SOMETHING TO BE FROLD OF. ‘The people of Chicago have sbundant reason to be proud of her rapidiy-extending commerce, embracing atready, with the exception of Mexico, 1he entire North American Continent, and a very Jargeana rapidly increasing direct export aod §moort trsde with Europe; of her railways, reaching from the Atisatic to tho Pacific Ocean, and from all the Great Lakes tq, Lhel}u_]l’ot Mexico; of her miles of magnificent business blocks, built a8 if by magic since the great fire of 1871; of her having become in the short epace of & quarter of a century the largest grain, fomber, and domestic and snimal product ‘market in the world; of the high character of her merchants, and the fact that, with only a few exceptions, sll her banks stood up nobl'y and paid all demands promptly daring the panic of 1873, while those of overy other leading city Ja the Unton were suspended for weeks ; of all this and much more may our people be justly proud ; but in nothing does the marvelous Prog- ress and metropolitan position of Chicage more certainly appear than in the great extent and rapid progress of her PARXS AND BOULEVARDS. Tt may be doubted also whether any other im- provementa will bring her more substantial capital er a larger and more desirable population than this system of drives and parks that are soon destined to surfound theentire city. Mery chants, bankers, capitalisis, and gentlemen of taste frem all parts of tho country are attracted by them, and come and make theirbomes among us, that their families may grow up in the en- joyment of the pleasure and the culture they afford. Hence Chicago never mado a better in-~ vestment than iu theso elegant sources of health and smusement which are becoming 80 marked a featnre in the progress of our city. Tive years ago there was not a decent drive in or about the city. Immedistely after a street +was paved every dray or heavily loaded team in that section of it crowded the.thoroaghfare ,and it was, in a month at most, foll of holes, and was very soon nearly spoiled by the tremendious ‘busineas that was put upon it. Threo years ago last apring the South Park Commissioners com- menced active oparations, and they have now at Jeass VIFTEEN MILES OF EXCELLENT DRIVES -and splendid ponleverds, and-more than as many miles of sewers draining s wide extent of coun-~ 4ry. This drainage is now really worth to the Town of Lake more than all the tax tho people thave paid to the Park Fund. Our citizens can spend an entire afternoon with gteat plessure showicg their friends what has already been accomplished. ;A few rods from the station. near the north side of the most southerly of tho two parks, tho «Commissionera have excavated from s elongh, the muck of which was needed to earich the ad~ joining sand ridgee, two beantiful lakes, in alf Arom 100 to 200 feet wide and 1,000 feet long. “The ruatic bridges will be finished and the lakes Hilled within the next few weeks. Between the adjoining ridge on the east and another along the Iake shore is another lsrge slough, which -will be excavated mw‘m apotherlake, These ‘aloughs farnish the material and st the <heapest possible cost for eariching the soil an the adornment of the park. Al balf a mile south of the north line a pier has been thrown opening & chennel this pro- psed Inke, for it is intended that Pleasure bave access to it. The park extends nearly two miles along the lake Iront, on which it is proposed to make s splen- ‘did drive a8 soon 84 possible. These improve- ‘1ments sre probably known to onein a hundred of Jthose who vigit the parks. We recommend visi- rtors to drive aouth from the south end of Drex- el boulevard, and to fallow the splendid avenue soulh directly to the green-houses to where it turns east on the 604 feet conmection between jthe two parks, and thenco across the Illinois Central to the lake-shore. Till you reash the shore-park there is not much improvement, and along the lake only & promise of what is to be a Inost atiractive feature during the coming sea- son. AT THE GEEEN-HOUSES the writer found Prof. Balcock busily engaged fixing up thinge for the winter. He and kis as- 8ocistes, Judge Hinbard and others, give their veluable services to the city without fee or re- ward, except in the consciousness of doing an srtietio and most important work. In the few mmonths the department has been organized, the Profeseor has received 28 s gratnity from in- dividuals, and public and private gardens in dif- ferentparts of the world, some 3,500 varieties of seeds and plants, and within the shortest time it will requure to grow them our citizens will have ready for inspection epecimens of nearly all the trees, shrubs, and plants that grow upon ‘the faco of the earth. Certainly 8 most promis- ing bemmping has been made, and our citizens will soon find tbemselves very greatly indebted 1o Prof. Babeock, lus associates, and the South Park Commirsioners, for one of the most de- lightful places to visit that taste and calture can: suggest. A Wilup the last few wecks the promise of the Commissioners made last spring to commence in carnest the improvement of WESTERN AVENUE has been fuifilled. The fences on the east side of the avenue for nearly the entire distance be- iween the canal and Pavilion perkway (Fuifty- fifth streqt) bave been set 200 feet; the ground in the centre has been plowed ap, and preparations have been made to plant trees lhfi entire mdi':hn:nee blcm“ du:a sen:‘nn closes. is dne people, and especially the mnyem in Southwestern Chicago and in the northwestern part of the Town of Lake, that this grand boalevard should be pushed forward to completion withont delay. Itis intended to make it similar aad equal in every e to Drexel boulevard. - The Commissioners find themselves eadly in need of names. An expressive as well as a beaatiful uame is more important and valuable o a boulovard or a park than might at firet be supposed. Such-a nawe iz needed for Westorn avenue, fram the canal ta Fifty-fifth street. As to the name of that strest suggested by Mr. Olmstead, Pavilion parkway, it bas no eignifi- cance whatever. A pavilion is defined tobe “‘a tent—a temporsry movable habitation ;" in i s kind of turret or building usually insulated andicontaived under a single ool ;" and 50 of the other definitions given by ‘Webster, none of which have any application to au avenue, unless, indeed, Mr. Olmstead sup- posed 1t wonld be lined un each side with teats— a theory that will never be realized. A new and appropriste name therefore is needed for Fifty- fifth street o As to “WENTWORTH PARF, 3t our distinguished citizen gives the laod, that ame would he received with scciamation by onr half milion of people. The park at the inter- enction of Western avesue and Fifty- fifth ' street ©noeds an appropnate name, The north park of the two south parks 38 open for a like distinction, and the one on the 1ake shore equally 50. Now who of our citizens will relieve the "Commirsioners of embarrass- ment by fornishing beamtiful and expressive names for their parksand boulevards ? It should o done st once. ‘The West Side Commissioners ehonld move in the matter at once for a connecting avenne be- tween Donglas Park aud Western svenae at tho canal, This mile and a half with a short linkon ihe North Side isall that is necessary to com- plete the drive some 25 miles or more entirely acound the city. Land is now chesp, and the eoomer it ia dope the better. When completed Jtwill be the eimple truth to eay that Chicago "THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1875~SIXTEEN PAGES. will bave the finest aud most extepsive system ks and boulevards of the world. ithin the last two or three months othar IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS have been made in the southwestera section of the aity. Forty-third strcet has been gradsd from the Stock’ Yards west to Archer avenue, sad the bridging is tobe finished ina couple of weeks, This wil! form 8 most important thor- oughtare, Hesrt avenue has been graded and bridged from the Brighton House to Forty-third street, and sidewslks are g::dmm most of the way. Blanchard avenue ‘been ed be- tween Forty-third and Forty-seventh strcets. The Alton & St. Lonis Railway bas commenced surveying for its shops on Egan avenue west of of tho Brighton House. Tho Chicago & Southern Railway are already building their shops at the crossing of Forty-seventn street and Archer avenue, and generally there seems tobe & fair prospect of stirring times ahead in this hitherto neglected suburb, —the vearest to the centre of the city,— where lots and lands can yet belad at very cheap rates. THE MARKET. IN THE REAL-ESTATE MARRET there is really nothing new to report. Trans- actions are few and comparatively unimportant. The views of buyers and sellers remain too far apart to allow many transfers to occur. Hold- ers generally, who have no special Teas0ns to sell, need not ba approached, for they wnu‘nu( part with their property at any prices now like- ly to be offered. Tho actwvity in mer- cantile and manufacturing interests and the splendid crop of the year, and the fair Prices ruling, give them sssurance that in due time & good demand and satisfactory prices must bo realized for real property. It bss always been 80 1n the past, and such they beliave will be the resultsin the future. As to how long they will have to wait is a matter which each one mustde- «cide for himself. We bear of some inquiry for acre property, bus a8 yet there aze no sales of any considerable importance to record. This kind of property bas always been & favorite with those who buy 3o bold. It makes them lass trouble, and, what- ever may be the market for the time being, it is surein the end to yield satisfactory profits. A fow transactions come scatfering along in and near the central business portions of tho city ; but most of them are really trades, and they can gcarcely ve regarded as a fair index of prices, We give the following SPECIMEN SALES: W. D. Eerfoot & Co. have sold 58x893¢ feot on narthwest corner of Wells aud Manroe streets, for $82,500 cash, for J. Hall Pleasants to L. Z.

Aup expression has been made in our bearing the past week to the effect that the ability to borrow money is no indicstion of the prosperity of the city. We are not incliged to subscnibe to this opinion without qualification. A very large proportion of the loans of the present year have been invested in improvements, and as such im- provements have been demanded by publio con- venience, either for busincss or residenco pur- poses, can there be a more patent sign of the growth and well-being of the community? Thero are but few vacant stores at the present time in the bueiness- part of the city, and the new ones are quickly occupied. It is true that residences do not go off so fast. but the elogant blocks in process of completion are in most desirable localities, and will doubtless not go begging for tenants a long time. Capi- talists appear to have sufficient confidence in Chicago real-estate investments £o continne poar- ing their surplus funds into the hands of their sgenw. Borrowers therefore appear to have beon justided in borrowwg, nd lenders are equally satiafied as regards the safoty of their cepitsl, and the future prosperity of Chicago. ‘We claim that the ability to borrow is an indici- tion of a bealthy condition. It is very true that a reckless distribation of capital may end in diro disaster, but there 15 no foar of tlus o long as loauable funds are controlled by the conserva- tive policy which has gained for our loan agen- cies their present eaviable reputation. Thoso who tave followed our articles on the loan market understand very iell that Chicago security nover stood better than at the presont time. ITOWErs aro a source of mautual benctit both o the community and the capitalist, *1f there were no such thingas credit, or if from general insecurity and want of confideuco it were scantily practiced, many per-~ sona who possces more or fess of capital, but who cannot personally snfirinmml its employ- meunt, would derve: no benefit from it ; their funds would either lio idle, or would be, per- lizps, wasted sud annihilated in unskillful gt tempts to make them yield a profit. Manya person who has either no capital of his own, or very little, obtaing sdvances in money by which be is enabled to increase the public weaith.” The loan business of the past week has been very fair in amount, and the improvemeut of property is still in the ascendant. Money is plenty, and demand is gaod.

Iu the various sectionf of this city, improved in this past building seagon, that batween Harri~ #on and Twelfth 8treets, weat of Ashland avenue to Wood street, deserves a special mention. The largest row of dwelling-liouse property in the West Division has just been finished on Marsh- field avenue, ono square west of Ashiand avenue, and south of Taylor stroet, by F. A. McCormick. There aro vineteen dwelling-houses in all, and they aro built in three distinct blocks, occupying s frontage of over 400 fest. These houses are two atories and basement, eleven rooms, with hot and cold water, bath, water-closet, marble wash- stands and mantels, copper boilers, ete., and re- plete with all modern conveniences, and sup- Dlied with & private sewer, which slone hes cost Mr. McCormick over $2,000. There is also & diamond sidewalk laid by the Portland Cement Faving Compsny afong the entire frontage, aud the interior of each house is beautifully finished io aak and waluot. The houses are all buils of brick, the centre block being Milwaukee briok, tuckpointed black in front and rear, with light stone dressings, and the fronts of all the honses having octagon bay windows from the ground to the roof. alternated with uare bay win- dows, ornamental stoops, and copiog-walls, etc, all combine to make one of the most bandsome and elegant blocks of dwelling-house property in the city. These houses are quite convenient to the business con- tre,being but thirty minntes’ ride by the Twelfth aud Clark street Omnibus Line, and but five minutos' walk from the Van Buren street cars, There are algo eight very fine dwelling-houses on Marshfield avenue and Polk streot recently erected, as algo s large number of other - baild- ings, finished and almost finished, in this same seqtion, IAPOBTANT IMPROVEMENT IN HYDE PARK. Judge C. B. Waite on Wednesday closed the contract for building twelve octagon front resi- dences at Hyde Park, o be constructed of brick, With stone trimmings, each two stories and bage~ ment. Seven of these houses are to be located on the southwest corner of Jefferson avenue 8 Fifty-third street ; the other five are to be 8n extension of the block of four buildings al- ready built on Fufty-third street. These buildinga are to be built in a similar style to those con~ stracted by him on_Fifty-third street last sea- son, Are to be supplied with all the modarn con- veniences, and will be an elegant and substan- tial improvement. They are to be commenced immediately and inclosed this fall, aud will be completed by the 1stof May noxt, Itmay be stated that of the_elevon brick residences built in Hyde Park by Judge Waite duriog the past two years, geven have been sold, and three of thenew houses have been sold in sdvance, These, with other improvements constantly go- ing forward in Hyde Park, are calculated to dis~ pel the moression that times are very dull in this intereating suburb, ———— The verdict of the Coroner’s jury in the case of a Detroit dry-goods clerk who died suddenly the other day was: *‘Aiter a-careful examins- Hon wa find that death ensued from his baving Deglected to ask; *Anything else to-day?' of a 184y leaving the store.” Buasiness Active--New York Ex- change Weak.

The acquisition and fmpraanent of a park is clearly a local improvement withirhie meaning of the Covatitution. Tho laws of the Skt anthoriza the fasue of the bonds mentioned, and tiepower thus conferred has been appropriately exercial. The indebtedness of tha Town of Noxth Chicaiccreated by tho bonds, including the present indobeiness of the town, does not exceed 6 per cent of itgroperty, as ascertained by tho last asscssment theref; and the law authorizing the issue for the collection of an cousl tax sufiiclent to psy the interest on a:hdebsas falls due, and also to pay and dis- charp the principol thercaf within twenty years from the tre of contracting the same, 88 required by tho Condiation af the State. T dnot deem it important to conejder whether the specd azsceament propoded to be made on contiguous Propety, for the purposs of paying said bonds, will be sufiient to pay them, nor the value of the lands in- cludd in the park, which are irrevocably pledged for the jymont of the debt, a8 the town is required to pay {¢ same in any event, and ita sutnority and re- Sourfs are amplo for that purpose.

HOG PRODUCTS—Wero ogein irregulsr, pork be- ing stronger, lard steady, and mests dull and weak, The receipts of hogs wero Hght, 33 is usual on Satur- day, and prices were well sustained, but operators in product wero not disposed {0 go into new deals and ‘purchases were chisfly made to ill contracts maturing soon., The trade is all at sces yet in regard to the proepects of the coming seasom, the price of hogs being higher than it haa been heretofore safo to begin with. Packing is proceeding very slowly, the weather of the past week having been $00 warm, and stocks of product are very ligat in con- sequence. Ome or two packers expect o begin eatly the coming week, should the westher be favorable, but the gnality of the hogs is not such aa to fnvite too heavy operations, the feeding having been chiofy on new corn, which does not maka good ard hogs.

That ought to bring wheat here during the remainder of this month; and, if the prei=nt premium is main- tained, we msy look for largo receipts of Northwestern wheat here during the coming week. On Saturday morning the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad reported to the Board of Trade that it bad received 428 bris beef, and no pork; to s firm in this city which gathers tho daily statistics it reported 420 brls pork, and no beef. Tho Milwaukee & St. Pan reported to the Board the receipt of 2,400 bu oats, and 10 the other made it 24,000 bu oats, These are samples of the discrepancies to which we have often called ot~ tention in the past. Our readers can judge for them- sclves tho value of totals guined by sdding such figures. Wenote that receipts for low grade wheat in tho Rock Islsnd Elevators sold on Saturday st nearly the same prices as those in other houses. The dificulty, to which we have several times roferred, is probabiy cnded, by the order published in THE TRIBTNR of that day. Parties who own grain along the line of the Rock Island Railrosd may now send their grain bers with o reasonabls expoctation that they will receive as much foritasif itcame on some otherline. The cleaning of wheat will be proceeded with 85 usul by the parties along the above named road, bus the wheat £0 cleaned will be gent East and sold by sample on its merits. It i proper to note hers that there 1s 0o more haxm, per #¢, in the act of cleaning wheat here than in doing the same thingin Buffalo. Any man should have the privilege, as he has the right, to improve the value of his own proparty, But what was complained of was the fact that the placing of that grain in store here, in a higher grade than that to which it was ussigned beforo cleaning, has coused the grain owned by other peopls to be discriminated sgainst. Suyers for shipments were not willing to give as much for that cleaned wheat s for grain which bad been fnspeoted fnto the same grade withont such gpecial cleaning; and when that cleaned wheat was dumped tnto bins with other wheat which had not Dbeen put through tho process, the whole was discrimi- nated sgainst. Wemayadd that the gentlemen en- gaged in wheat-cleaning bave conceded the justice of the order, and gracefully accepted the situation. The order s printed read that “No wheat will be delivared by this (railroad) Company to the Rock Taland Elevators st Chicsgo, except that which 1 re- ceived at other stations on its line, in regular course of shipment; and the use of its track, engines, and cars, in the removal of wheat to or from said elevators, except in regular transportation between Chicago and other points on this 20d other lnes, 15 poaitively pro- hibited.” The order applies equally to all' kinds of for new; $:1.60 for ecller the month; SIS.S5@18.871¢ scller the year; §18.75¢ 18.80 for January; snd $18.85 h , and generally qoted stead: sery quict, and ge moted steady, Dut dull, a8 Liverpool wea no Righer, and theze was an importact reduction in the gold premium, Thestocks of old are holioved to be nearly sold out.

This difference arises from the fact that those markets ‘have been largely oversold for October, and shippers cannot afford to compete with tha shorts when the lat- ter are upan their metile, Thelow grades of grain are moving forward rather freely, a8 they are not dl- rectly swayed by the speculstive excitements which keops up No. 2.
