THC REAL ESTATE MARKLT F. ot often been as bure of voteworthy trans- = u8 88 it was during last week. The dealers, w3 wre pever dismaved or discouraged, noavi- mously reported that real estate was firmer, and when pressed for explanation referred to the weather. The priocipal oczupations of the week were attending to tax matters, title searching, &nd offico work that is allowed to sccumulate tul this quiet season. The FEELING OF THE SHREWDEST ODSTRYERS I8 that the present is an unusnally favorable op- portanity for investing in real estato here. One of the most successful agents in the city, a gen- tleman who in a yoar has soid $632,000 worth of the choicest improved property on State street, inthe business district. and lying within two blocks of Madison street, said yesterday that within five years the capitaliets and investors of Chicago would be upbraiding themselves for their folly in not having bongit real estate at this time. Propertyin the very heart of the oty oonld be bought at prices considerably below the tigures at which it had once old, and offering A CERTAIN AND HEAVY TROFIT. Those who had the nerve to go in now conld make handsome fortunes. It is noticesble that tue number of cheap pieces of inside property is diminishing. As suother promiuent dealer re- marked, *‘ The cheap lots are almost all sold.” This may be cepecially noticed on Michigan 2nd Wabzeh aveones, north of Twalfth sireet, where the decline was most marked. Property that *was offered a few montns ago at a great reduc- tion from ante-fire rates is no longer to be had. A gale wasmadeat the corner of Van Buren street and Michigan avenuo last year at $200a fook. A sorresponding corner oune block south is held Srmly at $500 a foot. On Wabash avenus thero bhas been an evident improvemont in the neigh- burhood of Madison street, owing to the erection »f thenew business blocks. aud also farther south where Board of Trade operators have pur- shased sud improved. Under these circumstan- 2o tD@ general tone of the real-estato murket is -Brm and coufident, for all the duliness in actual business. THE LTADING EALES OF THE WEER wore 28 follows : Rees, Pierce & Co. have sold to Field & Leiter 8 lot 50x108 feet, adjoining their stables on Griswold strest, for §10.000 cash. C. H.

Ts The Real Eslate and Building Journal give the history of a transfer of an important pieco of school property that renders it necessary for the parties named to riso and explain vigorously why they shou!d not bo elassed with thieves and swindlors. The Journal's stery is: That the School Commissioners owned up to about | 4o years ago 191 acres of land,—the south haif of Sec. 21,37, 14, At fhis time Mr. 1. P, Uinman, 2 man not uuknown to the Chicago rial estate fraternity s Laving 8 marvelous tulent for obtaining good indorsers on his personal notes, made overtures to tha School Commi:sioners to parchase the tract, and through Tiees, Pierce & Co., the authonzed ageats, elfected tie purdhase of 191 acres at K0 per acre, paying one-fourth cash., Aghort time afterward4 be muet, cither froma man, who also had become pretty well known to the trade’ here through ths venturesome spirit be manifested and through what appeared to be a murked business sbility for one s0 Youns. Himnan found no ditliculty in per- susding (?) the youth that the laud was worthi S1,000 per acre, though be bad recently bonght it for $3'per acre. He also as easily persuaded him that he owned 210 acres instead of 191, and by his glowing prophecies of the future induced the young man {o Lay it, giving his notes for $240,00 for the property. Thoe terms were certamly tempting either to a rascal or groen- Lorn, £0 one of which class no onn will doubt Mr, B P.S. belongs. The youth, it sectne, did not stand up- on details, anid therefore, if we can’ belicve Lis state- ment, did pot aek for an absiract—did not even sscertain Ar. B, P, H. owned what Le was selling. Tio \rent on oud subdivided tho entire 40 acres, and was sbout 3o offer it on market when ke suddenly discovered that Ciace & Abel owned 43 acres of it, and therenpon indignantly refused to put Dis plat of record until ordervd to do so by Judge Dlodgett, who al=o ordered lum to explain the mis- take () in the deeds. By the way, theve decds had the consideration per acre marked nt $1,:00, 2nd wero g0 recorded; $300 per acre would Le a large price for- this property. All tois would v left the commuaity harmles if the potes of Mr. Steveus had been unue- motinbie, but it appesrs that this Cincinnati Land Prince ims succeeded in disporing of many of them, and the innocent Buckeyed, the swindled, are after Jr. Stovens for payment. They, of course, were not usaiiable in Chicago, where everybody knows taat the Youth Stevens is irresponsible. He hus been driven () iuto baniruptes. REAL ESTATE IN SAN FRANCISC( The San Franciscu Real Esiale F up the real-cstate marieb of that city for as follows: Thet real estate was lively in 1875, £ 1 ng the year s Ly 1 sales of the ¥alue of $12,3%3; znd 3,854, of the vaiue of $13,°0 ‘were 4,38 s1lca made in 1575, of the aggregate amonat of $35,85,574. This was au increase over 1874 of 634 in number, 3ad of £11,995,471 in value. ‘Tie yeor 1675 was a peculiar oue i respect to real- estatc operations. During the Grst four monts real estate of all kinds, but purticularly large busineas and private-residence propertie, were in moet sctive de- mand, a¢ fall and, In some cases, extremy prices. Those wera the months in which the mining-stock ex- citement roged. The majority of those who made mouey in it invested largely in real estate, During Slay, Juse, July, sud August sbout $2,060,0%0 werc added fo the valuo of the sales by transfers from the late Wilbam C. Ralstun to Wiliizm Sharon, and by other transfers zrowing out of the failuro of the Bink of Culifornia.
