CONFIDENCE OF CAPITAL IN ITS PUTURE. The situation of real estate interests in Chi- eago 15 deserving of careful attention. The sggregate transactions, from week to weel;, are Dot large at this time, when suburban property caonot be shown off, and when there are few changes taking place in residence or business quarters. Butthe insctivity of sales is made up by the R ACTINITY OF PREPARATION,: and ths heavy investments being made by capi- tal in the improvement of real estate. We have 80 thoroughly described the improvements of inside property in the erection of dwelling housce, &ingly and by the score, and of stores, that it is not now necessary to domore than to allude to the $10,000,000 spent i this way last year. If we torn tothe suburbs we everywhere encounter evidences of the energy with which Chicago is preparing for the sccommodation of the remainder of its expected MILLION OF INHATITANTS. At Cornell, one of the largest sewing-machine factories in the cotuntry will be in operation this epring, and negotiations ara in progress which will probably result in placing several other im- yportant manufactories at that point. A popula- tion of thousands will be bronght to oar vicinity try theseenterprises. Theiron manufacturing en- terprises of Sonth Chicago are rapidly approach- ing completion. Several hundred men will be at work for the Joseph H. Brown Iron and Steel Compapy this' epring, ard many times that mumber before the end of the sear; " The Town of Hyde Park pro- poses to complete tho opening and macadamiz- ing of South Chicago avenue, which runs north- west from South Chicago through Corpell to the city limits. It connects at the latter point with Michigan avenne. * SOUTHWEST AND WEST % the popalation this eide and beyond the city- 'miteis incressing much more rapidly thas those noacquainted with the locality wonld sup- sose. Lawndale is now a flonrishing place, con- tainiog 150 houses. The whole region in the vicinity of Lawndale and Dounglas Park gna Ogdes avenue is rapidly improving, and eev- era} sthemes are on foot for increasing the Tscilies of communication between this-im- portant district and the business centre. Norbwest along Milwsukes avenue, snd the Chicego & _ Northwestern — Rail- road, the same spectaclemay be seen of constant improvement. Blocks of honses are going up in every direction, and eeveral new suburban set- tlements are being constructed. On the North Side she march of improvement is everywhera visibie. Sireetimprovements, new hotels, biocks of hous:s, new drives, and new featurea of pub- lic importance in the parks all attest the TNPAILING PATTH 5 of the ¢ity and its citizens in the fatnre growth of this place. Real estate cannot be coneidered dull or depressed when the activity of capital in Twproving it and preparing it for the market is 9§ widespre#d and increasing. Sy § SALES OF THE WEEK. A GOOD SHOWING. The real estate market during the past week has been as active as could be expected at this season: The list of sales is - . ' - - A0coop OFE, and ehows that thereis a demand for all kinds of property. business and residence, improved aud unimproved. Inguiries are constantly reaching real estate ageuts here from outmde parties seekipg investments, but in most cases the most erroneous notions are entertained by these parties of the state of our market. They bave fallen into the mistaka of supposing that \aaded interestaare as demoralized hare as IN THE EAST. Cen per cent, met, upon the investment is the wodest profit upon which they insist. There are very few such bargains to bs picked up, and * outside ™ parties are not the ones most likely tosee them or take advantageof them.

MUNICIPAL EXTRAVAGANGE AND REAL ESTATE. ' Tre TrIBUNE has earnestly called the atten- tion of the owners of real estate and all oth- ers interested to the dissstrous effect on the valne of real estate of the continuance of any such municipal misrule and extravagance as has recently characterized Chicago in common with other cities. The A BURDEN FALLS UPON REAL ESTATE. - Personal property escapes taxes toa grest ex- tent. One corporation in New York State—the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad— is charged with having evaded $15,000,000 of personal property taxes. The New York Times pursuing the eame subject, Bays: There 1510t & mercantile house, broker'soffice, bauk, insurance company, d corporation, or anufac turing establishment in the country that could bear the of waste incurred by many of our cities. H,inany such instances, utter bankruptcy were escaped at all, it would be on sccount of large ro- sourcea back of the businees and disconnected with it. A majority of our cities avaid that catastrophe only by practically MORTGAGING THE PRIVATE REAL ESTATE within theirlimits, or by inordinato tazation, How much longer they will be able 10 avoid it is an inquiry which these people csunot too soon_ take into most ous consideration. The wasts of which we have ‘speaking, bad aa it is now, appears in many casea 10 be rapidly growing worse and worsa, There ia a Lim- it 10 the means of even our wealthy cities. Some of them can afiord a great deal, but they cannot afford everything, It wouid be an e gly instructive aritlimetical exercise for the people of very many of them to calculats how long,at therateof increass which hag for a series of years prevailed in their mu- nicipal expenditures, it would take for these expendi- tures, including the interest on the accumulated debt, 10 become 50 great as to NEUTBALIZE THE RSTIRE ANSUAL WOBTH OF THE REAL ESTATE we havementioned. We greatly fear that, for the pur- pose of expressing the number of years indicated by tbe solution, thers ars exceedingly few instances in which mors than two would ba required, and several in which not more than one would be needed. At any rate, the questions in regard to municipsl wasto that demand earnest attention relate natmerely to what it s at present, bot 3lso to what, if its progresa bo unchecked, it may,and in many casee inevitably will, s00n become. An interesting experiment in keeping down municipal debtsis being tried by the City of Atlsnta, Georgia, and it is worth being adopted more extensively. If thers is any balaoce against the city on the expense account at the end of the year the members of the City Govern- ment are made TERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AMOUNT. The resnlt has beed that the debt has been largely rednced, and all bills Lre paid on presen- tation. The quickest way to eure Colvin of his pas- sion for holding over as Mayor would be to make him responeible for all-thc outstanding citg certificates in April, 1877. o this subject of taxes the ZLand-Owner of this city says: ¥ 1t is the bounden duty of every man owning a foot of real estata o fight these destroyers. The man who fights taxes now, by every means i his power, keep- ing his money out of the control of the thieves in high place, occupics the position of a_patriot. Taxation st be reduced to what theland can bear. To this end let every real estate man join the noble army aof . tax-fghters. ‘There is no longer redress at the ballot-box. RBe- dress will come only throngh starving out the grand army of tsx-devourers, When the people will nolong- er‘“putup? for the official thisves, they will deaert the public offices they dm’xnca. When the cupboard is empty the vermin will leave, The cry that nop-pay- ment of taxes {s repudiation, 18 old and stale, Better jublic credit suffer a timethan the American peo- pla be mada paupers by oppreasive taxation. Let the watch-word be'ss of ald, ** Millions for defense, but not oné cent for tributa ™ to the tax-thieves who have bummed themselves into power. =g MISCELLANEOUS. WANTED—A RELIADLE AND ENTERPRISING REAL- | ESTATE RECORD, Coe of the most serious wants of the real- estate'interest in this city is an intelligent expo- pent of its views, and a trastworthy and accu- rate register of all the official and unofficial events and fransactions in’ the real-aatate mar- ket. Tho daily papers of course have Dot fho space to clhrooiele all the details of special in- terest to the owners and sgenta of real estate. Every interest has its epecial representa- tive. The Chicago real-satate - dealers shonld have s weekly paper. hers that would worthily represent them. The Land- Owner is edited with an ability and forcs that wm:‘lfir fit it admirably for such a place, if its conductors should choose to make ita issud weekly instead of monthly.

Amoog the needs of a great city, nope is plainer than the necessity of stability in busi- ness lacalities, For years the trade of New York has been seeking special centres, but the growth of the metropolis has compelled & change in these in every decade. Now, however, every class of business, as wo pointed ont the other day, is finding _its true and permanent hose, of which there is mo clearor evidence than the changes effected by the erection of the new Post-Office. It is only a fow months since that magnificent structure came into the occupancy of the postal authorities, and already tho neigh- borhood is becoming the financial centre of New York. In addition to the banking-houses and insurance companies which have offices in tbis ‘locality, we hesr that others are seeking sites in'the adjacent streets, and a very few years will effect & complete transformation in this respect. Itis only natural that this re- sult should follow the change of the Post-Office from Nassau street to Broadway and Park row. In London the Post-Office is the money centre of the British metropolis, and it alwaya was so in this city. The change from the rickety old building so long occapied by our Postmaster and his assistants to the splendid edifice in the City ‘Hall Park left the banking and insurance husi- ness behind ; but a change in the location of the Iatter is now inevitablo and will be for the bet- ter. Broadway and all of the latter streets in tho vicinity of the Oity Hall are admir- ably adspted to business of this na- tare, and the reeking, filthy section of the city west of the Bowery, of which the Five Yoints is the centre, may be transformed by this great and necessary change. From Eass to West Broad- way, aod from Canal to Wallstreet, is the future money ceatre of New York. This district thus used will give us anew and beautiful city, sod, as the rapid transit roads are to converge m the vicinity of the Post-Office and the New York terminus of the Brooklyn Bridge ia to be.in the eame neighborhood, it will be as accessible aa it is specially adapted to the purpose, No city in the world can boast & more admirable money centre, and, as the change is inevitable, we com- mend the subject to the careful attention and study of our business men, that the new city which is to rise in this locality may be bult wisely and well.—New York Herald. ! i CHEAP BUBURBAN FARES. To the Editor of 1'he Chicago. 7'ribune : If we are to have low fares on our subnrban trains, the railrosd companies must first reguce present rates to invite traffic, and not wait tillaa increase of populstion iuvites the reduction. Merchsuts first Iay in stocks and then invite cus- tom. Railroad companies,build roads todevelop the conutry through which their road passes, and count mare on the anticipated increase of custom than upon the amount of business to be done when the road is first opened for travel We believe there are roasons why low fares an our suburban trains will pay, and probably the firet year of the experiment. And first, asin tho case of postage, a_reduction in fares will cause 8 large incresse in travel from those al- ready Jiving in the suburbe. Where fares are now from 10 to 20 cents, many women who now come to town but seldom, would como much oftener were the rides but from 6 to 8 centa each, and many men who find work about home would run to town frequently were low fares the rule, A reduction in price of a much-used arucle usually induces 80 increase in consumption, and the increase is in a greater ratio than the reduc- tion whether the article be postage stamps, cof- fee, or car fares.. Low fares would invite to the suburbs many who now live in the city, butata distance from their places of work, eince from many suburbsthey could reach work in less tima snd with mora comfort than they now do by using street-cars or stages. Again, the fire law not being in force, small comfortable houses can be built at less cost outside the city than in; and, farther, many who uring the last two years bhave Jearned to man- age household expenses prudently, and who Lave found profit and happiness in sodoing, will, we believe, still further economise this year by removing to some suburb, should low fares in- vita them to Go so. It Jooks from the reasons mentioned, then, that low fares will induce in- craase of travel from those now liviog out of the city, and for the reasons mentioned will also stimulate the building up of the snburbs, and the increase from these two causes ought to be sufficient % make the reduction profitable to the companies making the reduction. Lastly, fares ought to be reduced to zereo with the decrease in salaries and profits of business, We hope the railroad managers will axamiue this subject care- fully and see if they cannot find it for their in- tereat to reduce rates for suburban travel.

The business of the banks continues to move in the routine channels that aro alone left openin the dull sesson that intervenes between the fall and spring trade.

THE COMMERCIAL LOAN COMPANY. On Monday, Feb, 7, Mr. J. D, Haryey, the Receivar, ‘will begin the payment of the second .dividend of 25 per cont to the depositors of the Commercial Loan Compans. The depositors of the Commercial Loan ‘Company have resson to congratulate themselves on the manner in which the s(fairs of the bank have been handled since its suspension. Itis very seldom that the ereditors of a defunct banking institutlon receive £0 per cent of their claims*within forty-ive doys after the suspensian, * SILVER CHANGE. The Director of the Mint states that the aconmula- tion of silver in the Tressury is now about §12,000,000. The plan of replacing the fractional currency with sil- ver seems to be persisted in by the Treasury Depart- ment. 1t is certain to cnd in disaster if attempted before the resumption of specie piyment. CONNIVANCE OF BANKERS AT FORGERY. The fact that has come to light, that the forged pa- per of Winslow was known to certain bank officers months befor . bis absconding, and was compromised o bis prompt payment of the amount g0 fraudulently obtained, is folloved by the declaration that the hsbit of using such spurious paper s not uncommon, and 18 nsed in e3ses where both the borrower and the lend- er are cognizant of the fact tha paper is forged. The New York Economiist mentions soveral atriking in- stances of the disposition am_ng reputablo men to condone ond pardon such olenses, aud the Boston _Advertiser rofers to others in Boston. The uniformity With which Winslow pursued his wild career wag in some degree due to this.

The amount of deposits in 1875 ag- gregates 59,930,144, an increase of $2,318,536 over the total for 1874, The withdrawals wero $2,700,600 less than during the previous year, The rate of ordinary dividends peid was as follows : 9 banks, 5 per cent; 1 bank, 53 ; 119 banks, 5; 1 bank, 63(; 23 bsnka, 63 1.bank, 6 95-100; 14 banks, 7; 1 bank, 719-100; 2 banks, 7% ; 1bank, 8.

It is difficult to ses why the Socretary of a’commereial organization should bo jealous 6f & mewspaper com- pilation of statistics; but Cincinnati is not alonoin thus particular. The leading produce markets exhibited few new fos- tures on Saturdsy. Provisions and wheat wers active and generally firm, while most of the other markets weradull. The trading has concentrated chiefly on thdse two for several weeks past, and Corn is no longer King on "Change, whatever it may be on the world out- side, The Corn is like Trust—*Don’t Pay killed him. The receipts of Grain were fair on Ssturday, and the weather was fine enough to please everybody, except those who wished for more snow and ice, and & ‘more brisk demand for coal. [ Tho dry goods market had no festures differing es- sentially from those hitherto natel. Quiet prevailed all around, and in most departments there was posl- tiveaullness. Thegeneral tenor of prices remained firm, Groceries were ordered moderately, Buyers were disinclined to anticipate wants, but rather to re- ,strict orders to such quantitics as are needed for the prosecution of current trade, Coffees remain unset~ tled, Sugars are firm, Rice, sirups, molasses, s0aps, ete., comparatively were stoady. Teas were held with confidence, under the belief that a tax will be im- posed. ‘There was o good demand for butter, both to supply local consumers and for shipment,and the market retains the firm tone for some time past char- acterizing it. Cheese was not handled to any very considerable extent, the freezing weather preventing shipments, Prices sof dried fruits wera generally steady, under 3 moderate demand, TFish were quoted ‘dull snd unchanged. There waga dull trade in the bagging, paints, oils, sud lesther markets, Coal and wood wers fairly active and firm. Hogs wers activeand strong at Fridsy's advance, sales makiog at. $7.0084.20 for common to extra grades. The bulk of the sales were at $7.80@8.00 for packing hogs. The fresh receipts were 9,500, and for the week, 116,167, Cattle were in light demand and sg1d slow at trregular prices—quoted at $3,00@5.50 for common to choice,” The receipts for the week were 17,205 bezd. There was o fair inquity for sheep at $1.00@5.50 for common to choice. Received during the week, 14,238 hiesd, Highwines were quoted at $1.06 per gallon. 5 Lumber w3s in moderate demand snd stesdy, Tho call is principally for rough _building lumber. In the pineries work is being rapidly pusiied, 20d unlees the snow should suddenly disappear there is little doubt but that an adequate ‘stock of logs will be made available for next sesson's manufacture, drugs continuo in moderate domand and stesdy, though bromide of potash is firm at 60@70c per . The market is as yet unafTected by the agitation of the traiff question. The seed market remains qulet though timothy 80ld more {reely Saturday, prices un- dergoing no appreciable change. Hay.was dull and easy. Hides, Lops, wool and broom corn were with- out new features. Youltry was firm under a good de- mand and ecarcely adequate offerings. Eggs were selling at recent prices. The efforts to maintain an advance have thus far been unsuccessful, as the re- ceipts continue fair notwithstanding the cold weather, 2and besides a large quantity of live and old stock 18 offared by parties who are anxious to get i off their Lands.

There was s good domand for pork products, in sympathy with a farther advance in bogs, but a good many operators came to the conclu-~ sion that tho recent risein product must ind a turn 800n, and hastened. to sell at what they thaught was near the top. Their offerings caussd depresaion, and the market for speculative product- closed about the same 83 on Friday afternoon. The past week hus been an active and buoyant one in pro- visions, owing to incressing belief in the theory of short crop. Wo are mow 113,311 head behind, as compared with the record of last winter's packing; ‘but he difference {s partislly compensated in Iard by an incressed yield, and stocks hava sccumulated dur- ing the week more rapidly than was anticipated.
