Transac- tions are Reported by Dealers. A Considerable Falling Off in Loans and Applications for Loans. Individual and Corporate Indebiedness of New York and Chicago,. There is 6till no movement in the real-estate market. The views of seliers and buyers are too far apart to favor transactions. The very little—almost nothing—tbat is doing shows both the confidence of holders and the caution of burers. With both parties, it is simply a ques- tion as to whether bottom figures have yet beea reached. The rule that when everybody wants o sell is the time to buy, is generally regarded a8 8 good ono; but the question whether every- body wants to sell bad enough to put down prices very coneiderably below present hotding Tates is answered inalmost as many different woys as there are persons to discuss it. Holders, relying on the past bhistory of the city, feel well assured thas in the end their real property is sure to command fair and even romunerative prices. They study the rapidiy- extending trade of the oity, which, with the ex- ception of Mexico and the insignificant countries south of it, laya the whole continent under con- tribution to its weaith, and they determune to hold on If possible to what they have, aud get 28 mnch mora ss they can. They kuow that with bereaud there an exception, hke Vanderbilt, Stewast, and a fow that might be named in this city and eleewhere, the ) QREAT FORTUNES in &l the leading cities of the courtry were made on real estate. Statistics have hown that more than 90 per cent of merchants fsil in business' xnd become poor, and the exme may be ssid. perhaps truly. of real-estato speculators; bot the men who buy to bold, or who invest the actus! surplus derived from their business in lota and lands in and aronod a great city like Chicage, are surc to win. Of course, whetber the time to invest has arrived, we leave to the judgment of each indinidual. - FOR THE MARKED DULLNESS in the market just now, the Real Estale Journal gives the foilowing reasons: Real estate is just now in that condition which all medioms of surplus investment are, when money is turning itaclf almost wholly fnlo commercial and agri- caltural channels, and when 8 great crop is being noved and the fall trade is 1n full bigst, requiring an unusually large amouns to corduct these operations. ‘Wheuever there is a sudden incresse of trade and 1more than ordinary stir in other markets, land buyers &re apt to hold off until the sequel of the movement is aevoioped before deciding upon locsiities for invest- ment. " A vast amount cf mogey has Juin idle and is Dow being freels used, and the eurplus of Western Earks is being cxbansted 1 supplying the demand, Tt 18 nutural that on the renewal of activity money ahoald first seek other depositories than real yroperty. It is 1he protits of other business that cre invested in rea ty. It has aiways followed, never led, o Topening in- tereet inwade. And as it aiways bus followed, it is fair to expect that 1t will continte to do 8o, and that in ® few montls ut farthest there will be 3 mrong and sctive trade in land, CITY DEBTS. The matter of the individual and corporate indebtedness of aifferent cities bas much to do with the profits to accrue to the holders of real estate. In this respect Chicago ia certsinly no woree off than most other American cities. Our manicipal debi is, 1n round nambers, about 812,- 000.000, and the park debts on different sections of thecity about §4.600,000 more. Our bestinformed citizens estimate the individual icdebtadness at £60,000,000. Most of this bas been contracted Ewmce the great fire of 1871 to rebuild the city, and, with rars excoptions, the interost on ibese loans is promptis paid. Only a few parties have defanilcd, and their property has been, or1s to be, suld. A wise provision e! the Const:tution of the State proaibits our city lemaistors from incressing our municipal debt aboved per osnt on its taxable valie. While the condition of Chicago is bad enough, apd tbere is & large drain on our resources to pay interest, that of NEW YORK - is vastly worse. Of the individual indebtedness of that city the Brookivn Union has this to sav 3,000 neres in New York City, cxclusive y-fourth Ward, Tpon these it is esti- mated rests s mortgzge at the average rate of §1:0,00 per acre, or $10,000 per lot of 25x160 feet. Aamitting 1hint 3,000 acres of this ares belonging to wealthy own-— ers cre free of this clarge, it will leave 10,000 acres of the island under mortg:ge st an average of 160,600 per tcre, making a total morigage debt of £1,000,000,0:0. jor s this a0 extravagant estimate, although nearly approaching 1o the entire interest-bearing dobt of the Tnited Stutes, psyieg in intercss, txes, liwyers' and brokers’ fecs, without counting nssessments, a yearly charge for intere:t, etc., nearly doudle that of the in- terests on United States bouds, reaching to the enor- mous amount of §165,000,000. - The municipal debt of New York is £142,000,- 000. The joterest on this and on the individaal indebtedness must all be taxed npon the busi- nesa of New York. From these facts it is easy 10 ses why her peoplo are diiven to New Jersey aud sl the surrounding country io live. We cau alsduaderstand why 1z i= that tho real-estate tranafers in thas city are now msde slmost en- tirely under mortgage eales. This thing must £0 on till business there revives, or till liquida- tion is fully effected. The groaning of her mer- chants and capitalists,and their wails about dull, ha:d times are, in view of thase facts, resd:ly understood. If they want to wear cheerful faces and siop their erowliog, let them pack up their goods and their household travs and come to Chicago, where business 18 active aod the ‘people are happy. THE LOAN MARKET. The actual losning business of the past week bas been very elow, and there has been consid- erable falling off both in the loans effected and In 2pplications. It1s true, that the figures in the statement below are aboat up to the average, but more than one-third of the amount comprises real estaze transactions or renewals, Agenta are in- zlined to consider the present limited demand for money a8 & healthy sign, indicating a disposition to clear off old liabilities before plungiog further into debt. Capitalists have for some years re- garded Chicago as a favorable field in which to employ their surplus funds, and their confidence i8 strengthened by the promptuess with which interest has boen paid and principal discharged, cven during the depression of the past three years. Beneath the surfacothere is a strong undercurrent of cantion, which is driftiog ‘both borrowers and lenders into one concerva- tive channel; as though both were agreed that the bottom of the real-estate market had not yet been reached, and that, therefore, it behooves them to ** go slow.™ COMPABATIVE STATEMEST FOB THE WEEK KXDING ocT. 16, ' 1875, 635,714 258 $,223,008 | 152 56 1:9,241 tun, | Ko.| ton.

Scencs on the Streets When the Toil- ers Start for Home, Visitors to our city have not seen ittill they have strolled through its streets after the stroke of 6 in the evening. They may have carefally inspected the outsido of the ehell inhabited by the aoimal called Chioago, but the architecturs and the pavements are Dot the creatare itself.

The hurrying thronga that joatle each other on the sidewalks apd peo- ple the horse-carsthroughthe businesshours are made up, in lapge part, of strangers and sojourn- ers of a day. The Chicagoan proper is, at those hours, a3 & genera! thing, a prisoner within doors.

To the Editor of Ths Chicago Tribune - CHIOLGO, Oct, 16.—~I have befors me an English consol for £5, costing in April, 1872, £4 128 6d, or 99)c. Consols are now worth about 94c. Iappend & copy of thia consol, leaving ont {ho owner’s name, power of attorney, date of transfer, with the precs tonary instructions on each end. On the reverse side are directions 28 to tme and manner of collecting dividends, whieh are payable Jan, 5 and July5of each yesr, free of charge, at the Bank of England, or anyof its agents or correspondents. The cansol is about one-third larger than an English bank-note, and is substantially in the same form ond anclent style adopted in 1757, when the English debt was consolidated into a perpotusl annuity, which the word “consol” is intended to represcnt. The debt of Grest Britain is held by her own peopls. ‘Trust funds, the money of retired people, insurance, znd other surplus capitsl, is invested in the public funds. Add the small amount which can be invested, the safety and convenience of management, Tender the consol very popular with the smaller tradesmen and all clagses of people. Thus the English debt, though greater than our own, is not simply a burden, but in some sense the glory and strength of the coun- try.—a bond of union among the people. Any man, ‘woman, or child baving a pound sterling can invest it in a Government security where it will draw 3 per cent,and ean reconvert it into the money of the country at pleasure by s eimple transfer to any one who wishes to buy. Besides the ordinary consol, thers is issued s certificate of indebtedness, with coupons attached, for the convenience of foreigners or persons temporarily absent from the country. EM.C.

The two certificates of inspection were forwarded to New York, where they claim to sell Milwaukea No. 3 spring at 3@4c per bu more than can b obtained far Chicago No.3. Only one other statement is needed to mike the case utterly inexplicable. That wheat waa passed upon in this city Dy the Inspectorat a house the receipts of which for No. 3 have recently been selling at & rather heavy dis- count, on the supposition that the No, 3 wheat in that house was not 50 good as that in other Chicagd houses, Truly, the waysot Providence are mysterions; but the wags of some men would séem tobo past nding out. The leading produce markets were very irregular on Baturday, the downward tendency being the most prevalent, thongh most of the markets elsewhere were understood o be strong. The J sbipping move- ment here was light except in wheat, which is in ur- gent requess for expart to Europe, and freight rates were well sustained, at 3)c for Wheat to Buffalo, and 6c,for do to Oswego, There was no perceptiblo change in the position of the dry-goods market, Falr sctivity was obseryabloin nearly all departments, and aside from prints, values of whichare still somewhat unsettled, the market again presented s steady and firm tome.

Suturday’s chacges were confined to an advance of 5¢ n old layer ralsins, and a Xecin peaches and blackberries. Stocks of domestic fruitsare light, and are well concentrated, anda farther advance is among the probabilities, Fish con- tinue in good demand, and both lake and salt water de- scriptions are firmer.

There was a fair ‘movement in both of these staple articles, and former quotatéons were thoroaghly sustained, The bagging, leather, cosl, and Wood markets remain as before. Oils were moving fairly for the season, and all lines were firm. A continned scarcity of turpentine is noted, and the price hzs advanced to 50c, The hog market was less activeand easier, The supply was much Inrger than expected and & decline cf ' 5@i00 was sustained eariy i the day. The bulk of the sales were at $7.30@7.75. Receipts9,000. Cattle were fairly active and were firm and steady at the vance gained earlier in the week—native at $2.50@6.50 and Texans at $2.50@4.50.

Highwines were in good demand and steady at $1,133¢ per gallon, with sales of 300 bris, The intenor demand for lumber continues good, and the local trade is fair for the season. Prices are unchanged. The cargo market Was quiet Saturday, the offerings being small, beeides operators generally preferred to bold off untl this week. The demand for iron is reported very fair, but the hrge supply on sale keeps the market inan un- sottied state: The wool market remaina quiet. There 15 some inquiry from the seabord csties, but at lower prices than most of the stocx is held at. Broom corn was active but easy, owing to large offoringe. Hops were dull, Hay waa in moderate demand and steady, except the low grades, including No. 1 prairie, which 80ld after sellers st reduced prices fully 30c per ton. Seeds remain quiet, the trading being confined to tim- othy and flax, both of which were steady. Green fruits and vegetsbles were unchanged. Poultry, eggs ‘and game were all dull and weak, prices being decided- 1y in buyers’ favor. PROVISIONS, 'HOG PRODUCTS—Wexe sctivein the aggregute, and generally weak, but very irregular, The receipta of hoga were only moderate, snd the quality poor, while the fareign markets were stronger, but present offer— ings of product were large, under the fact that the 5tocks hero are more than twice s large a2 at this time Inst year. Hence holders were anxious to sell, except in thecase of Jard. It ia not, expected that the pack- 1ng seazon will ofen actively, because the hoga are now in poor condition, and there is plenty of corn on which to fstten them. Packers are not, therefore, anxious to sell ahead till they underatand the situation Detter than now, but cesh product rales rather heavy.
