Thers ig a slight improvemens in business, and enticipations of a successful season are quite froquently to be met with. Lonn agents are not alone in taking this ssnguine view, but builders and those engaged in kindred trades are in sym- pathy with them. A rush is not expected, buta steady demaud for money for building parposes i8 looked for, The low rate of idterest noted in one or two isolated cases in our Iast Sunday’s is- gue Lias not been followed up by cozresponding figures the past week. As wagstated atthe time, they wers exceptionsl. and afforded no eriterion of the general atato of the market. Borrowera must not in dulge the hope that they can find any lenders anxious fo rend money on these terms unless nnder extrnordinary circumsiances. As & specimen, we note an instrument recorded to secure 10,000 payable within one yoar at 7 per cent intereat. Dut this was not a loan, but was to secure an accrued mercantile indebtedness. It may bo safely asserted that if any one sno- ceeds in borrowing money at 7 or 74§ per cent, be will find that the commissions, etc., will more than make up the difference. The rate of inter- est i gtill from 8 to 10 per cent, the Intter fig- ure for small loans. The following are the mora important loans : 220,000 for three years at 8 per cont. secured by SDD feet corner of Forty-goventh street and vlu— cennes avenue; $20,000 for five years at 9 per cent, securod by 25 feat fronting north on Man- 108 Etreet, botwoen Dearborn and Clark streets; 210,000 for five years at 8 per cent, secured 6314 feet on Michigan avenue, near Thirteent streat ; 240,000 for five im at 8 per cent, Be- cured by 175 feet on Olark street, southwees cor- ner of Twellth strect.

The Globe-Democral of the 3d says : ‘This {s the condition wa have reached two yeirs anit & half after the panic, and, while we are trying to flat- ter ourselves that the worst has been passed, we arv. confronted with the prospects of the ruats, which al~ ‘ways form an important feature of tho business situa- tion in the spring of tho year, The prospect hera is that rents, which were lowsr last year then the yesr ‘before, will be lower this year thanlast. We recently ‘published an article from the New York 7'imes, show- ing that, in New York, this decline affected every nelghbflrhwd, and that the whole shrinkage in the past thro yeury would probably verage fros £ fo per cent, The same rule holds good im olher cities, Boston, which haa always been considered the firmest and atevdiost of cltie strangely enough showing the greatest weiknees in rents. If this is am indication of prosperity, we are Very prosper- ous; bot the troubls of it is that we thresten t0 reach that pitch of prosperity when half the housos ‘will be vacant, and the other Nf ‘occupied by tenauts paid for taking care of them. A part of thim decling is, of courze, duo to the enormous and constantly in- creasing l0ad of taxation. FEven duriug the years sinco the panic, while poverty hus been spreading, and the troubles of the times hivocoms home to every business taau, tig tax-eaters have benn steadlly {nvent.
